Your body craves fat, but it will also tell you when you've had enough. I suppose there's a cultural thing to overcome, too, we've been so conditioned to think of fat as bad. <br /><br />I was under the impression that sulphur only preserved color and I'd rather not eat additives that only make food look pretty. I just Googled it, though, and it does increase shelf life as well, so good point. <br /><br />No idea how long parched corn will last. I re-discovered half a plastic bag of some that was three or four years old, and it seemed to have absorbed some moisture and gone a bit "off". But then it wasn't packaged well at all. <br /><br />On a brighter note, I can report that I just found six tins of homemade ghee that are at least three years old. I opened one, and it's fine.Oblio13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08437467759652591125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-90571166845905029932012-02-13T08:42:56.136-08:002012-02-13T08:42:56.136-08:00Crusty, cashews and pistachios to me are like crac...Crusty, cashews and pistachios to me are like crack to an addict: If they're around, I eat them! I've tried storing dry roasted peanuts, but the same thing happens. If I get a snack Jones, they're gone.<br /><br />Oblio, you wrote a great article there! A couple of things: With the pemican, you said it tastes better than it sounds. I've gotta admit, the reason I haven't made any is partly because it sounds like you'd be eating a bar o' fat. Pinky swear it tastes good? ;-)<br /><br />Also, why not use sulfited fruit? It seems like that would help extend the life. No?<br /><br />Lastly, any idea how long the parched corn will store? I can really see that as an item to include in my GHB as something to munch on to control hunger. Sounds like Corn Nuts.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-10481378247981651792012-02-12T18:16:00.271-08:002012-02-12T18:16:00.271-08:00http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/rohdenburg8...http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/rohdenburg81a.htmlOblio13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08437467759652591125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-35036594513258580202012-02-12T14:12:58.945-08:002012-02-12T14:12:58.945-08:00I like to keep a large can of cashews around; they...I like to keep a large can of cashews around; they're calorie- and mineral dense, and have extra sodium to boot.<br /><br />Assuming no allergies, of course.Crustyrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478587825608882510noreply@blogger.com
