What Foods Could Stay In Your Bunker For A Long Time (16 pics)
Pure Alcohol – Forever
1
Would you even want to survive if liquor wasn’t available? Luckily most alcohol will last longer than you as long as it’s not opened.
Just stay away from flavored or cream based liquors, and don’t forget to properly store your drinks.
Uncooked Rice – 30 Years
2
Personally, I could end the list here. Liquor and rice is all I really need.
While fast cook rice or microwavable rice can last up to 5 years, plain and simple uncooked white rice can last 30 years if kept in an airtight container.
Powdered Milk – 25+ Years
3
Powdered Milk has a “best by” date, but that’s not necessarily an expiration date. Some survivalist stores will sell powdered milk with a shelf-life of 25+ years.
Honey – Forever
4
Because it’s made of sugar, and it’s also naturally low moisture, it’s very difficult for bacteria to affect honey.
The modern expiration date of honey usually refers to when it will start crystallizing, which is a regular process of honey that doesn’t make it inedible. You can make the crystals return to their former state by heating up the honey.
Bouillon Cubes – 1 Year Past Expiration
5
You’re going to have to ration these foods out and somedays maybe you don’t get to eat. So save up those Bouillon Cubes and have a nice bowl of flavored water for dinner.
Energy Bars – Basically Forever
6
Those nature valley bars won’t go bad on you, and you’ll stay busy trying to clean up all those damn crumbs.
Instant Coffee – Pretty Much Forever
7
Instant coffee packets stored in the freezer will last pretty much forever. Packets stored in the pantry will still last between two to 20 years…There is no sugar, fat, wheat, or moisture of any kind inside this type of product.
Candy – 1 Year
8
The National Confectioners Association claims that most candies can last up to year. Hard candies, dark chocolate, jellied candies, and caramel can last the year, but candy corn, chewing gum, and milk and white chocolate should be tossed around the six to nine-month mark.
Beans – Forever
9
Dried beans and lentils can….wait that’s just a picture of Beans from Even Stevens. Let me try this again.
Beans – Forever
10
There we go. Dried beans and lentils will outlive you.
According to Utah State University’s food storage researchers, when packaged correctly, “[pinto bean] samples that had been stored up to 30 years had greater than 80% acceptance by a consumer taste panel for emergency food use.”
Pure Vanilla Extract – Forever
11
This will actually get better with age, and will add flavor to your sad apocalypse meals.
Hardtack – A Few Years
12
Hardtack is a simple bread/cracker/rock treat that was a popular Civil War ration. It’s flour, salt, and water and it doesn’t taste great, and it’s hard as a rock, but you can dip it in water or fry it in butter to help out.
Peanut Butter – 3 to 5 Years
13
Like always, as long as you store it and seal it properly, this should last you quite a long time.
It’s worth noting that even after it does expire, it is still safe to it. It will taste considerably worse, though.
Dried Meat – 1 Year
14
If you want to make your own jerky, it will last for a few months. But the store bought jerky can survive for over 12 months. And with humanity dying out, you won’t have to pay the outrageous price of jerky.
Canned Foods – 1 To 5 Years
15
According to the USDA: “High-acid canned foods (e.g. tomatoes and fruits) will keep their best quality for 12 to 18 months. Whereas, low-acid canned foods (e.g. meats and vegetables) will keep for two to five years.”
16
This wasn’t on the list, but I think it’s important to know that potato chips will only last 2-3 months after their expiration date. So you’ll want to fight for those jalapeno kettle chips right away.
