Long Term Food Storage Recommendations
When shopping for long term food storage you will find a variety of recommendations for serving sizes and daily values. Here are the key factors to analyze in the nutrition information:
Serving Size
Calories
Macronutrients
Micronutrients

Serving Size
Serving size is all about how many servings come per container and the size of those servings.
Ask yourself these questions when looking at serving sizes: Is the serving size calculated by mass, volume, or weight? Is that size calculated before or after freeze-drying? Are any preservatives or added ingredients included in that serving size or is it measuring just the wholesome food product in the package?
Many “survival food” brands market large numbers of servings in their kits but upon closer inspection, you will find the serving sizes can be quite small and value lacking.
Calories
When most people think of calories they think of cutting calories in a diet to lose weight. Whereas in an emergency situation your body needs to consume as many calories from food as possible to sustain itself.
Calories are, in essence, the energy your body needs to survive and thrive.
When you compare Valley Food Storage against other long term food supplies you will find that we have some of the highest daily calorie allotments.
Macronutrients
There are three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. These are the building blocks of calories.
For every gram of protein or carbohydrate you consume your body has 4 calories to burn whereas grams of fat provide 9 calories of energy.
Having balanced sources of Macronutrients providing you with calories is key to ensure that your body has the right “mix of fuel” to consume.
Much like an engine needs both gasoline and oxygen to burn, your body needs a mix of Macronutrient sources to function well.
Micronutrients
The other part of the nutrition equation is the need for micro-nutrients - the vitamins and minerals your body needs for proper function.
The largest quantities of micronutrients are found in fresh foods.
One of the reasons we have such a relentless focus on product quality and insist on natural ingredients is to preserve the micronutrients in our products.
No matter what steps are taken for preservation, micronutrients will deteriorate over time which is why we invest in the best storage systems for freeze-dried food - to ensure that no matter when you consume it that the food has the best protection to preserve its micronutrients (and it’s taste!)
