worried that the end of the world is
coming well we’ve got your shopping list
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
foods and drinks that never expire
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at foods that
boast the longest shelf life to keep
this metaphorical pantry interesting
we’re excluding long lasting ingredients
one would never consume by themselves
like apple cider vinegar sugar or salt
to comfortably consume the items on this
list you shouldn’t need to add anything
other than water as an aside it should
be noted that everything goes bad
eventually and at home you should
respect the best before date this is
more of a worst-case scenario still
edible approach to expiration
number 10 dried pasta sure if you’re
talking about an exquisite dinner at a
traditional Italian eatery fresh pasta
cannot be beat but when you’re living in
an underground bunker or scavenging in a
post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world
where Italian fine dining establishments
served few and far between the dry stuff
is what you really want even in your
home you’re likely fine eating a sealed
package of pasta a year or two beyond
the best before date according to
survivalists however properly stored
pasta kept in a cool dry place could be
consumed up to 20 years after purchase
number 9
pemmican if you’re looking for food that
keeps for a long time even in a world
without electricity why not turn to the
historic masters of subsistence living
the indigenous people of North America
stopping animal proteins from turning is
challenging and of all the various
techniques out there for drying curing
or salting meat
pemmican is perhaps the one that is most
captivated Preppers this dehydrated
concentrated mixture of ground meat and
rendered fat has inspired much debate
with some claiming that it can last up
to 50 years if properly stored no wonder
it’s often called the ultimate survival
food
number 8 key
any amateur home cook working in a post
nuclear doomsday type scenario is gonna
sorely miss butter so if you envision
serving as a personal chef to a local
foodie warlord with a big appetite and
short temper
we suggest stocking up on ghee a variety
of clarified butter traditional to India
and known for its stability and long
shelf life it’s the go-to butter
alternative of choice on survivalist
forms for good reason
it’s a super buttery fat that not only
tastes great
but also reportedly keeps even
unrefrigerated for many many years as
long as you can avoid introducing
bacteria to it that is number seven
hardtack it’s often the simplest of
foods that keep best and few prepared
foods are simpler than hardtack these
small biscuits are known by more names
than they have ingredients such as brews
sea bread ship biscuits cabin bread and
many more as for the list of ingredients
its flour water and some salt
if you’re lucky intentionally designed
to be as hard and dry as possible to
extend shelf life
hardtack was usually dunked in your
drink of choice to make it palatable
what it lacks in flavor and mouthfeel
however it makes up for in longevity
people say that hardtack keeps for
decades
number 6 hard cheese in wax what’s the
point of living in a world without
cheese not only will wax be making a
comeback as our primary post apocalyptic
source of light it’ll also help us to
keep hard cheese long enough for us to
learn how to clone cows from scratch so
that we can start making new cheese
unfortunately despite being created via
a process of fermentation and aging ie
well letting milk go bad most cheese’s
themselves go bad in a relatively short
time period but hard cheeses when
properly encased in wax can actually
keep for many years some say decades
number 5 hard liquor just because
civilization as we know it has come to
an end doesn’t mean you can’t kick back
and relax with a glass of the strong
stuff in fact you’ll probably be working
harder than ever before fighting off the
mutated beasts that stock the nuclear
wasteland planet Earth has become so
come evening time when you return to the
bunker you enjoy that drink
although cream liquors and beer will
spoil have kept too long
any sort of distilled alcoholic whiskey
vodka and tequila will remain drinkable
indefinitely if unopened the flavor
might diminish in quality but it will
evaporate before it ever goes bad
number four white rice if you live near
a grocery store when the news breaks out
that the end is nigh you should head
straight there to load up on supplies
and contrary to what your dietitian
always told you you’re gonna want to
head straight for the center aisles in
an indefinite emergency situation white
rice is a truly reliable staple it can
be acquired in massive quantities easily
portioned and most importantly for our
purposes if stored in a cool dry
environment can keep for up to 30 years
unfortunately again to the
disappointment of your nutritionist
brown and wild rice varieties do not
last nearly as long number three
dried beans it might be the end of the
world as we know it but you don’t need
to entirely give up on enjoying food
while you’re in the dry good section
stocking up on rice load up on beans –
sure canned beans might be the go-to
thing in post-apocalyptic cinema but if
you’re actually looking for shelf life
dried is the way to go pinto beans when
kept free from moisture will last just
as long as your white rice an impressive
30 years and doesn’t rice and beans
every night sound better than just rice
number 2
powdered milk while your wax cheddar is
sure to keep you in the dairy hard
cheese can’t really stand in for milk
especially when it comes to cooking
sadly covering milk and wax is not an
option so you’ll have to opt for the
next best thing
dried milk over time powdered milk
flavor will diminish in quality but
we’re talking years down the line if
properly stored some brands will last
decades by which point we’re betting
your taste in milk will not be that
discerning before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
[Music]
number one honey
the unique makeup of this sticky sweet
substance makes it so that even when
found in pots dating back thousands of
years it remains unspoiled while some
might argue that honey falls into the
ingredient category we’re signing with
Pooh Bear on this one honey is delicious
all by itself a regular spoonful of the
stuff has countless reported health
benefits and from a shelf-life
perspective there’s nothing we’d rather
have around indefinitely it’ll certainly
help make the hardtack and pemmican more
palatable do you agree with our picks
