years.

good reason. Butter is loaded with Vitamin A, packed with healthy

#7: Freeze dried beef #10 cans
Meat is the number one prepper protein to stockpile! It's the most
requested item at the food banks and it's the most expensive
item in war or during an economic depression.

You won't be asking "Where's the beef?" if you're lucky enough to
have the ground beef on hand in an emergency. Freeze dried
ground beef is an excellent source of protein that can be used
creatively when making your favorite recipes from beef tacos,
chili, or sloppy Joes to casseroles, burritos, meat pies, stews,
soups and much more. One #10 can yields about 12 cups of
ground beef for your favorite hamburger dishes. Pair the mac and
cheese with some freeze dried ground beef and you have a
cheeseburger pasta! Add some chili powder and you can make
your own chili mac.

Freeze-drying process retains more of the food's original shape,
color, flavor, and nutrition than other methods of drying. Freeze
dried ground beef dehydrates quickly. It's inexpensive for the
amount of beef you get. Mix 1 cup of Freeze-Dried Ground Beef to
2 cups of hot water. Let sit 5 minutes and drain off excess liquid.
This makes freeze dried cooked ground beef a good lightweight
backpacking food. Consider repackaging it for your bugout bag
meals by using a food saver.

When compared to freeze dried chicken, you'll find freeze dried
ground beef is a much better deal with 22 servings and 220
calories per serving in a typical can. Beef has a total protein of

#8: Freeze-dried sausage crumbles #10 can.
You might start to notice a pattern that meat is among the best
protein sources you can have as a prepper, which is why we
added freeze-dried sausage crumbles to our list of the best #10
cans of food for your storage. Most preppers don't even know that
it's available.

The humble and sturdy pea is packed with protein and can be an
accompaniment to almost any emergency meal as a side dish or
added directly to the dish. Peas are a must have for casseroles,
such as Turkey Tetrazini.

An important reason to stockpile peas in your preps is that oeas
have a Glycemic Index rank of 22 which is low. While they have
carbohydrates, they also contain lots of fiber and protein to help
slow digestion and this helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

From just an ounce of freeze dried peas, like the ones from
Augason Farms pictured right, you'll get 11% of the recommended
daily dietary fiber along with 8% Vitamin A, plus 10% iron and
2% calcium. One cup of peas gives you a whopping 58 mgs of
Vitamin C, but the real surprise is that you'll get 7.9 grams, or
about 16% of your daily protein from a cup of peas. That will give
you some variety over the beans in your stockpiles.

One of the most popular ways to use freeze dried peas is for
snacking on them! Freeze dried vegetables like peas and corn
make tasty and nutritious snacks right out of the can. Snacking
on freeze dried peas is a great way to get some extra veggies
into your diet. Kids love these little green balls! They're slightly
sweet and crunchy eating them straight from the container, and
don't have that mushy texture of canned and they're much tastier
than canned peas! It's a fun toddler finger food that will start
your kids on a good eating habits.

Another reason why freeze dried peas in a #10 can is good to
stockpile is because peas can be very expensive in a down-turned
economy.

#10: Freeze-dried Cheese.
You be shocked that the taste of freeze dried cheese is delicious
and so close to the taste of fresh grated cheese! Using freeze
dried cheese is super easy. Just hydrate and drain.

One way to use freeze dried cheese for your everyday needs is to
allow some to hydrate in the refrigerator for a couple days so it's
ready for short term future uses like after school bagel pizza
snacks for the kids or a weekend baking project, but you can also
snack on freeze dried cheese straight from the can.

Freeze dried cheese makes it easy for you add it your favorite
weekly meals or emergency dehydrated foods no matter where
you are—at home, while camping or hiking. When reconstituted,
this delicious freeze dried food melts just like regular cheese, so
you can enjoy it on all your favorite meals. Shelf life up to 30
years based on storage conditions.

Imagine the usefulness of always having cheese on hand whether
it's for an emergency or for everyday. Think tacos with freeze
dried ground beef, can of refried beans, freeze dried onions and
top with this yummy freeze dried cheese. You might add fresh
tomatoes or lettuce from your garden. Cheese powder will be
ideal for topping pizza, pastas, nachos, spreads, soups, dipping
sauces, casseroles, and more. Whether your making a potato
casserole, macaroni and cheese, or broccoli and cheese, powdered
cheese sauce is your number one source for all cheesy recipes.

Freeze-dried cheese is an overlooked canned in the prepper's
pantry. You'll find so many uses for cheese in your long-term
larder. Ideal for casseroles and pasta sauces, you'll find everyday
uses for freeze dried cheese, such as grilled cheese sandwiches.

Freeze dried cheese has about a five-year shelf life, and once you

it's good to buy and use your freeze dried cheese.

do with them. There's no limit to your creativity! With a #10 can
try building a rocket stove, or making tin-can ice-cream. If you
