you can have a finger scoop of Nutella Nutella fair in case of a natural disaster economic
crisis or zombie apocalypse here are the 10 best foods to stockpile during food shortages peanut
butter I'm a coconut and I'm a nut nut they say that nothing goes together like peanut butter
and jelly well they should start saying that nothing goes together quite like peanut butter
and survival whether you like it creamy or crunchy you should know that peanut butter is a fantastic
source of protein and healthy fats it's especially important for its protein content if you don't eat
meat all nuts are very high in protein and nuts are very good for you but back to peanut butter
specifically unless the container says otherwise peanut butter doesn't need to be refrigerated
after it's opened and it can be kept at room temperature almost indefinitely how many times
have I asked you to put the lid back on the peanut butter jar while it's most famous as a sandwich
spread peanut butter can also be used in cooking and baking to make peanut butter cookies and other
treats and if you happen to be allergic to peanuts there are alternatives such as almond butter
Walnut butter and other nut Butters the famous Jif peanut butter slogan is choosy moms choose GIF but
it should be choosy Preppers choose peanut butter sausages sausages sausages and more sausages
yes sausages no not like the sausage dogs or dachshunds but like the actual food though having
a dog as a companion is always a good idea whether it be bratwurst kielbasa or even hot dogs sausages
of all types are a great food to stockpile in the event of a food shortage or crisis they provide a
good source of protein and other nutrients and can last for a long time thanks to their preservatives
and salt sausages can also be filled with spices and other fillings to make them taste better any
type of ground meat with any type of garnish that can fit in there will work sausages are
very versatile in the number of ways you can cook them up you can Grill them boil them fry them or
toast them over a campfire like a scout at camp and once you're done cooking them you can eat
them in a bun like a hot dog cut up on a plate or just Chow Down on them like a caveman let's put
all the ketchup thank you for asking Rosa it's for my hot dog just remember to keep them refrigerated
or else the smell will be very very bad and ruin the rest of your emergency supplies the last thing
you want in your emergency provision pantry is for the stench of spoiled sausage to stink up
the place canned fish look at this can of tuna star kiss Jerry most tuna don't make their cut
canned fish is certainly not the flashiest or most luxurious food in the world but foods like canned
tuna and canned salmon as well as other canned fish and seafood last a very long time according
to the USDA they can last over two years in the pantry vacuum packed pouches don't last quite as
long but they still last a hearty six months which should be more than long enough to tide you over
get it tide ocean okay moving on canned tuna can be used for meals like tuna salad or tuna melts
or can just be eaten by itself for a filling and nutritious if not particularly exciting meal bring
me the dirtiest greasiest tuna melt you got canned salmon can be used in much the same way but it has
additional use something that tuna can't do canned or ground salmon can also be used to make a nice
delicious salmon burger one very basic way to make a canned tuna more exciting is to mix it with a
dollop of mayonnaise but the sky is the limit when it comes to cooking with canned fish just remember
to have a can opener on you cooking the fish while it's inside the can is not advisable you
definitely don't want to have it boil and explode Hot Fish juice all over you first time here well
what are you waiting for take a quick second to hit that subscribe button thanks so much dried
noodles oh look noodles oh babe babe don't touch this you shouldn't have to strain your noodle to
know that noodles are a fantastic choice of food to stockpile whether they be Eastern or Western
noodles on the western side dried pasta is an incredibly hearty food that can last indefinitely
if stored properly and can be easily boiled and cooked in order to create all manner of delicious
Italian Delights huh Peter what are you doing speaking Italian spaghetti penne the list goes
on any of the almost endless types of pasta is a perfect choice it's very hard to go wrong with
pasta like this just remember not to break the spaghetti before cooking unless you want to anger
every person in Italy they will find out and they will get mad in addition to Italian noodles you
should also consider stockpiling Asian noodles you can buy egg noodles Chow Mein noodles and several
other options of noodles in bulk at pretty much any Asian grocery store often for cheap instant
Ramen especially is another good item to keep in your emergency storage box have you stock
up on Ramen you'll feel like you're back in your college dorm room days it's cheaper than cheap and
it comes with its own flavorings just remember that the seasonings are incredibly high in salt
use them with caution these packets May taste good and add flavor to an otherwise Bland broth
but they're really bad for you you maybe only use half the pack or even less a little goes a
long way when it comes to seasonings cereals this isn't our normal cereal well because this is the
store brand but it's delicious there's a famous saying that breakfast is the most important meal
of the day and breakfast cereal is one of the most common ways to enjoy that so-called most important
meal but cereals of all types are a great food for any time of day and any time in your life to start
breakfast cereals can be healthy non-perishable sources of fiber and other vital nutrients cereals
that are on the healthier side such as bran flakes or Cheerios will give you these nutrients
in spades on the other hand if you opt for these sugary sweet kinds of cereals that kids love like
Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms they can provide lots of energy as well if nothing else in addition
to the familiar loose Flakes and pieces you put in milk cereals can come in other forms like granola
bars or Power Bars these are great for a filling and healthy snack and provide plenty of good
carbohydrates I brought these nutrition bricks in addition another great cereal grain to stockpile
is dried oats you should keep in mind that oats can go stale if not sealed properly but if you're
able to keep them sealed and out of the open air they can be made into porridge and age-old
breakfast food that is sustained families for hundreds if not thousands of years crackers these
crackers need more salt for this entry we're going to be Putting on the Ritz crackers are fantastic
they're definitely one of the most underrated hearty Foods in the world from Saltines to graham
crackers and everything in between crackers of all kinds are a fantastic food item to stockpile
and they have a multitude of culinary uses it is the best crackers are a great snack and of course
go great with soup put some spreads or small toppings on them and have makeshift canapes or
hors d'oeuvres they can act as a replacement for bread in a pinch and they don't go stale or get
moldy because they're usually already stale whole wheat crackers tend to have a shorter shelf life
but they are healthier and more filling as they have more fiber make sure to keep your crackers
away from moisture and out of human environments in order to keep them crispy and fresh it's never
ever fun to eat a cracker that doesn't have a satisfying crunchy crack when you bite into it
they're called crackers for a reason if they were called chewers that wouldn't be appetizing at all
no one would want to eat a chewer cooking oil we need more petroleum oil you might think that
this is a bit of a bizarre entry on the list and well to be honest it kind of is cooking oil is not
exactly a food per se you definitely don't want to drink it straight from the bottle but despite
that cooking oil is still an invaluable item for frying and is a key ingredient to making so many
delicious dishes even in a crisis olive oil is one of the most commonly used cooking oils especially
in Mediterranean cooking and a well-kept bottle of it can last for about a year it comes in those
green bottles in order to block out light and you should help it in that task by keeping it in a
dark area sunlight can make it spoil it's also one of the healthiest oils for you especially compared
to other fats like corn oil or lard however other oils like coconut oil can last for longer you
don't need to freeze or cool it cooking oil can just stay on your shelf in its container when
you're cooking with large amounts of oil like in a deep fryer remember to never ever pour excess oil
down your sink because it will wreck your plumbing but if you want to save money and the oil you can
pour it back into the bottle and use it again some folks say that reusing the oil like this actually
improves the flavor of deep fried foods and of course if you're in a food shortage you should
try to get the most out of everything that you can there's no sense in wasting perfectly good cooking
oil after using it just once it makes sense doesn't it remember the three R's of reduce reuse
and recycle can apply to food and cooking and as well honey this is the land of milk and honey you
have to wonder there must be a food shortage in the Hundred Acre Wood because Winnie the Pooh's
got a honey stock pile that is the Envy of any prepper the sweet honey loving bear has it right
on the money honey is definitely one of the best foods in the world to stockpile the Sweet Sticky
V nectar does not spoil if treated properly and it provides energy very quickly mama there's a kick
like a mule honey can be used as a sandwich spread mixed into a sauce like honey mustard and used for
cooking cooked honey is preferable to raw honey as it's less likely to have bacteria in it in
addition remember not to feed honey to babies that are less than one year old there is a risk their
young immune systems might not be able to fight off those bacteria but apart from the unlikely
event that you're a baby you can go absolutely wild with honey especially if it's wild honey from
wildflowers after all bees are extremely important to the ecosystem and you you can help save them by
buying good honey honey is so great you could say it's the bee's knees sorry just couldn't resist
rice white rice brown rice those are just some of the Rices I love when you think of rice you might
think of a boring grain that's found in sushi or in a bowl sitting there unexcitingly awesome we
just Latin for rongo rice is a staple of many of the world's Cuisines for a very good reason it's
an incredibly versatile food and is extremely cheap a large sack of rice is extremely cheap
for its weight and it can feed a family for days if you don't want to just eat plain rice
with nothing else rice acts as the basis for so many delicious meals from Cuisines all around
the globe like paella fried rice arroz con pollo risotto and the list goes on and on you really
cannot go wrong with stocking up on rice and this isn't even mentioning the Myriad different
types of rice there's the wonderfully fragrant Jasmine and basmati rice the creamy Arborio and
violone Nano that are typically used for making a nice risotto and the colorful golden rice and
bhutanese red rice among many others regardless of whether you like it creamy or clumpy fried or
boiled with toppings or alone when it comes to Rice the only limit is your imagination water
you folks have a water problem what else would be number one besides good old H2O
water is the single most important substance to sustaining human life you just can't live without
it literally it's so vital in fact that it makes up approximately 70 of your body that's almost
three quarters so of course you're going to need water and you should drink lots of it dehydration
and dying of thirst is not a fun Prospect I'm for real of course you can also cook with it and not
to mention that if you have a green thumb you can use water to feed plants to grow fresh fruits and
vegetables water is also the basis for so many sauces and soups and is contained within most
other foods like fruits vegetables and meats of course you can always get water from the
tap but in the event of a disaster where the tap water is undrinkable it always helps to have an
emergency supply of bottled water on hand it never goes bad it lasts forever it's a basic
necessity of life and it's incredibly easy to stockpile to what else could possibly be more
important to stock up on than water stay right here and tap or click another great
