Dry grains like rice and oats/flour should be as whole as possible, to give the most nutrients. Unopened yeast will keep if stored in a cooler spots.
Sourkraut keeps very well, and retains much of the nutrients of the cabbage. On topic: Sigsauerkraut is even better. Honey will keep forever, and has more health benefit than sugar. Iodized salt is very important for flavoring and preserving meat (as well as a source of iodine). You'll need a fair amount. Vitamins. Dry seaweed will never go bad, and is also full of nutrients. Team it with some dry miso soup mix as a source of soy. Common garden seeds like for tomato plants and greenbeans would be a good idea. |
