You are correct the date is suggestive, especially for canned food. things like peanut butter even sealed will go rancid, especial if not kept cool.

The idea of the post is to show there are plenty of long term foods for your storage that are not expensive and readily available and eaten by all. I like the ranch style beans they they picture take a can of them (with Jalapenos) and mix it with a couple cups of cooked rice and you have some good eating.

“I like the ranch style beans they they picture take a can of them (with Jalapenos) and mix it with a couple cups of cooked rice and you have some good eating.”

Whoever wrote that didn’t include any rice with the beans so he had an incomplete protein. You are right to add the rice to have complete protein.

I have a few jars of peanut butter but it’s regular type and I don’t have many. I should get some Jif natural.

I haven’t stored a nutritional drink like Ensure. I think they have that without sugar also. Then, there is the nutritional drink Glucerna for diabetes with nutrients in it. I’ll have to do some research on Ensure and Glucerna to determine what to get, plus I don’t know their shelf life.

Thanks, I have four cans of those ranch style beans with jalapenos and they are too hot...I will add rice!
