If the electricity goes out, you can no longer cook.

But you still have to eat.

Which foods are suitable for an emergency supply when there is a blackout?

What can you actually still eat if, in an emergency, the power really goes out?

Pasta with tomato sauce is bad.

You can forget about many dried foods such as rice or flour during a so-called blackout.

Because when supply chains are disrupted and the power goes out not only in the supermarket but also in your home, it is not easy to find something to eat.

The nicest stock of onions and potatoes is useless.

Oatmeal with long-life milk is better.

Below you can find out which groceries you should stock up on in the event of a potential power outage.

Since people can go some time without eating, but not for very long without drinking, an emergency supply of drinks is essential.

The

Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster

Assistance recommends two liters of liquid per day per person.

It is therefore best to always have enough water in the house.

You can also dissolve tea powder in cold water, for example.

It may also be worth buying a camping or alcohol stove in an emergency, as recommended by the

Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry

.

With this you can make smaller meals and hot drinks such as instant coffee.

may not taste as delicious cold as they do warmed up.

But they are all nutritious for emergencies.

Look around the canned food aisles in the supermarket and select the foods that you would also like to eat cold in an emergency.

Even spreads such as honey or nut nougat cream can still be eaten if the power goes out.
