CHAPTER 27 - PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS
Speaking of protein, another vital aspect to consider when making food storage preparations is the absolute necessity of having protein regularly consumed in ones diet in order to enjoy long-term survival with a decent state of health. Again, have multiple sources able to provide is best in order to insure protein will be accessible in various emergencies.
The obvious choices for protein are not hard to figure out whether protein from animals you hunt and/or raise, canned meats such as tuna or chicken, egg and chicken production, dairy sources, etc.
But growing protein sources as crops is also important and some health conditions cause protein-rich crops to be easier to consume than animal sources of protein (and vice-versa).
Broccoli has already been mentioned as a crop source for protein but other great options include growing various types of beans, corn, peanuts, and peas just to name a few.
