What kinds of food should I save for an emergency?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Non-perishables. Anything in a sealed aluminum can. Corn, beans, spinach, etc. They can be heated inside the can using a fire, or eaten cold. Also, crackers and dry snack foods tend to work well, too. They really don’t get stale/bad very easily. And their starch is good for energy. A giant bag of rice is one possible option, but unless its sealed well, bugs can get into it, and you don’t want that. And obviously, water. One gallon per person per day. If you have four people in your home, eight gallons is enough for two days. One option is to also have flavored powder packets, as well. Like Splenda or Minute Maid powder pouches to go. That’s if you want some non-sugary fruit juice to drink. But mainly, Non-perishable canned foods are your best option. A minimum of three a day per person. And a can-opener, of course.
