In times of uncertainty, it’s natural to feel a sense of unease. However, while we hope and pray for peace, it is also wise to stay prepared. A little readiness can go a long way in helping anxiety and ensuring safety for you and your loved ones. While there’s no need to panic buy, there is no harm in stocking up on non-perishable food and drink items. These products will last long, require minimal or no cooking, and provide nutrients and energy you may need. Here’s a carefully curated list of emergency staples, all available in cans, tetra packs, or sealed packs, that you can safely store at home.
Stock Up On These Canned And Tetra Pak Essentials
While there is no need to panic and go all out while stocking up, these essentials are something you can get your hands on.
- Canned Fruits And Vegetables
Vegetables are an essential part of our physical nourishment, something that our meals are incomplete without. For stocking up, canned vegetables like beans, corn, and peas prove to be better than fresh produce.
- Canned Soups
Soups are comforting, nutritious, and require minimal preparation. They often come in a variety of flavours, making them suitable for everyone.
- Canned Dairy Products
For a much-needed dose of calcium and other nutrients that are hard to replace with other foods, products like cheese and powdered milk are essential.
- Packaged Juices And Beverages
When water may be scarce or not immediately available, fruit juices and other beverages from Tetra Pak packaging can offer a great alternative. These drinks also provide a little sweetness, which can help during stressful times.
- Canned Pasta, Noodles, And Other Ready-To-Eat Meals
If you are looking for something completely convenient that requires no preparation, ready-to-eat meals like pasta and noodles in a can are the perfect option. You can simply heat them and eat them directly from the can.
- Canned Snacks
Canned snacks like nuts, dried fruits, roasted makhanas, and more are a great snack option.
- Instant Meals
For pre-cooked meals like rice, dal, and curries, Tetra Pak pouches are a great alternative for you to indulge in a balanced meal with no effort.
