- SHELF LIFE IS A MYTH: Avoid companies that tell you their food life has a shelf life of 30 years. First of all, no company has ever done a study to test shelf life because, well it would take 30 years to set inventory aside and it is just not practical. Buy food that has ingredients that you can pronounce, that is prepared properly and that is packaged in a thick poly-mylar package
- YOUR FOOD WILL ONLY LAST AS LONG AS ITS WEAKEST INGREDIENT: If you can't pronounce the name of the ingredients in your food, you probably don't want to eat them. The other thing to avoid is food with canola oil or vegetable oil because it has a shelf life of only 18-24 months. Look for tropical oils in your food because they have a shelf life of 12-15 years.
- AVOID MEAT SUBSTITUTES: If you are male, you should avoid Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP). TVP is a soy-based meat substitute found in many food storage recipes. Every company in the industry uses it. Every company but Eden Valley Farms. The problem is that soy messes with male chemistry. It elevates estrogen levels and in large quantities can lead to health problems in men. In documented extreme cases, high levels of soy consumption (from things like soy milk) can lead to breast cancer in men. You probably don't want that. If you want to eat meat with your food storage (and who doesn't) you're better off hunting, or, more realistically, you're better off bottling your own meat. You can do this at home. Youtube has plenty of how-to videos.
- LOOK FOR NITROGEN FLUSHING:There are three major manufacturers in this industry, and there are a few smaller independent manufacturers like Eden Valley Farms. But what that means is that most of the other companies you've heard of are repackaging and rebranding someone else's food. Quality control suffers, and margins go up. Of all the companies in this industry, only a few flush their products with nitrogen before sealing and packaging them; Eden Valley Farms is one of those companies. Some companies claim to flush their food, but they do not nitrogen flush all of their food, only some of it. Nitrogen flushing is essential to the long-term quality and "freshness" of your food for one simple logical reason. Nitrogen is denser than and therefore dispels oxygen. Bacteria needs oxygen to grow and survive. If there is no oxygen, there can be no bacteria. The industry standard for oxygen content is about 5%. (For reference, at sea-level, the atmosphere is 21% oxygen.) It's not a 100% solution. In fact, it's more like 3-4% solution; nitrogen flushing is effective at eliminating all oxygen with allowance for a 3-4% margin or error or residual content. But why take a chance with oxygen absorbers? You know what absorbs lots of oxygen? Bacteria. Brandon found that out the hard way. Make sure your food is nitrogen flushed.
- AVOID NUMBER 10 CANS: They're bulky, they're very uncomfortable to carry in a backpack in an emergency, and they're not truly resealable. Oh, and they rust. Let's not forget that. Plus, what do you do when your can opener is lost or breaks? Yes there still are ways to open a can without a real can opener, but scraping cans on concrete is a lot of work and you might severe a tendon opening a can with a knife. In a grid-down scenario, that's nightmare. Avoid number 10 cans. Look for heavy-duty, poly-mylar, resealable (and nitrogen-flushed) pouches. I'm not talking about cheap gold foil like some shady companies use. The lined, industrial-grade, poly-mylar pouches we use at Eden Valley Farms can be beaten up, thrown in a lake, resealed, and generally neglected but they'll still protect your food. If the basement floods, they'll even rise to the surface, making collection a game of sorts; bobbing for food, as it were.
