On May 2, 2024, during the May Day holiday, the news of the "Southern Theater of Operations": fierce battles are in full swing broke the peace.
In fact, the world is not very peaceful, and if there is a war in China, it will undoubtedly be heavy for us ordinary people.
In the face of unknown dangers, it is still necessary to protect one's life, first of all, to protect one's life in the war, and the other is to hire one's own "food and clothing".
In a world that is not very peaceful, if we understand the importance of food and what food can be stored for a long time?
Canned food that can be stored for a long time
In the "age of war", canned food was the most common food in war, and it was also the food that could be stored in the largest variety of foods.
Just like what we usually see in our daily life, canned food is sealed, such as: pickles, spice bottles, luncheon meat, fruits... The variety that can be included is simply varied.
Canned vegetables, canned meat, and canned fruits are only what you can't think of, and there is no food that canned food can't contain, and canned food has another advantage, that is, it lasts for a long time.
Just like the bagged food we usually see in the supermarket, the shelf life is up to 18 months, while the shelf life of canned food can easily reach two years, or even higher, 5 years10 because it is not a problem.
In addition to this, canned food also has a huge advantage is that it is "ready to eat", I think that in the war years, due to the uncertainty of the war, it was so easy to make food on the fire, and there was no need to process it at all.
In fact, the canned food itself is a convenient and fast, easy-to-carry small item, carry a few cans in the pocket you carry, and at least take care of the food and clothing in the next few days.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first
Before preparing to send troops, the soldiers will first prepare food and forage, while making full preparations for war, which is also the old rule of using soldiers since ancient times, how to go so far without food, in a sentence proves the importance of "dry food".
In our daily life, we often find it, just like compressed biscuits and bread in the supermarket, and rice and noodles on the daily table, as well as all beans, all belong to dry food.
Compressed biscuits are one of the most common dry foods in military food, and the dry food is "compressed" into a small square by a complex process, which not only has high caloric and nutritional value, but also enters the stomach and combines with the water in the abdomen, and the feeling of satiety will be extremely strong.
However, if there is a real war, prices skyrocket, financial market turmoil, dry food is also the first food to be handed in, so many people will not choose dry food as the first choice.
And it is precisely because of this importance that farmland, pastures, and areas that produce large quantities of crops and aquatic products will become the first targets of the enemy's attack, and once these places are destroyed, it will affect the food and clothing of the people.
But the benefits of dry food cannot be indelible, just like dry food can bring enough calories and a lot of carbohydrates to the human body, which can effectively restore the body's energy.
In this way, we can better cope with the difficult living conditions in a war-torn world.
However, there is also a time limit for the storage of foods such as dry food, just as rice stored at home can only be stored for two years, and sun-dried rice can be stored for five to ten years.
Beans can be stored for up to 20 years precisely because they have a low water content, less oil, and less processed food for a long time, which is why they are called "dry food".
Candied fruit and chocolate "energy bars"
Preserves are the "sweetener" that nature brings to us, and of course, this sugar is also a food that brings us more calories in the war.
Everyone knows that eating sweets can make people feel brighter, and is even known as a "mood stabilizer", because the sugar in these candied foods can regulate the body's blood pressure and blood sugar, thereby better protecting the heart.
Just like honey can be done, it can be stored for a long time, and it can also enhance the body's antibacterial ability and immunity, which is not exactly the "necessity" that must be in the home during the war.
If you are accidentally injured in the chaos, applying candied food to the surface of the skin can be a good treatment for some infectious wounds.
Chocolate can quickly replenish the body's extreme lack of energy, which is the same as a hypoglycemic patient, carrying a sugar with him, because it can provide a large amount of calories to the body in a short period of time to replenish.
In times of war, if you don't have enough food to give, a chocolate bar or an energy bar is the best choice.
Although chocolate, a cocoa butter substitute, does not have any nutrients to speak of, it is a "lifesaver" in times of hunger and is also used as an emergency food.
Products like chocolate bars typically have a shelf life of a few months or even a few years, just as plain or dark chocolate typically has a shelf life of between 1 and 2 years.
The shelf life of complex chocolate is usually around 6 to 9 months, so as long as the packaging is not damaged, it can be safely stored.
Both smoked and salted are kept fresh
The less microorganisms are stored on food, the longer the food will be stored, and this is the case with smoked meat.
A piece of raw meat has to go through the three steps of "washing, boiling, and smoking", which will well inhibit the breeding of bacteria on the meat, especially on the roof of the kitchen, which is smoked by high temperature and smoke every day, and it has become a different flavor.
The longer the smoked meat, the more flavorful the bacon will be, and the longer the time, the higher the salt content will be, so it is not beautiful to have a piece of bacon that is not bad for ten years and is full of color and flavor during the strategic period.
It can also be beautifully treated with pickles, such as pickles, pickled radish, pickled mustard...
However, one of the disadvantages of pickles is that they cannot be eaten more, and different food manufacturing processes will produce a certain degree of nitrate and nitrite elevation, just like the human body's thyroid hyperplasia may be caused by one reason.
epilogue
In the chaotic times of war, we have one more thing that we can't do without, and that is "water resources".
As the source of life that our human body needs every day, try to always have only some bottled water at home, the best kind in large barrels, in case of dangerous situations.
But in the absence of it, we can filter it, tap water, rainwater are good choices, but sewage can not be drunk~
