UPDATE: FOOD STORAGE

UPDATE: SIXTEEN MORE FOOD STORAGE ITEMS
Sixteen organic food items you will receive along with some beneficial and valuable preparedness properties of each one - which show why they were selected for this emergency food bucket.

http://toughertimes.blogspot.com/2013/07/storage-itesms-for-emergency.html
 Soda bottles are good storage containers (freeze rice first to get rid of critters and their eggs.)






Black Beans
During any emergency time, the ability of your body to properly digest and pass food is severely hampered due to not only stress but varied food intake. The key here is how black beans can actually facilitate and maintain proper intestinal transit time thanks to the special fiber contained in the beans that produces what is known as butyric acid. In addition, the beans contain a multitude of antioxidants, folates, protein, minerals, and of course B vitamins.

Gabanzo Beans
 (brain food)
Gabanzo beans are your ally in the fight against hunger during any emergency event due to the unique way in which they can trigger the comforting feeling of fullness, usually attributed to the high fiber content and nutrient dense content. Protein, trace minerals, fatty acids, and vitamins help to also give it a powerful reputation for helping to assist in the balance of cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Pinto Beans

Another bean high in fiber and protein, which is essential for proper physical and mental function during times of stress and emergency, pinto beans are unique in that they contain not only enough iron to replenish your routinely depleting stores, but they contain manganese and copper as well.

Rolled Oats (whole) First, freezing them over-night in smaller batches, can kill any future weevil problem in all grains including whole brn. rices.

Also high in protein, fiber, and other important vitamins and minerals, rolled oats are great in emergency situations due to requiring little cooking. You can cook them or simply soak them for 20-30 minutes prior to eating.

Green Lentils

Lentils are particularly rich in magnesium and potassium - two important minerals for improved health. Magnesium is especially helpful for diabetes and cardiovascular health, while potassium is crucial for helping cells to absorb nutrients and release waste. Like rolled oats, lentils can also be soaked to eat. Soak overnight, then rinse twice daily for a few days until they sprout.

Quinoa

A South American super grain often referred to as chisaya mama, or the mother of all grains, quinoa is rich in essential minerals, phytochemicals (which act as antioxidants), and protein. What sets quinoa apart from the others, though, is the fact that it is a "complete protein". This means that it contains an ideal proportion of all 9 essential amino acids. A diet rich in whole grains like quinoa can help reduce the risk of numerous health conditions. These grains are "seeds" and grain so, use the best organic wher possible for the killing parasites out of the body. All orgainic seeds kill parasites.  The former "hulled" seeds cannot do this feat so we become allergic to grains because that part of the seed to killing a parasite.  It's only found in whole grains and is missing in white altered seeds/grains. missing.

Millet

Shown to help prevent gallstones, type 2 diabetes, and more, millet has been enjoyed for hundreds of years in both Africa and certain regions of India. Millet is rich in amino acids, B vitamins, fiber, and particularly rich in manganese, magnesium, tryptophan, and phosphorous - a mineral necessary for rebuilding cell membranes and the nervous system.

Chia Seeds (flaxseed can be used as eggs in recipes too)

Considered a superfood, Chia seeds are an excellent source of well-balance omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Additionally, chia will make you feel fuller faster and allow your body to absorb nutrients over a longer time period.

Organic Sprouted Buckwheat

Great for the cardiovascular system and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, buckwheat is an energizing, gluten-free food that is available throughout the year. It's great for cleansing and may even prevent gallstones. Like quinoa, buckwheat also harnesses all of the essential amino acids while containing many other important vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, selenium, and calcium.

Powdered Milk

Milk that is not 100% organic generally comes from cows that are extremely unhealthy - cows given antibiotics, growth hormones, and fed GMO corn feed. Cows are supposed to eat grass! What's more, non-organic milk is usually pasteurized and homogenized - destroying much of its nutritional value. Milk in this pail is 100% organic and comes from healthy, grass fed, free roaming cows. Milk in powder form extends the shelf life and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
A comment from one reader:
Don’t stock up on dairy, instant milk especially because the toxins are concentrated in it. If non-fat,then better,as toxins store in the fat. Dairy in San Diego has already been reported to have radiation.Your kids are not cattle/calfs, so no need for calf milk, (the proteins are for bigger life form use goat milk instead if need be.) More calcium frrm cauliflower leaves than equal amt of milk but u-need kale to absorb calcium. End of bio-chem lesson.

Sprout Blend

The sprout blend contains sprouts of french and red lentils; whole peas, mung beans, aduki beans, alfalfa and radish. What's great about sprouted seeds is that they are more nutritionally rich than their unsprouted counterparts.

Enerfood Superfood Green Drink, or some other kind of shake drinks in a can...watch dates... Atkin's has one that very low in sugar for diabetics.
Enerfood super green energy drink is a 100% organic and incredibly potent award winning product that is an absolute must-have. This drink is GMO-free, helps cleanse the body, and is great for turbocharging your immune system for better health.

Pancake Mix (Gluten Free) Note: I find mixes don't store long...be sure to freeze them first.

Able to make pancakes, waffles, muffins, crepes, and more, this mix is your perfect gluten-free, casein-free cooking solution. Although it works great with the powdered milk, you can blend this mix with dairy free rice or almond milk if dairy doesn't work for you. When you do gluten-free products remember, protein is missing and it is not a complete food so adjust your diet accordingly.

Miso Powder

Miso powder is a fermented vegetable stock full of vitamin b12, vitamin E, potassium, choline, fiber, other essential minerals, and provides complete protein. This traditional Japanese fermented food is prized for its nutritional value as well as its ability to prevent numerous diseases.

Cajun Spice Mix

This pail is full of beans and lentils, and these foods may need some zesty flavor! The Cajun spice mix includes black pepper, cayenne, sea salt, garlic, onion, curry, turmeric i.e. and paprika to make your emergency foods that much better. The point here is add spices to your are familiar with or to your culture for flavoring your food and adding to your health.

Pickled Veggies: Why Your Health Depends On Them

Posted By JD Lara On May 23, 2014 @ 11:30 am In Off-Grid Foods |

Even though I’m not Korean, I grew up in a home that always had kimchi around. Which is not at all common for a Filipino household. But my mother happened to have a recipe of that favorite  delicacy of our Asian neighbors, and she enjoyed preparing it during the cool months of December to February, when fresh vegetables would come down from the northern mountains of Luzon to the capital of Manila, cheap and plentiful.
I would see huge jars of Chinese white (napa) cabbage, radish, cucumber, carrot, scallions, peppers and ginger, all sliced, mixed together and soaked in brine, sitting on our kitchen counter to pickle for a few days. All the while my dad would ask during mealtimes, “Is the kimchi ready yet?” hoping he’d get a yes and be allowed to have some of that pungent yet deliciously sour, spicy relish.
I never did enjoy kimchi or any other pickled vegetable at the time. I only started eating them as an adult and would look for kimchi when eating dishes with thick sauce like chicken, pork or fish in tomato sauce. I also grew to appreciate atsara (pickled green papaya), which is often served in the Philippines alongside barbecued chicken.
Now, with the increasing popularity of probiotic foods, from kefir ^[1] to kombucha (a fizzy drink of fermented black tea), I and many others who enjoy healthy eating are becoming more and more intrigued by the benefits of pickled foods.
Pickling and Fermentation Explained
Pickling and fermentation are ancient food preservation methods used as early as 5000 years ago. They were used to make food last through the winter months, and brought along on voyages around the word, especially by sea. Captain Cook was said to have used sauerkraut to prevent scurvy among his sailors.


Simple pickling involves the use of brine or an acidic solution like vinegar. From cucumbers, the most common type of pickled vegetable, to meats and fish, pickled foods usually have a salty or a sour, tangy taste — or both. Most commercial pickles we buy in grocery stores today are processed in high heat and pressure, though, killing all live bacteria present. They’re also added with a chemical preservative called sodium benzoate (or EDTA) to make them shelf-stable. These pasteurized, mass-produced pickles are usually bereft of the nutritional value.
Fermentation pickling, however, involves “self-preservation” of foods using brine and their very own preservation agents: the naturally occurring yeasts, molds and lactobacilli — the good bacteria found on the surface of living matter. As the food ferments, an organic byproduct called lactic acid is released along with digestive enzymes, Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and immune chemicals that repel pathogenic bacteria including cancer cells. These are what make them probiotic.
Fermented foods that do not go through pasteurization retain these live microorganisms, thereby being given the nickname “living foods.” Some of the best-loved, age-old examples of traditionally fermented foods are wine, beer, cider, vinegar, yogurt, seasoned and well-aged cheeses, sourdough, chutneys and miso. In the case of alcoholic drinks, the sugars in fruits and grains are fermented using yeast rather than bacteria – juice becomes wine; wheat and barley become beer.

Pickled vegetables, when traditionally fermented in brine and lactic acid and not pasteurized, are probiotic.These are the olives, capers and sauerkraut we find at delicatessens or the refrigerated section of health food stores (not the shelf-stable variety in the middle aisles of grocery stores), or the kind that is prepared at home.
Dead Food vs. Live Food
Food writer, journalist and activist Michael Pollan says public health is obsessed with the fight against bacteria ^[3]. “But 99.9 percent are benign, and a great number of them are also in a symbiotic relationship with us. They help us, and we need them,” he told the Daily Mail.
The problem with the modern, Western diet today is that dead, heavily processed foods have overtaken live, enzyme-rich foods. Antibiotic-laden meats, cooked vegetables, pesticide-sprayed fruits, pasteurized milk, anti-nutrient-filled grains. Even water for drinking is chlorinated, fluoridated, distilled or filtered. Everything is sanitized, and all bacteria – good AND bad—are dead.
Effectively, our guts have lost the beneficial bacteria they need to properly digest and absorb the nutrients we ingest. Fermented ^[4] foods expert Sally Fallon suggests that despite ubiquitous sanitation, “Could it be that by abandoning the ancient practice of lacto-fermentation, and insisting on a diet in which everything has been pasteurized, we have compromised the health of our intestinal flora and made ourselves vulnerable to legions of pathogenic microorganisms?”


Indeed, a combination of bad diet, stress, antibiotics and other factors can create an imbalance of bad bacteria, according to acupuncture and oriental medicine expert Grace Suh Coscia. These can cause fatigue, diarrhea, inflammation, headaches and strong cravings for sweets.
This bacterial imbalance, called dysbiosis, is common in Western society thanks to diets high in sugar and meat, but low in probiotics, says the wellness website Akealife.com. Dysbiosis encourages yeasts and putrefactive bacteria to flourish, instead of fermentative beneficial bacteria. In turn, toxins build up and damage the lining of our intestinal wall. Other side-effects are inflammation of the gut and leaky gut syndrome, leading to conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Allergies, systemic candida, eczema, autoimmune disease, arthritis and even mental illness have all been linked to dysbiosis.
Lacto-fermented foods, with their active cultures of good bacteria, can populate and bring back the balance of friendly flora in our guts. Alison Clark of the British Dietetic Association told the Daily Mail that 70-80 percent of our immune cells are in the gut ^[3]. “Fermented foods stimulate bacteria that help with immunity. So for someone who suffers with lots of coughs and colds, they could help. We also know that a food that’s high in probiotics could help control the symptoms of things such as bloating, IBS and flatulence.”
Fermentation breaks down the complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats of food and turn them into simple substances that are much easier for our stomachs to digest. They also improve the digestibility of even the cooked foods that are consumed along with them.
The website Green Med Info lists over 100 articles and studies that cover more than 170 illnesses being helped by probiotics, including everything from allergies to heart disease, dental carries to obesity.
How to Get Probiotics in Your Body
One to three servings of fermented foods a day will get you on the right track to better health.  Incorporate them into your diet whenever you can. Opt for sourdough bread rather than regular bread, go for yogurt, kefir or raw milk instead of regular pasteurized, and reach for kombucha in place of soda or plain tea. Use naturally fermented condiments like lacto-fermented ketchup, salsa, non-GMO soy sauce and Thai fish sauce.
You don’t even have to buy them all the time, it’s easy enough to make them yourself.  You can prepare sauerkraut in your kitchen with just cabbage, salt and water; ketchup and salsa if you have a surplus of tomatoes and peppers and kimchi if you have an abundance of different veggies.

TRAPPING BED BUG: Nat/Geo

Most bed bug traps and tests can cost $50 or more, but this DIY trap is so simple and cheap that the researchers that came up with it want people to try it themselves. Ideally, it'll catch the earliest stages of an infestation, when the critters are easiest to eradicate. All you need is sugar, water, and yeast.

Here's how to make one, according to this NatGeo article:

Fill an old coffee cup with ten tablespoons (150 grams) of sugar, two tablespoons (30 grams) of yeast, and one and a half quarts (one and a half liters) of water, and put it in the middle of an upturned dog bowl. Voila! You have just made a bedbug detector that beats others on the market and is much cheaper.
For clarity's sake, they're suggesting you mix everything in a container

(Note: the original experiment actually used a carved out soda bottle for this, which would make more sense than a coffee cup) and then put that container in the center of the upturned/overturned/upside down dog bowl. The CO2 reaction in the large container will attract the bugs, and when they get into the upside down dog bowl, the sloped sides will trap the bed bugs like a moat so they can't get out. According to the study (linked below) they also sprayed some adhesive on the sides of the bowl just to boost the efficacy of the trap.

In any event, the yeast eats the sugar, and releases carbon dioxide, like humans do when they exhale. It's also the gas that bed bugs use to find sleeping hosts, and they're very good at tracking carbon dioxide, even across long distances.

The trap won't kill the bed bugs, but it will catch them, and Rutgers University entomologists Narinderpal Singh, Changlu Wang, and Richard Cooper all agree that it can detect signs of an infestation early enough to be quickly and swiftly dealt with. The researchers even put their test up against the leading commercial version and found that their method was much more effective at keeping trapped bed bugs inside, so your positive result doesn't escape, leaving you to think everything's fine. You can read the whole study (or at least the abstract), in the Journal of Economic Entomology (click the PDF button to get the full version of the study), or hit the National Geographic link below for more details on how the test was developed

Bed-bugs-nestling-in-unexpected-places even in new funiture, has the van that hauled the chair been cleaned?


http://www.americanownews.com/story/15514309/study-says-bed-bugs-can-carry-bacteria

UPDATE: New information from a study shows some bed bugs can carry drug resistant bacteria - even MRSA.

Five bed bugs were tested and experts say while they carry the superbug bacteria, they are unclear of how bed bugs got the bacteria.

Dr. Scott Mahan, an infectious disease specialist, says there hasn't been any association between the bed bugs transmitting the disease to humans.

Mahan also says while the bacteria is drug resistant, "They are resistant to the drugs we used maybe 10 or 15 years ago. That doesn't mean there aren't drugs that can work against them."

So the bottom line - try and avoid bed bugs if you can.

TRY: the dryer sheets under mattress to keep them away, and in suit cases as you travel.

WILD FOOD SOURCE: PRICKLEY PEAR JELLY

This will be a part of my wild food sources. I pinned this recipe on Pinterest then on my Twitter. They have excellent recipes my style of cooking and preserving. I hope you are preparing foods for bad times ahead. (PREPPERS know not to pick near the road nor where sprayed chemicals have been, and not to ruin the sight for next year. Leave the small ones and alway the roots.)This is a great site...and they are selling a book which I wish I had the money to buy.

The comments on this page are
wonderful! check them out

 Low Sugar Prickly Pear Jelly
4 cups prickly pear juice (requires around four pounds of fruit)
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 cups sugar
1 package low sugar pectin

1. Burn off the spines by holding the fruit over a burner on the stove for a few seconds.
2. Quarter the fruit and place in a pot. Cover with water (around 2 1/2 cups). Boil for ten minutes. Crush the fruit with a potato masher.

 Update 12/5/2012: I now recommend using a food mill, though the boiling technique also works. See our post on using a food mill to juice prickly pear fruit.
3. Strain through two sheets of cheesecloth placed in a colander. Gather up the corners of the cheesecloth and give the pulp a squeeze to extract as much juice as you can.
4. Pour four cups of the prickly pear juice into a pot and add a half cup of lemon juice.
5. Mix a quarter cup of the sugar and a box of low/no sugar pectin and add to the juice.
6. Bring the mixture to a full boil.
7. Add the remaining sugar and bring back to a full boil. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
8. Pour into six 8 oz jars.
9. Process in a boiling water bath for ten minutes.

Prickly pear fruit (called "tuna" in Mexico) come in a variety of colors. My plants make an orange fruit that matures in August. I love the taste of the fresh fruit, but it’s a bit of an acquired taste due to the abundant seeds and the nasty spines (technically called glochids).

Unlike a lot of jelly recipes floating around the interwebs, I guarantee that this one works. It basically follows the ratios and instructions for red raspberry jelly as detailed in the Sure Jell pectin box. In my experience with jam and jelly recipes, sticking with the directions in the pectin box yields consistent results. And stay tuned for a video I shot on how to make this jelly.

Update: Green Roof Grower Bruce wrote to suggest using Pomonas Universal Pectin to reduce the sugar level of this recipe even further. I’m going to give it a try. In the meantime the folks behind Pomona’s have a very similar recipe for prickly pear jelly that uses less sugar here (pdf).

Update 8/28/2010: I tried the Pomonas Universal Pectin prickly pear jelly recipe linked to above. It works, and uses one cup less sugar than my recipe above. The color is also more vibrant due to the larger percentage of fruit. However, both Mrs. Homegrown and Homegrown Neighbor found the more gelatinous consistency of the Pomonas prickly pear jelly objectionable. Verdict: for now I’m going to stick with SureJell or equivalent.
