10 Food Storage Myths … Debunked

Food storage is essential for homesteaders, off-gridders or anyone else preparing for the unexpected, but it can turn into a disaster if you don’t know what you’re doing.

In fact, despite hundreds of books and thousands of blogs on the subject, there remain quite a few food storage myths.

On this week’s edition of Off The Grid Radio, survival expert Lisa Bedford dispels 10 food storage myths – myths that off-gridders everywhere believe.

Bedford is the author of the popular Survival Mom book and a well-known blogger on the subject at TheSurvivalMom.com.

She tells us:

• The one specific food that people often believe will last forever … but doesn’t.
• The reason that people who store hundreds of canned goods may be in trouble.
• The big mistakes off-gridders make when stockpiling a year’s worth of food.
• The problem she has with storing lots and lots of wheat.
• The myth about freeze-dried food that pretty much everyone believes.

Don’t make the same mistakes your neighbor is probably making – mistakes that could result in you not having food when it’s most needed. If you store or stockpile food, this is one show you don’t want to miss.
