What is your unconventional prep. Something that you think is uncommon or weird, but will always keep extras of?
Personally I’ve been really big on keeping canned pumpkin on hand. While it’s not the most nutrient dense food around it has the most fiber out of any canned item I can find and adds a new taste to everything. Goes great in mashed potatoes and soup.
Sealed in mylar with O2 absorbers, steel cut oats easily have a 15 year shelf life. Cook time, maybe 5-10 minutes. Uncut oats can do 25+ years, but they aren’t as much “pull out and cook” as steel cut are.
