                                                                Food Storage and Allergies

 

When storing food storage one must think about what your allergies are in order to be successful. If you cannot eat wheat then there are other grains that you can substitute. And there are many wonderful books on Gluten Free Cooking. If you cannot afford to purchase one then go to your local library and copy some of the great recipes. If you cannot drink cow’s milk then your choices are soy, rice, almond and coconut milk, something that many of us did not have years ago. One thing to know about soy is you should use organic soy as soy absorbs pesticides more than any other crop. When purchasing grains choose non-GMO (genetically modified organism) so my advice is use Organics whenever possible.
