Can powdered whey protein be stocked long term as an emergency food supply and substitute animal protein if there's none avaliable ?
EDIT: Asking on behalf of a couple friends who drink it every day in the gym and said they could fetch a good supply on short notice if it's useful.
It wouldn't hurt, if you want it to stay fresh for 20 years, yes I would do it. I do have some beans stored in Tupperware. I don't think you have to worry about bugs with beans. Rice would be questionable. Flour, cornmeal or any ground wheat or corn, yes definitely.
It is a very cheap process. You can get everything you need for under $40.
Store all the sealed bags in rubbermaid totes, I had 20 lb bag of rice stored in the pantry in our basement, it came in a doulbe layered paper bag, mice got in to it.
Oh, that's too bad. But thanks for the info and I do think I'll get the mylar to be on the safe side. Cheers.
