STORABLE FOOD CAN BE HEALTHY
Good readiness must include storage of high quality food that will build us up rather than tear us down. Much of the storable food available is full of bad fats, salt and sugar and even MSG, not to mention high levels of pesticides and nutrient poor refined foods.
We grew tired of all other preparedness pails loaded with ingredients detrimental to your health. The Survive2Thrive 100% Organic Vegetarian Grab n' Go Food Supply is perfect for those people looking to enhance their stored foods with quality, nutritious, real food.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BE PREPARED
With hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, plus the man made disasters that often follow or worsen their effects, in addition to all the economic turmoil, we are facing some challenging times. If we are not well prepared, we will most certainly regret it.
EACH PAIL CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING ORGANIC INGREDIENTS VACUUM SEALED:
EACH ITEM IS INDIVIDUALLY VACUUM SEALED & NITROGEN WASHED
BLACK BEANS
Black Beans have a special kind of fiber that the colon uses to produce butyric acid, a fatty acid that the cells of the colon uses to fuel their activity and maintain proper intestinal transit time. Sufficient fiber intake is crucial to good intestinal health. Black beans are rich in fiber, beneficial antioxidants, folates, protein, minerals and B vitamins.
GARBANZO BEANS
Garbanzo Beans have high nutritional content, namely fiber, protein, trace minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidant rich phytochemicals and folates. Garbanzos, probably because of their high fiber and nutrient dense nature, give a feeling of fullness that prevents overeating. Garbanzos are high in fiber and many studies have shown how fiber assists in the balance of excess blood fats, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
PINTO BEANS
Pinto Beans are high in fiber, which helps balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Pinto beans are also rich in beneficial antioxidants, folates, protein, minerals and B vitamins. One mineral that is especially rich in molybdenum that helps detox sulfites from the body. They also contain good iron content, a mineral that needs replenishing regularly. Other important minerals in pinto beans that are cofactors in the production of a very potent antioxidant, Superoxide Dismutase are copper and manganese. Pintos are particularly high in protein too.
ROLLED OATS
Oats are highly nutritious and are rich in fiber. The special form of fiber in oats is itself rich in beta glucans, a kind of fiber with important cholesterol and blood sugar balancing as well as immune enhancing benefits. Oats are also rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. They are versatile in that you can cook them or just soak them for 20-30 minutes before eating them. Soaking oats with raisins or other dried fruit creates a very tasty breakfast.GREEN LENTILS
Lentils are also a food with a high nutritional content. As with most beans and pulses, lentils are high in fiber, which help s balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Lentils are also are rich in beneficial antioxidants, folates, protein, minerals and B vitamins. One mineral that is especially rich in lentils is magnesium, an important mineral that helps relax arteries and thus benefit cardiovascular health. Another important mineral well represented in lentils is potassium, a crucial mineral involved in the cell’s absorption of nutrients and release of waste. Lentils can be easily soaked overnight and then rinsed twice daily for 2-3 days until they sprout. In this form no cooking is needed and the lentils can be added to salads or sandwiches.
QUINOA
Quinoa is a nutty south American supergrain that is rich in amino acids (protein) as well as many other nutrients. What sets quinoa apart from other grains is that it is a complete protein. It is also high in mineral content, especially manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, copper and iron amongst others. Quinoa is also rich in phytochemicals that act as antioxidants in the body. A diet containing frequent portions of whole grains has been shown to contribute to a reduced risk for a large number of health conditions as part of a healthy lifestyle.
MILLET
Millet is another healthy grain that is less well known in the west but which is gaining in popularity. It has been enjoyed as a staple for hundreds of years in both Africa and certain regions of India. Millet is one of the few grains that is considered to have an alkaline effect on the body, a fact that is gaining recognition in many nutritional circles which consider that an alkaline body is less likely to succumb to disease. Millet is rich in amino acids, minerals, B vitamins and other important phytonutrients. It is particularly rich in phosphorous, a mineral that is crucial for the rebuilding of cell membranes and of the nervous system . It also has a high amino acid content.
CHIA SEED
Chia itself is considered a superfood. It has an optimal balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids as well as being a superb source of vegetable based protein. Chia is hydrophilic in nature. It absorbs much more water than most other foods, leaving you feeling full and allowing your body to absorb nutrition more slowly.

Buckwheat is a considered a complete protein containing all eight essential amino acids. Buckwheat is also high in fiber, minerals and antioxidants. Buckwheat also is a great cleanser and can help alkalize the body. Buckwheat is high in iron and calcium, bioflavonoids, flavonols and co-enzyme Q10. It contains all of the B vitamins, magnesium, manganese, and selenium, as well as many other nutrients
BROWN RICE
Why would you ever eat white rice, when the milling process removes close to 70 % of the nutrient content. Rice is probably one of the most consumed grains worldwide. Unlike white rice, brown rice contains valuable fiber in its bran as well as vitamin rich properties in the valuable rice-germ. Brown rice is also rich in minerals such as selenium, manganese, iron and magnesium, not to mention the many essential fatty acids and B complex vitamins, in addition to substantial amounts of fiber.
POWDERED MILK

Calories vs. Nutrition
For years we have been taught that nutrition is based upon calories, however modern research shows that not all calories are counted the same. In fact much of our common daily diet is filled with calories that make our bellies feel temporarily full but which provide little nutritional value. These are known more and more as empty calories because while they may have calorific value, they lack the density of nutritional elements that we need to perform our body’s essential functions. So while a piece of white bread may have a similar calorie profile as a piece of wholegrain bread, the difference in vitamin, mineral, phytochemical, protein and antioxidant content is dramatic. Often the food processors add back vitamins, which are frequently synthetically derived and may look good on the label but give no benefit and some would argue create a detrimental effect on our health.
The following third party articles explain this subject in a little more detail.

100% ORGANIC FOOD SUPPLY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why Is The Pail Organic?
There is much debate about why going organic is so important. It is an important topic to debate for multiple reasons because it is truly significant with regards to our health. Most people I talk to believe that organics means foods that are grown without pesticides. While this is true and important, it is only a small part of a very important equation. When a farmer practices organic agriculture, pest and weed control are definitely part of the puzzle, but nourishing the soil and feeding and building up essential soil flora and fauna are the most important things farmers can do. The reasons for this are that if you nourish the soil well it builds a fungal web and also increases the health of soil organisms that break down the minerals into a size that plants can absorb. Healthy soil means healthy plants and healthy plants rarely need pesticides or herbicides, even natural alternatives. This is a much more essential part of the process. Other important things farmers can do are to build the soil with compost and minerals. Another essential element of organic agriculture is to preserve the sol you have built. This involves good water management to prevent erosion, as well as mulching that will also prevent erosion and hold the nutrients in the soil for the plant to absorb. When you understand that conventional farming only fertilizes using 3 minerals; nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, you can see why conventional veggies have much less nutritional value. Our bodies need over 70 different minerals to function optimally and if they are not in the soil, as they are with a good organic farming method, we will not get them. How Does Your Stored Foods Differ From Other Stored Foods? The concept of storing food is an age old one that is gaining a renewed appreciation in many circles and for many reasons. Unfortunately much of the prepared food available on the market today has certain distinct disadvantages. Much of what is available is canned. Most cans used commercially for canning contain lining material that uses Bisphenol A, an endocrine disrupting compound that is being banned in Europe and many other countries worldwide. Other foods and often canned foods contain high amounts of salt and sugar, in addition to artificial colorings, artificial flavorings, MSG and other items that have been proven to be detrimental to our health. We believe that whatever foods you store should be as healthy as possible and this is why we created thIS ORGANIC FOOD SUPPLY. How Should I Store The S2T Organic Food Supply?

These two items are also organic and are used to make your food taste better. Feeling good about what you eat is so important and when you eat storable food that is not only highly nutritious but also delicious it makes the experience that much better.

- Good Product Review by Tina
- Finally someone get it! This is a great product. Screw Monsanto! Thanks for supporting Organic. Just proves you can prep healthy. (Posted on 4/15/12)
- A bucket of beans is better than a bucket of crap Review by Dillon
-
I agree with what William said. All this is is a bucket of beans and grains...and I LOVE IT! This is real food. I spent hours looking at all the nutrition facts of other stored foods and it basically is like storing fast food. I guess in this country, were people have no clue about nutrition, is why the other stored food companies are thriving. They are all packed with sodium, preservatives, GMO's. If they tell you different they are lying. I asked about the soy (since 95% of soy is GMO) and they couldn't give me a clear answer. That my friends is called a cover up.
I like this product because it is not trying to hide what it is. Just real food. This is how my parents stored food during the war and I imagine this is the same kind of food the settlers and pioneers used (minus the vacuum part).
I could probably do this myself but I don't have a organic source for all of these and frankly with 4 kids, a job and a wife who is disabled I don't have the time. This is simple, healthy, and just makes sense. Thanks and God Bless (Posted on 4/11/12) - Big bucket of beans Review by William

This is basically a big bucket filled with vacuum-packed bags of beans and grains. This is certainly a healthy route, and we'd all be better off if we ate like this every day. On the other hand, this kind of diet might be a big jump for somebody used to eating a lot of processed, prepared foods regularly. There is certainly no "cheesy lasagna" in this pail. If you are worried about eating like this, you could try a one-day experiment with oatmeal for breakfast, seasoned rice for lunch, and a simple bean soup for dinner. If you feel satisfied, this pail could be right for you. Plus, it's never to early to start eating natural, healthy food - if you don't eat food from factories, you won't care when the factories shut down!
Having said that, there is no "magic" in this bucket. You could probably buy your own vacuum sealing machine and store the same food yourself at a lower cost-per-serving. On the other hand, if you tend to procrastinate like me, the vacuum-sealing project won't actually happen until it's too late. Buying this bucket is an easy way to start your food storage without needing to figure out a bunch of stuff first. (Posted on 2/22/12)
