Randall | While nearly everything in the kitchen has a shelf life, there are some pantry staples that don’t go bad when stored properly. These four foods could even outlast you. Honey Pure honey stays safe for consumption indefinitely. It may crystallize or change color, but it’s just fine. Revive crystallized honey by placing the jar in warm water and stirring until they dissolve. Sugar Sugar doesn’t go bad because it can’t support bacterial growth. It doesn’t matter if it’s the white, brown or powdered variety. Be sure to place it in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry spot to keep from hardening. Rice Rice is another durable food. White, wild, jasmine and basmati rice can all stay fresh forever. But, brown rice won’t last as long because it has a higher oil content than the others. Salt Whether it’s table, kosher or sea salt, it will last for hundreds of meals to come as long as you keep it away from moisture. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/4-foods-that-last-forever-150943968.html |
charmainec | Kind of creepy to think about food that lasts forever..like.. fruitcake! lol! |
Randall | Am I the only person in the world who actually loves fruitcake? |
Fleurdelis | Thanks for the tip on crystallized honey. I used to think it was spoiled when it crystallized. I like fruitcake too! But it has to have extra butter/vanilla
|
Randall | Nope, bacteria and fungi hate honey. They found fresh honey in the pyramids. Soaking feet and limbs with early gangrene in honey has reversed it. |
Randall | The alcohol keeps fruitcake fresh. |
charmainec | Fruit cake is delicious..just creepy that it can last for long compared to other cakes that's all. |
Fleurdelis | Oh thanks for the honey tip Randall! I have been doing a bit of research of types of honey. Liquid clovers, eucalyptus, orange blossoms etc. Seems now they're marketing the creamy types. Fwiw, fruitcakes that are cheaply made aren't nice. I usually like those from specialty shops, where some extra ingredients are added. I think those from airlines taste ok. they have the cream icing on top |
HRH-FishAreFish | I always keep Manuka Honey on hand for my first aid kit. |
hippichick | I know this VERY quirky doc, a Scorpio that grew up in the hippy generation. He did an experiment; he put up two tubs, one filled with rice, the other with beans, when he was in college. He got them out after, gosh, doing a bit of brain math...30 years or so and cooked em up and and fed them to his family. He is into the whole end of the world thing. Now, this is the same doc who tried to tell me hydro marijuana was grown at the bottem of a lake... |
hippichick | gunna bump this cause it is so cool! |
Randall | Sounds like a cool doc. The doc on Back to the Future comes to mind. |

whaaaaaaat? |
hippichick | I am really paying attention to these things. I am far from a doomsday prepper, but when I semi-retire, I plan to build a bunker like thing, neath my grandpa's house. Cause I intend to speak out about the atrocities of US healtcare, the legal/judicial system, the government and much more...and will have to retreat to my bunker so as to not get shot...in the back...or meet some other horrible demise for opening my mouth, which I find hard to keep shut sometimes! |
hippichick | O, and I am not afraid of some natural disaster...come what may, but the US is going to really make somebody mad someday..... Yea, I will have my rice and beans and honey, in a bunker dug into a hill, on a fresh water lake. |
Catalina | Oh, you forgot one...Happy Meals apparently last forever too, burger and fries in your time machine...! |
Randall | Yums! |
