Do you have food storage in case of emergency? If so, what things do you store? I'm interested in hearing about foods with almost indefinite storage (eg dried legumes, grains, sugar, etc). What do you store, and how would/do you use it, when you need to live off your food storage? I'm hoping to develop a year's supply of food storage for my family, so the food needs to have a pretty long shelf life. Thanks bocamom. Great ideas! :-) I'm pretty limited in the foods I can buy, as my family are allergic/sensitive to canned meat/fish, tomatoes, onion, spices, honey and other. So far, I have on my list: carob powder (very nutritious, long storage) milk powder white sugar flour dried lentils, beans, chickpeas/garbanzos pasta white rice We can eat cashews (no other nuts) but they have to be raw, and I suspect that they do not store well. I need foods with indefinite storage because my kids won't eat storable foods... unless they are starving. Our diet is very limited to fresh stuff, plus what I have listed. LDS are taught to have and live from a year's supply of food storage (keep rotating). It can guard against things such as loss of employment, economic disaster (eg like the Great Depression) or serve as emergency food for the whole neighborhood in case of a local disaster, eg like New Orleans.
