Emergency supplies: food that stores well | QS24

Experts are warning more than ever to prepare for a sudden crisis and lay in emergency supplies.

The arguments for emergency supplies today lie less in wartime events, as they used to, than in gaps in the energy supply and the resulting bottlenecks and failures of vital infrastructure.

This can already be observed in individual countries today (for example, petrol stations in England). The question is not whether such a blackout will happen, but when and to what extent the lights will suddenly go out. As a precautionary measure, Marco Vonmoos shows how easily sprouts can help us in an emergency – for example, by setting sprout seeds to germinate, sprouts (= germinated seeds) of the highest nutritional value can be produced within 2–3 days, exactly when they are needed. Besides all the other advantages, such as their nutrients, invigorating freshness and enzymes, sprout seeds can be stored for years. They take up hardly any space and can be grown into foods with healing qualities within a few days. This makes sprouts the ultimate crisis provision.
