Getting Your Family On Board with Storing Food
by Sharon Astyk
Ok, I've convinced you - you need a reserve of food, you want to learn to can and dehydrate. . .
The big problem with the article is it assumes that food storage is about "canning and dehydrating" (and purchased processed--i.e. dried or canned) foods.
We need to pay a lot more attention to versions of "food storage" our great-grandparents used--vegetables and fruits that store naturally without processing (cabbages, onions, winter squash, all sorts of root crops, nuts, the list is as long as your arm)--also cold hardy cooking and salad greens we can grow in many areas with only a little winter protection--sprouting stored seeds--etc etc.
