Oatmeal for Food Storage

Oatmeal for Emergencies

One of the least perishable items in your grocery store, oatmeal can be a major healthy staple in your emergency food supply. When times get tough, oatmeal can easily be mixed with water, and many find that it can also be easily combined with anything from brown sugar to freeze-dried strawberries.

Oatmeal is constantly pushed as a way to a healthy heart. With plenty of fiber, it can aid in digestion, and it is still relatively low in calories. Oatmeal can be used for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, especially in an emergency, and in terms of survival kits, it is also one of your lighter options to carry around.

Natural disaster food should definitely include a variety of foods that require little to no actual preparation. Oatmeal meets this standard. Emergency or not, we offer oatmeal in bulk, and with how long it lasts, you can use it for months to come. In everyday life, you can easily combine it with fresh fruit and other foods that you like.

However, if you are looking for a more ready option, we also offer a maple brown sugar mix that will still stay good as well as breakfast packs that combine a number of different breakfast options such as eggs, bacon, oatmeal, and cereals. It’s just a matter of which breakfast item you want and how often you would like to incorporate oatmeal into your survival kits and preparation.

Oatmeal is one of the most diverse foods you can find, and it can easily be integrated into everyday life. That way, when you need it in an emergency, it’s already normal and stabilizing.

We would recommend a diverse and wide variety of foods in your food storage including non-perishable items (whether canned or those that simply keep well) as well as dehydrated and freeze dried fruits and meats.
