![]() ![]() If you are not prepping for more than super long term, say you only want a larger pantry, to cover a year or so. When you factor in the price of the Mylar bags and the oxygen absorbers then cans don’t seem as expensive. Don’t get fought up in all the fancy stuff, get the basics to start. Also some of these sites have really increased their their prices, so there is that. Lots of companies popping up now that may or may not have quality food. ![]() Look to see how long they have been in business. Other sites are rainy day foods, The ready store and Provident pantry. ![]() I believe they recommend 5 or 7 years, where as rice beans pasta and potatoes will keep up to 30, if stored at a good temp. Make sure you look at the recommended storage dates, flour will go rancid after a while. The cheapest site you will find is the Mormon pantry store. They cost a little more but you have the peace of mind that the food will not be spoiled when you need it. I would recommend getting some of the premade cans. If your O2 absorber isn’t the right size it the food will not keep. If air gets in through an unseen hole your food will not keep.

Yes, mylar bags sealed with a heat sealer of some sort with an oxygen absorber in the bag to the proper size of the bag and it’s contents.

I tried green beans with a best by in 2017 this year and threw them out. Not plastic.Īlso regarding canned goods, yes many are good years after the Best Buy date, but will taste like bad farts. For dry goods it means in mylar or metal with oxygen absorbers. When stating things last indefinitely, it would be nice if “properly stored”, is defined for novices. The info on food storage is solid though. There is also a web site that has a ton of good info, but also has a lot of politicos views, which turn a lot of people off. They often have informative articles, on how to store things yourself. I would highly suggest anyone wanting to store long term food study web sites that sell long term food. Ramen does not last forever, it has a higher fat content that regular dry pasta, if I’m not mistaken. There are a couple things on the list that are questionable.
