to eat your vegetables and nothing could be more important
during crisis. Vegtables will provide your family with antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals.

canned, dehydrated and freeze dried. These are the survival foods
with a long shelf life, and in that order. Canned foods will last 2-3

Veggies in the Prepper's Pantry
Meal planning is a survival skill! As the family dietitian your goal
is to ensure the emergency meals you prepare will have the
essential nutrients and fiber to sustain you for a long term
emergency.

It's time to add more vegetables to your prepper's pantry.

Canned vegetables. You'll find canned vegetables at
significant savings at the dollar stores. Another good way to
stock up on canned veggies is at Costco or when they go on
sale at your favorite grocery store. Remember to rotate your
vegetables and only store what you eat. Look for canned
tomato paste and stewed tomatoes if you want Italian food
storage.

Dehydrated vegetables. Dehydrated vegetables have a long
shelf life, though not as long as freeze dried vegetables.

dried vegetable soup mix that yields 96 cups of soup when
reconstituted. Dehydrated vegetables maintain their high
nutritive value with less nutrients lost.

Freeze dried vegetables. Freeze dried vegetables provide
the answer to your long term food storage needs. Freeze
dried vegetables have up to a 25-30 year shelf life. One of
the best kinds of freeze dried veggies to store is broccoli
florets because they are ideal for adding to your pasta
dishes,
