Long term food preps/options for veggies and fruit and general suggestions
I'm putting in a few months worth of long-term food for my family, but I want to keep it simple and budget friendly. I'm putting the food into gallon mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and storing them in a quasi-hidden location in my house (not the pantry). I'm bagging dried split peas, dried lentils, beans, white rice, sugar, hard white wheat, oats, instant coffee and powdered milk. I've been buying some Auguson farms carrots and freeze dried fruit for nutritional variety, but they're pricey. What are my other options to keep the diet fairly balanced, if any and is any of the stuff I'm bagging not a good idea (i.e shelf life of less than 5 years?) Thank you all in advance.
