In order to be prepared for a possible emergency, you should have enough food in your emergency supply at home.
1 / 10The most important thing in an emergency supply is sufficient liquid.
You should always have enough water at home.
The federal government recommends two liters per person per day.

2 / 10What should not be missing in the emergency food supply are pasta.
The basic food can be prepared in different ways and the different varieties such as spaghetti, penne or fusilli provide the necessary variety.

3 / 10Rice, couscous, quinoa and co. also keep for a long time and are therefore almost predestined for emergency supplies of food that you should have at home in case of a possible crisis.

4 / 10Potatoes that can be stored in a cool, dry and dark place for a long time can also be used to conjure up wonderful dishes, such as fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, fries or potato gratin.

6 / 10Fruit provides important vitamins and can also lift the spirits due to the sugar content.
As dried fruit, it also keeps much longer and is therefore ideally suited for emergency supplies.

9 / 10Jam, honey, chocolate cream and co. also keep for a long time, almost forever if unopened.
If you like to eat something sweet for breakfast or would like to refine your tea with a dash of honey, you should make sure that you don't run out of sweet spreads.

10 / 10Last but not least, the necessary seasoning in dishes, including food from emergency supplies, is crucial.
That's why you should have enough salt, pepper, curry or whatever spices you use on hand.
Just like vinegar and oil.

The federal government generally recommends - not just for a possible imminent crisis - to have a supply of food for ten days at home.
The most important thing is sufficient liquid, ideally water.
In an emergency, you can endure it longer without eating than without drinking.
