CHAPTER 26 - SEED STORAGE BASED ON NUTRIENTS OFFERED

The seeds you store for later use in growing crops also should be looked at from this perspective.  If you have choices in seed storage possibilities that can provide multiple layers of use, why not choose to store those seeds instead of some that have fewer uses? 

For example, barley is a great choice for seed storage that can address many different needs in survival situations.  It can be ground for flour and can be used in making beer. 

It also is a great food source for cattle that can forage through the farmland after harvest and consume whatever is left while also fertilizing the soil for the next growing season.  Broccoli seeds are also a good choice as broccoli provides both protein (good for those who might still be attempting to keep a vegetarian diet even in the middle of a survival time) and Vitamins A & K. 

Not only is it a good choice for the nutritional values, it is also one of the easiest vegetables to grow and can tolerate light frosts without dying.
