Very good point. Fellow I know from Walcheren Island in Nederland had a huge supply of tulip bulbs in the attic of his house. That extended just above sea level. When the polder dykes were bombed in WWII he lived well and made some money. Later, during the Springflud, he did the same.
Many Dutch people store tulip bulbs for their value as a renewal emergency food.
