Essential spices and herbs for your food stockpile

03/28/2024 / By HRS Editors

The typical survival food stockpile has versatile ingredients like beans, pasta, rolled oats, wheat and more. If you want to cook flavorful meals even in a post-STHF world, you should stock up on different herbs and spices like black pepper, cumin, garlic and turmeric.

Combining these nutritious ingredients ensures that your meals provide you with the calories you need, while also being delicious and well-seasoned. (h/t to TheProvidentPrepper.org)

The best spices and herbs for your survival food supply

If you have a home garden, you can also grow fresh herbs like basil, chives, mint, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme.

Note that space and money are both limiting factors when building a survival food supply. Before you buy items for your stockpile, make sure you know how to use them for various dishes.

Here are some of the best herbs and spices for your stockpile:

Chili powder and cumin

You can use chili powder and cumin for many bean recipes.

On its own, chili powder is great if you want to give your favorite savory dishes a spicy kick.

Cinnamon

Add a bit of cinnamon to give a delicious flavor boost to plain rolled oats or baked bread.

Cinnamon can also be used to make different beverages, like cinnamon hot chocolate, a cinnamon latte, a peanut butter cinnamon smoothie, or a turmeric cinnamon tea. (Related: HRS solutions: Must-have survival drinks for your pantry.)

Garlic

Aside from fresh garlic bulbs, you can also stock up on garlic salt, garlic pepper, or granulated garlic.

Garlic is an aromatic that pairs well with basic ingredients.

Lemon pepper

Chard is a leafy green that can provide some missing nutrients when cooking with dry basics. One way to use Swiss chard is to sprinkle a bit of lemon pepper.

Onions

Many savory dishes use onions as a main ingredient.

Peppers

Black pepper, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, or white pepper should be included in your food stockpile.

Salt

Even plain salt can make almost any dish taste better.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a staple in Indian curries, but it is also a great addition to many dishes and even some beverages.

Turmeric’s earthy, warm and peppery flavor pairs best with roasted vegetables like cauliflower, potatoes and your preferred root vegetables. It is also a great addition to vegetable or chicken soup.

To reap the benefits of turmeric, add a bit of black pepper to your cup of “golden milk,” which is usually made with coconut milk, honey and turmeric.
