In our uncertain times it is prudent to be prepared for emergency. One
of the most important aspects of surviving during natural or man-made
crisis is selection of highly nutritious and easy to store food. There
are many books about emergency food, storage and personal preparedness
which cover topics from exactly how to design a food storage program
tailored for your particular family to growing and preserving food,
storing fuel, alternate energy, emergency evacuation kits, medical and
dental, surviving biological, chemical and nuclear terrorism,
communications, selection of firearms and other survival tools, and
preparing for earthquakes.
This article describes one of the less known foods which should be on
your list of emergency foods.
