10 Food Storage Myths Debunked

Good points in the video below regarding long-term food storage foods. The takeaways: storage conditions really do matter! Temperature is crucial (especially avoiding heat), along with how the food is stored (e.g., loose rice in a bag versus stored in a #10 can.)

Last, pay attention to myth #10 about Millennium Bars if you’re interested in food that can withstand massive temperature swings, such as food to keep in your vehicles. They’re new to me, so I can’t say from experience whether they’re as good as Datrex Rations or Mainstay Rations…

    I am always concerned with the amount of salt and fat people cook, add to food and consume. We do require some fat and some regular table salt with iodine, but we tend to go too far.

    If people stop perpetuating this stupid notion that we HAVE to add salt to everything to make food taste good then we’d be much better off. All these famous chefs use heavy cream, milk, cheese, sugar, oil, butter, salt and flour like those were the main entre.

    So if we use those things within reason and don’t live on a very restricted diet we’d all be able to use food storage methods and just rinse or soak salt preserved foods. We can also soak potatoes to reduce the starch and that water can be used for baking.

    Prepping and homesteading seem to naturally take us back to those days were less was wasted and more was reused or made use of. And prepping for special diets is not impossible.

    Extremely unhealthy ingredients in the Millenial Bars. Full of sugar, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, GMO soy and corn and probably a high amount of glyphosate just to name a few of the toxic ingredients!
    Ingredients: Sugar, Vegetable Shortening (Partially hydrogenated soybean & Cottonseed Oils), Enriched Bromated Flour Bleached (Wheat Flour, Enzymes, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Potassium Bromate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Cornstarch, Wheat Gluten, Dextrose, Desiccated Coconut, Corn Syrup, Natural Flavors, preservatives….
