RICE –
Full of nutrients. There is a wide variety of rice to choose from. The whole grain is most healthy for you. It can be
used instead of potatoes or have rice as a side. It is easy to flavor and prepare. You might consider a rice
cooker which makes it so easy to prepare!
Uses: Side dish, great with beans, soups, stir-fry, fried rice, pudding, Mexican rice, great with any meat, perfect with curry
dishes, meatballs, etc.
Types: brown, long, short, truly there is a wide variety with brown being the healthier for you.
Storage: Be sure to transfer bags to buckets so the bugs stay out, seal for long term storage
PASTA –
Be sure and store a variety of pasta noodles – there is much more than spaghetti and macaroni☺! Once you
have pasta stored you need to think about storing pasta sauces or ingredients to make the sauces!
Uses: As a main course in pasta dishes and soups
Types: Wide variety of pastas. Spaghetti and Macaroni are also sold in bulk. (Eat wagon wheel pasta on pioneer day, bow
tie pasta on father’s day etc.) Whole grain pastas are also sold in stores. Purchase both types and mix whole grain pasta
with your regular pasta to beef up the nutrition!
Storage: Be sure to Transfer bags to buckets so the bugs stay out of long term storage.
OATS –
A very hearty food. Breakfast will be taken care of if you store enough oatmeal and you may consider adding
some dried fruit. But don’t wait for an emergency, start having oatmeal today!
Uses: Breakfast, dessert (cobblers, cookies, etc.), granola bars, crackers, breads, muffins, filler in meatloaf or
casseroles, thickener for soup/stews
Types: Quick rolled oats or regular rolled oats. Quick oats cook faster but regular oats retain flavor and nutrition better
Storage: Transfer bags to buckets to keep bugs out of long term storage. While using store in an airtight container
WHEAT –
Very nutritious. Easy to use and store. Be sure you have a wheat grinder! Start grinding; add to any recipe that
calls for flour! Start with cookies and substitute 1/3 of the white flour for freshly ground wheat flour! Store freshly
ground wheat flour in your fridge or freezer to preserve the nutrients up to 6 mon.
Uses: Rolls, bread, pancakes, muffins, cookies, snacks, breakfast, sprouts, - anything with flour in it.
Types: Hard or soft, red or white. Hard varieties have higher gluten (protein) and thus are better for making bread to rise.
Soft varieties have a little less protein and nutrients, but do better with pastries, pasta and breakfast cereals. Red has a
typical wheaty, nutty flavor. White is lighter and fluffier in taste and look.
Storage: Be sure to Transfer bags to buckets so the bugs stay out. You can add oxygen absorbers, bay leaves, or dry ice
into your buckets of wheat to keep critters out. (see providentliving.org on how to store in buckets with dry ice)
CORNMEAL –
Adds variety to your diet.
Uses: Cornbread, muffins, mush, johnnycake, breading on fried items
Types: Steel ground or stone ground. Most common is steel ground; it has husk and germ almost all removed.
Loses flavor and nutrients but has a long shelf life. This is what you will find at the grocery store. Stone ground retains
more of the husk and germ but is more perishable. Yellow and white varieties are most common.
Storage: Be sure to Transfer bags to buckets so the bugs stay out of long term storage.
BARLEY -
This is only one of the many different varieties of grains that you can add to your diet.
Uses: Thickener in soups and stews, in sides or casseroles similar to how you would use rice
Types: Pearled barley is recommended for long-term food storage for its longer shelf life.
Storage: Be sure to Transfer bags to buckets so the bugs stay out of long term storage.
