Helpful items for your food storage

I wasn't sure what I wanted to post this week.  So I went searching on the church web site and came up with odds and ends to share with you!  I hope you enjoy and learn from them as much as I have!

Shelf Life of Long-Term Storage Items

Research shows that these common longer-term food storage items, if they are properly packaged and stored at or below room temperature (75 degrees F; 24 degrees C), remain nutritious and edible much longer than previously thought. Even after long-term storage, these foods can help sustain life in an emergency.

Food	Shelf-Life Estimate in Years
Wheat	30+
White Rice	30+
Corn	30+
Pinto Beans	30
Dried Apple Slices	30
Macaroni	30
Rolled Oats	30
Potato Flakes	30
Powdered Milk	20
