Amounts to Store


Notes from the Federal Emergency Mgmt. Agency:

"Long-Term Food Supplies.
In the unlikely event of a military attack or some other national disaster, you may need long-term emergency food supplies. The best approach is to store large amounts of staples along with a variety of canned and dried foods. Bulk quantities of wheat, corn, beans and salt are inexpensive and have nearly unlimited shelf life. If necessary, you could survive for years on small daily amounts of these staples.

 Store wheat, corn and beans in sealed cans or plastic buckets. Buy powdered milk in nitrogen-packed cans. And leave salt and vitamin C in their original packages. Rotate Vitamin C every two years"

We at AAOOB Storable Foods have calculated your Ezekiel Bread Mix and Grains and Beans Staple packages in such a way as to meet these guidelines. We believe 

Pregnant or Nursing women, Teenagers between 13 - 17 & Adult Males should be calculated from Column A, 

Seniors, Youths from ages 7 to 12 and Adult Females from Column B; 

and Small Children 6 and under from Column C. 

Our packages take the place of Wheat, Other Grains and Legumes in the chart above. You will still need to store Sweeteners and Salt as noted above. You may need to recalculate for your family needs based upon the numbers and ages of your family unit.

Example Calculation using the above table: Dad, Mom, 3 yr. old, 5yr. old, 11yr. old.
See, Grains & Beans. Supplement with Ezekiel Bread Mix, high protein, complete nutrition survival food.

Multiplier: 1xCol. A 2xCol. B 2xCol. C Totals
Wheat 275 lbs 350 lbs 120 lbs =745 lbs
Other Grains 125 lbs 230 lbs 100 lbs =455
Legumes 75 lbs 100 lbs 30lbs =205
Sweeteners 65 lbs 120 lbs 80 lbs =265
Salt 10 lbs 20 lbs 4 lbs =34

This translates into:
Wheat 745 lbs @ 40 lbs/pail=24.8 pails
Other Grains 455 lbs @ 40 lbs/pail=15.1 pails
Legumes 205 lbs @ 40 lbs/pail=6.8 pails
Sweeteners 265 lbs @ 50 lbs/pail=5.3 pails
Salt 34  lbs @ 50 lbs/pail=0.7 pails

Rounding off and depending upon the weight, we see 20 wheat, 10-15 other grains (depends on weight), 7-8 beans, 5-6 sugar, 1 salt; 
  pails = 48-52 pails (1 pallet = 48 pails)
approximately 1644 Lbs for a family of 5. See, the FEMA Family Unit or the popular Ezekiel Bread Mix Family Unit for inexpensive whole grain staple one year survival foods. See, Grain Mills, for manual, electric or dual powered grain, bean, seed and herb grinders and mills.
