Powdered Eggs

Our foods that we stock up on for a SHTF scenario should be nutrient dense to keep us well nourished during a time of survival, and powdered eggs certainly fit that bill.

Powdered eggs will give you a wide variety of B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12 which is also known as cobalamin. They will also provide you with vitamins A, D, E and K, and addition to phosphorous, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, selenium and zinc. Not to mention that you’ll get almost all 9 of the essential amino acids and a great source of protein. This is a high quality survival food no doubt. Having powdered eggs in your food storage preps is really a feather in your cap.

Here’s a great brand to look at:

While powdered eggs get the job done, if someone wanted to go all out and make an investment in a freeze dryer/dehydrator, they could store actual scrambled eggs, or whatever type of eggs they prefer. While these might be a little more tasty than powdered eggs, there won’t be any real difference in the amount of awesome nutrition you’ll get from either option. I would opt for both if given a choice, because while you are surviving on freeze dried or dehydrated eggs, you can always fall back on your powdered eggs as a backup. Many people won’t have the budget for a freeze dryer, and others won’t have the time or attention span to learn how to use one. Either way, powdered eggs are a great thing to have in your stash.

Powdered eggs as well as powdered milk should be a must have for every prepper’s food storage strategy. These foods can give you everything you need nutrition wise, and you don’t have to worry about them expiring or going bad. While I prefer both of their non-powdered counterparts, they both taste just fine to me and I will be very grateful to have them when things go haywire.
