Pasta is a staple food in almost everybody’s pantry. This amazing Italian food is known for its ability to resist perishing for a very long time – under the right conditions, pasta has been known to last for years. When you start to think about prepping, food should be considered one of the most important items necessary for your survival. And what’s food without variety?

You may have already started building an impressive stockpile of rice and dry beans – we’d recommend that you consider adding some pasta to that stockpile too. Why pasta? Pasta can be stored for an incredibly long amount of time without spoiling. In fact, when stored appropriately in an airtight container, at the right temperature, in a low moisture environment, you can rely on pasta to stay edible for a number of years.
