Egg Shortages Egg Substitutions Creative Ways With Prepper Pantry what to use in place of egg hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper is it true there's an egg shortage absolutely there are multiple
reasons why we're facing shortages of eggs and why we might also face them in the future
one reason we're facing egg shortages is some states are passing legislations
about how much room each egg-laying chicken must have how much space they need if your
farm doesn't allow that much space then you're not allowed to sell eggs to that state
another reason for egg shortages Israel has recently found a new variation of a bird flu
and they've been culling all of their chickens this bird flu pathogen has also been found in
some of the wild cranes since they're culling all of their egg-laying chickens they are forced to
import all of the eggs into Israel well those all have to come from other places in the world
if supply decreases while demand stays the same then prices are going to go up and there's going
to be shortages but never fear there are many things you can have in your prepper pantry
that you can use for eggs first of all perhaps you have some of the powdered eggs that are sold in
the number 10 can i have some from Augason Farms food storage put away in my 30-year food storage
and I can always open Augason Farms powdered eggs i know that you can find Augason Farms
as whole eggs or scrambled eggs and i always prefer to buy Augason Farms powdered eggs as whole
eggs then they're more useful when you want to use them in a recipe because Augason Farms scrambled
eggs have other ingredients and if you want to use it to bake a cake or something
then whatever's in the scrambled eggs is going to add those ingredients so i prefer to stockpile
the Augason Farms whole eggs in the number 10 cans another item is the Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer
Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer is fantastic it is gluten-free vegan and it has the equivalent of 34
eggs you can use Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer for all of your baking needs for cookies cakes muffins
quick breads brownies pancakes and more Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer is non-gmo comes in a resealable
package and it's a product of Oregon if you read on the back Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer it
tells you to replace one whole egg combine one tablespoon egg replacer with two tablespoons of
water mix it well and let it sit for one minute to thicken it also has directions on the back for
how to replace egg whites is Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer something you can whip up and put on your
breakfast plate in place of an egg probably not but if you want to use it in baking then this is
some fantastic stuff i highly recommend the Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer and you can pick it up for
around four dollars for 38 eggs and it lasts for many years in your prepper pantry just like any
other food store it cool and dry for it to last the longest what if you don't have powdered eggs
or egg replacer we'll look in your pantry maybe you have applesauce you can use one quarter cup of
applesauce in place of each egg substitute for egg you can also use a quarter cup of mashed banana
i store extra bananas in the freezer and then when i want to make banana bread i pop them
in the microwave for about a minute scoop them out and use them you could use that same method
to use a banana for an egg replacement substitute three tablespoons of creamy nut butter can also
be used substitute for an egg and maybe in your prepper pantry stockpile you even have some peanut
butter powder PB2 you could try rehydrating peanut butter powder and try experimenting with that as
well flaxseed and chia seeds can also be used as an egg replacer substitute to use flaxseed
or chia seed mix one tablespoon of your seeds plus three tablespoons of water and whisk it well
reach into your pantry for a can of garbanzo beans you can open it up drain the liquid and you have
aquafaba the water from a can of chickpeas is called aquafaba and you can use three tablespoons
in place of an egg do you remember mixing baking soda and vinegar you can mix one teaspoon of
baking soda with one tablespoon of vinegar and you're going to get that foamy sensation that
can be used in place of an egg are these going to be exactly the same or work in every recipe no but
if you don't have eggs you can try experimenting with some of these prepper pantry food items to
help find ways that you can have the eggs that you need something heavier like fruit or peanut butter
aren't going to work well in say a fluffy recipe but they might work in brownies or quick breads
you just need to experiment and find what works for you this is also a good time to add just add
water mixes into your prepper pantry you can find Betty Crocker muffin mixes cookie mixes Krusteaz
Dollar Tree pancake mixes that you just need to add water many of them require milk and eggs and
they're not as useful in your prepper pantry food stockpile you want to try to find mixes where you
only need to add water and they can be very useful look for pancake mixes muffin mixes cookie mixes
and even pizza crust mixes another option is to choose mixes that require fewer eggs
a brownie mix that takes one egg compared to a cake mix it takes three eggs and then if
you can't have all of the eggs that you want then you can still make a nice dessert for your family
using fewer of the eggs that are harder to find it takes one chicken to supply enough eggs for
one person for an entire year think about the number of chickens that have been culled so not
only are we losing egg laying chickens but we're also losing chickens if you enjoy eating chicken
this also might be a good time to look over your canned chickens and make sure that you have enough
to see you through if suddenly chickens are not available either the whole idea
of prepping is we don't know what's coming and we try to be prepared for whatever comes our way
so having a wide variety of foods in your pepper pantry helps you be creative and find ways to feed
your family and have the things you need no matter what the challenges are everybody faces challenges
we just never know what's around the corner but as the world becomes more complicated and the
pandemic continues to rage it's a good idea to make sure that you're adding a little bit
to your stockpile every time you go to the store the more you have on hand the more ways you know
how to use it the better off you are in the long run if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll share
