If anyone and their family eats paleo or primal style and also is storing things long term, what have you decided would be prudent to store? Please please ping me to your suggestions.
We are moving so I won’t attempt this til after the move.
Here’s what I was thinking of putting away.
MSG-free (hard to find but I think I’ve found one) grass fed beef jerky (I react terribly to MSG)
White rice (I hear Lindbergs rice is arsenic free)
Dried fruits
Peanut butter
Grass fed non isolate whey protein powder
Maybe almonds but they don’t store for long...
What else? What else is still paleo/primal but good for long storage?
We eat all those things above, so I would buy a lot, then use it and restock as I go.
I’ve cracked open from the shell almonds that I picked more than 8 years ago.
I ate them.
Guess what?
they taste like almonds...
;-)
It is certainly important to be aware of shelf life spans, etc. But think about it.
If SHTF, then looking out two years or so, if by that time we are not growing/farming/hunting for 95 percent of what we eat, then plainly put, we are dead.
So I see food storage as part of a transitional plan, not a long term guarantee.
Every year I save seeds from my garden and literally have pounds of them now. I know they are fertile and I know they came from plants that grew well in my location. That’s all I need to know.
