Stored in 5 gallon buckets & mylar. So far I have wheat, yeast, beans, rice, sugar.
What other food items will work well in this type of storage scheme? Thanks in advance. |

Dried peas and lentils (unless you covered them under "beans"), dried milk, instant potato flakes. I'd also put up baking powder and baking soda, but not necessarily five gallons worth. damn. knew I was forgetting something... didnt want to get up and go look.

| if you get tired of rice - lots of people do not like rice - dehydrate your own grown sliced or cubed potatoes or buy em at store on sale an have some fun peeling them or not peeling them while you are slicing or cubing them soak em in a little lemon juice so they stay white. dry em as hard as a rock and mylar and O2 pack em or vac pack them with O2 absorbers they shouild store for a loooooong time |

Any reason you couldn't store couscous long term (general question, not to OP)? It makes a nice break from rice and is pretty cheap if you buy in big bags from the International vendors. no reason that I can see not too. I would take it out of the orginal packaging and store in mylar with o2 absorbers but I dont see any reason that wouldnt work. I take it alot on backpacking trips so it packs and travels well. J- |

Oats, honey. Honey can just be left in the jar, it's the only food with an indefinite shelf life. Just don't put it in an area with lots of temperature fluctuation like over your stove, I think that makes it crystallize. wheat berries recovered from the pyramids after a couple thousand years sprouted. Spam's(the real stuff not the cheap imitation) shelf life is listed as indefinite by the manufacturer. |
