Ukrainians are forced to prepare for the winter, which may not be easy due to hostilities and military aggression of the Russian Federation. To prepare for the winter, you need to stock up on products that can be stored for a long time.. The Focus edition published a list of products that should be stocked up for the winter.

Salt.

Is one of the strategic products worth stocking up, but in reasonable quantities. You can buy ordinary rock salt or iodized salt (it can be stored for up to 18 months, after which the iodine evaporates, and the salt itself does not lose its qualities). It is better to store salt in hermetically sealed glass, steel or plastic containers..

cereals.

You can make a supply of rice, wheat or oatmeal. To keep cereals longer - they should be poured into airtight containers and stored in a cool place..

Legumes.

Beans and other legumes can be a delicious and nutritious side dish. Beans are rich in calories (energy value - 200-300 kcal) and carbohydrates. Eating legumes instead of a lot of red meat will help reduce fat without wasting calories..

Legumes can be stored in a dry and cool place.

Powdered milk.

In war conditions, milk powder can replace conventional. Despite the fact that its warranty period of storage is only one and a half years, in good conditions this product can be stored much longer.. The main thing is sealed packaging and a dry place indoors.

Dried fruits and nuts.

If you do not have allergies and these products, then you can stock up on them in advance. Dried apples, pears, apricots, berries are good because they are rich in sugar, antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and minerals.

Honey.

A natural product that is also useful in winter. It is best to store honey in glass jars with an airtight lid..

Honey contains all vitamins of group B, K, E, C, provitamin A. Since vitamins are combined with natural mineral salts and biogenic amines, their benefits are much higher than synthetic substitutes.. It is an excellent sugar substitute.

Vegetables.

Of course, vegetables are not a product of long-term storage, but if there is a basement, then you can fill it with potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onions..

In a cold and dry basement, these vegetables can be stored until next year.. You can buy vegetables now at agricultural markets.

Long shelf life products.

You can buy canned food (fish, meat, vegetables), jam (if you don’t have your own supplies), condensed milk, tea bags, coffee, bouillon cubes, vermicelli and instant mashed potatoes, butter, lollipops, cookies.

These products can be stored for a long time without refrigeration..

Water.

Drinking water is always needed. It should become the basis of a reserve for the winter, in the event of a lack of water supply.. You can also make a supply of process water that can be used for domestic needs..
