Prepper Pantry More Food Choices To Stockpile 2021- 8 New Must Have Food Items hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper are you still building your prepper pantry your food stockpile well I
have eight new food items that I've added to my prepper pantry long term food storage stockpile
and maybe they are foods that you'd like to think about adding ideas of foods you haven't ever seen
or tried before the first item is flour not just any flour you need organic whole wheat flour
why because if you want to make sour dough you need flour you need flour that's not
bleached if you buy all purpose flour it has they've been bleached and so the flour is not
active it's not alive anymore like it is if you get it in a whole wheat flour version my family
has been making sourdough for decades in fact we have a sourdough starter that's been in our family
for many years generations even and it goes around several of us have it and we keep it alive because
it's a living little organism within your flour and water and from your simple sourdough starter
you just need some whole wheat flour and some water and you can turn it into bread and sourdough
pancakes look at the steam if you look on the package of all-purpose flour you
can see that it says bleached and so while that's good for many many different baking
needs bleached white flour is not going to work for your sourdough here's my sourdough
he lives in the kitchen with me and he has a name we call him Doughan so maybe you'd like to start
some sour dough and it's very simple there's lots of ways to do it and lots of different recipes so
if you're interested in starting some sourdough learning to bake some simple sourdough breads
and simple sourdough pancakes get some whole wheat flour and have it part of your prepper
pantry food stockpile the next prepper pantry food item is a pouch meal these are wonderful they're
already pre-cooked meals in a pouch that's ready to heat up in the microwave and you can eat it all
you have to do is heat it up it's one serving of a full meal Saffron Road chickpea masala
is authentic it's vegan it's medium spicy it's non-gmo and it's certified gluten-free
so it's a great meal option if you have health concerns or food allergies
or ways that you choose to eat everybody doesn't want to eat spam so you have options to have some
of these Saffron Road ready-to-eat meal choices they're great if you want to add them with some
rice they can make them go even farther and you can get a substantial amount of food different
flavors and can fill you up in a jiffy Saffron Road are already cooked meals but you do heat
them in the microwave but do you have to no put ready to eat pouch meals in a pot with some hot
water and heat them up I do that in the summertime when I'm out camping I can take pouch meals like
this out to my Granny Camp which is my Alaska off-grid cabin you can heat up a pot with water
put the pouch meal in the pot and let it warm up and then you have a hot meal but if you're
in an emergency situation you can just tear Saffron Road meal open and eat it it probably
tastes better heated up but it doesn't have to be because it's completely cooked
so Saffron Road are great kind of meals to have with your emergency gear Bug Out Bag your grab and
go pouches keep them in your prepper pantry for a fast meal in a hurry the next item is Goya Sofrito
it's a Hispanic or Latin type of a tomato based flavoring it's not salsa it's a sauce that you add
in cooking if you're going to be making red beans and rice you definitely want to have some sofrito
you may not always have the fresh ingredients on hand to make your own sofrito so something
like this Goya Sofrito is great to have in your prepper pantry store it with some of your red
beans and you can have a delicious meal very easily dried fruits yes but this one is mango
I have not been able to find canned mango anywhere and I like to prepare mango with some black beans
in a recipe that I have so I picked up a pack of dried mango these pouches of dried mango will
last several years in your prepper pantry so don't just think of dried fruit as just raisins
remember that it comes in all kinds of varieties you can find raisins craisins apricots
bananas there's all kinds of different dried fruits look for variety it's a good way to have
the fruits and vegetables that you want in your prepper pantry if you can't find the exact foods
that you're looking for look for a way that you can find it so that you can add it to the recipes
that you want to make another easy grab-and-go meal are these little quinoa and artichoke cups
by Kitchen and Love it's called quinoa quick cup with artichoke and roasted pepper Quinoa Quick
Cups one serving you can see it has two cups the artichokes are on the top the quinoa is in the
bottom and nestled in between there's a little tiny foldable spoon this is completely prepared
this is a great grab-and-go already cooked meal tear open the two bowls pour them together stir
it up and you have an easy nutritious meal Quinoa Quick Cups actually a product of Peru if you were
ever wanting to bake and you didn't have eggs look for the Bob's Red Mill egg replacer Bob's Red Mill
is an Oregon company and it's in the Portland area and they even have next to their mill a
little restaurant so if you're ever in Oregon in the Portland area look for the Bob's Red Mill
they have wonderful products they're all natural and delicious and the egg replacer is terrific
each bag of egg replacer is the equivalent of 34 eggs in your baking this isn't powdered eggs
this doesn't include any eggs and you can't use it like scramble it up to make an egg it isn't like
that this is for baking it's an egg replacer for when you want to make baked goods if you look on
the back it tells you you replace one whole egg with one tablespoon of the egg replacer and two
tablespoons of water you mix it well let it sit for a minute to thicken and then it's ready to go
into your recipe ingredients actually include potato starch tapioca flour baking soda and
psyllium husk fiber it's non-gmo gluten free and can last in your pantry for several years
maybe you've heard of Hoosier Hill Farms I have looked for months to try to find some of these
products and I finally was able to find the heavy cream powder and sour cream powder
this is a great way to have dairy products in your pantry because a lot of the milk substitutes that
we find don't actually work as well in our recipes but these are great to have on hand because then
you can still make things like beef stroganoff things that require cream I forget what it was
my daughter was making something yesterday and she said I've been trying to figure out
how to have some cream in my pantry rather than just in my refrigerator and one of the products
that I always keep on hand is the Media Crema which is a canned table cream by Nestle but
sometimes you can't find that I know you can find it in the lower 48 at the Dollar Tree for one
dollar but in Alaska when I've searched for the Media Crema sometimes it's nearly three dollars
for the little can so having another option for having cream on hand is a great thing to have
in your prepper pantry long term food storage stockpile hoosier hill farms cream gives you a
way to add variety whether you're making soups stews or whatever it is that you want to add
a bit of a flavor of cream the Hoosier Hill Farm products are from Indiana so these are
the new items that I've added to my prepper pantry long-term food storage stockpile that I
thought I would share with you in case they're products that you're interested in looking for
and trying if you have any comments or suggestions on how to use these foods or other foods that
maybe most of us are not aware of let us know in the comments so that we can learn from each other
how to have the variety and the peace of mind knowing that we have plenty of food put away
for our family so that we'll be able to make the best of whatever comes our way if you enjoyed my
