Staples
Any emergency food supply should be stocked with staples like butter, eggs and milk, which are key ingredients to a variety of meals.

Just add water and it becomes a creamy spread for your table or for your recipes. The can contains an equivalent of 18 1/2 half-cup sticks of butter.

Meat
When it comes to your emergency food prep, you need a source of protein with a long shelf-life and that's going to be Emergency Essentials' canned meat. Unlike canned meats you've probably had in the past, you won't have to settle for tasteless beef or chicken.
Ground Beef
There's a reason that thousands of customers consider the Emergency Essentials Ground Beef the most important food in their emergency food supply. It's the king of complete proteins and the house seasoning gives it a simmer-in-its-own-juices succulence. Add hot water and you have fully cooked beef in just minutes that can be used a hundred different ways. The special freeze-drying process locks in flavor but doesn't damage the cellular structure of the beef. If Mother Nature made a perfect survival food, ground beef is it. Make delicious tacos, casseroles, burritos, meat pies, soups, stews, sandwiches, pasta sauces, chili, and much more.
Cooked White Chicken
Without a doubt chicken is one of the most widely popular meat choices for families. Packed with protein, the Emergency Essentials Cooked White Chicken is cut into approximately half an inch cubes. Use the delicious, freeze-dried chicken in pasta and stir-fry or soups and salads.
Cooked Beef Dices
Just like Emergency Essentials' ground beef, the brand's Cooked Beef Dices have been seasoned just right, cooked and then freeze-dried to lock in the color, texture, flavor and size of fresh beef. Rehydrate the bite-size pieces of beef and use them in soups, stews, stir-fry or use as a main dish.
Grains
A variety of grains should absolutely be added to your emergency food storage. They are a source of fiber and give substance to your meals, especially, breakfast.
Nine-Grain Cereal
Emergency Essentials has put together a wholesome blend of grains with its Nine-Grain Cereal, packaged so that you can enjoy a healthy breakfast now or years from now.

The large can contains 45 total servings.
Quick Oats
The Quick Oats from Emergency Essentials can serve as a source of protein if meat is unavailable. Make them a satisfying breakfast staple and add them to cookies, cobblers or other baked goods. Oats can also help reduce cholesterol and are fast and easy to prepare for breakfast.
