Image source: popsugar.com
Preparing for a crisis that includes a shortage of food takes work. You know your food storage should include a variety of foods. And that they should be rotated. But did you know that there are foods that actually could outlive you? If not, read on.
Here are 7 foods that will last at least 30 years:
1. Sugar. Stored in air-tight containers, sugar can last more 30 years. But not all sugars last as long. If you’re including sugar in your food storage, it’s best to store the white refined crystalline sugar.
Of course, sugar has the potential of hardening. Storing it in no more than 5-gallon airtight containers is advised. If it hardens, you’ll only have to deal with a 5-gallon amount. If you store it in a 50-gallon container, you may have a nightmare on your hands.
In general, sugar should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place. A few tips in storing sugar includes:
a) Don’t store with oxygen absorbers, as they give off heat that can cause the sugar to harden.
b) Store sugar with rice. It will help keep it moisture-free
c) Sugar can absorb the odor of the foods around it.
