Keep Your Pantry Emergency-Ready

February, 19 2013 admin Blog

Keep Your Pantry Emergency-Ready

Modern technology is getting better at predicting natural disasters, but it’s still good to be prepared just in case. The basic rule of thumb is to have enough food for at least three days. Most nonperishable foods tend to be high in sodium but there are healthy alternatives that can sustain you as well.

There are three types of foods to keep ready in your pantry- nonperishable drinks, nonperishable foods, and foods you can make with hot water.

The human body can go without food for a significant amount of time, but water is second to oxygen in what is essential for survival.

There are a variety of nonperishable drinks that can keep you hydrated during an emergency:

  • Bottled Water
  • Individual packs of juice
  • Milks that are shelf stable such as:
    • Almond Milk, Rice Milk, Soy Milk, Hemp Milk, etc.

Nonperishable foods are what will provide you with the nutrition you need. Most of these are food staples so you might already have them in your pantry, but if not, they’re also good to buy in bulk:

  • Dried Fruits
  • Nuts
  • Cereal and Crackers
  • Candy/Chocolate and Fruit Snacks
  • Canned Fruits and Vegetables
  • Canned Sardines and Tuna

Last but not least, foods that you can make with hot water last for a considerable amount of time. Keep these in mind when you’re stocking up for an emergency:

  • Tea, Instant Coffee, Hot Chocolate
  • Oatmeal
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Instant Noodles
  • Soup Packets
