Yes, rice and beans. Two staples you can quietly amass and make part of your daily eating habits, with abundant health and nutrients that, EVEN ALONE, can and will sustain life… for a lifetime. Easily bought, easily stored, easily cooked, easily eaten… It’s just easy! It also has the kind of inestimable value in the actual case of calamity and chaos, when law and order give way to the very likely violent and scary times, that you can BARTER with. Money will have no value, and times WILL revert to the system of trading… or raiding.

The High-Protein Plant-Based Meal To ‘Save the World,’ According to a Longevity Expert

So just how much rice and beans? Good thinking, and I hope you asked, because the answer is exquisitely simple. 3 meals a day of 1/2 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of beans, (ANY BEANS, but note, some beans cannot be eaten with the same water you boil it in, it will cause severe illness… caveat, it’s on you to be safe in all ways), and 2 cups of water would feed you well, albeit leanly. Leanly means, you’re gonna lose weight. Simply double the portions and ease that mild sense of hunger. Adding any herbs and veggies you have would increase caloric and nutritional values, so depending on your absolute need for flavor, you can now know PRECISELY how much to store. 1 year, 10 years, 30 years, and 50 years from now, it’s simple math. Follow me.
