For long-term food storage, canned goods are a top choice. They’re widespread, simple to store, durable, and inexpensive. With a wide variety, you can easily find foods that everyone likes and that offer good nutrition.
High-tech food storage methods are available, but canned foods from the grocery store are much easier to use. A good way to start your emergency food supply is by backstocking, or buying extra cans each time you shop. This approach helps you gradually build up a variety of emergency foods.
Smaller cans are common and ideal for incrementally adding to your emergency stock. Some key items include:
Canned Diced Tomatoes
These are a versatile, affordable staple found in every store.
Canned Corn
Corn is a flexible ingredient that’s popular with kids and adds vegetables to any meal.
Canned Green Beans
A traditional canned food choice, green beans are convenient and require little effort.
