Here's the main reason why one of many credible sources believe rancid oil (by itself and in food) is harmful:

"Rancid oil forms harmful free radicals in the body, which are known to cause cellular damage and have been associated with diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and other conditions. Rancid oils can also cause digestive distress and deplete the body of vitamins B and E. In his book "8 Weeks to Optimum Health", Dr. Andrew Weil says rancid oil can also cause damage to DNA, accelerate aging, promote tissue degeneration and foster cancer development."

There comes a time when one simply does not give a crap! If it is food you eat it.

Until one reaches that point they are not in a survival situation, they are just inconvenienced.

Staying alive until tomorrow is the goal, cancer twenty years down the road is not an issue, you will probably not live that long anyway.

Excellent point.

[BENESSE]

Since apparently it hasn't, it SHOULD go without saying that in a true survival situation all bets are off when it comes to food. Of course, you're not gonna worry about cancer down the road if you're trying to make it through another day. When there's nothing left but mouse turds, rancid PB will look like a five star delicacy.

[Rick]

Mouse turds. Ummmm. No. Not without mousturd. (I slay myself. I really do)

[mouse111111]

What did you say about me!

[Rick]

Yeah, Benesse. What'd you call him?

2 foods that have been long term on my shelves, peanut butter and beans, most bp lasts about 2 or 3 yrs on my shelf before i eat it, i usually wait for a sale, like 2 bucks for a 1kg (2.2lb) jar then purchase about 30 ata time, love the look i get at checkout.
same with beans-have had some on the shelf now for about 8 yrs, and rice close to the same time

[Rick]

Does the oil separate out of the PB over that length of time? Even if it does you should be able to stir it up but I was just wondering.

[crashdive123]

Rick - one of the brands of PB I get is the Smuckers All Natural. The oil is separated when you buy it. Just stir it up (made easier with 30 seconds in the microwave) and it's ready.

[Rick]

Odd. I've never seen that. I've had the oil separate on those little one use packs (and leak all over the place, too). But I've never seen it in the jar. Cool. Thanks for the heads up.

[SemperFi]

well that was the reason I started this thread , foods like peanut butter have a really long shelf life and have tons of protien and calories to keep you going, beans the same and rice , I have lots of all three as well!

[islander]

You can now buy powdered peanut butter at most stores like costco/ wallyworld etc.. I do believe the shelf life is about 25 yrs.

[Rick]

Calories, I don't need. Protein and long shelf life a little more. By the way, if you store a lot of beans you might want to store a lot of Beano.

My favorite part - No sugar (not that I'm opposed to sugar - just think it tastes better without it)

i get adams often and it has the same tendency, as will all oily nut butters without binders/emulsifiers added to prevent it.

[Rick]

I didn't know powdered peanut butter existed. Thanks. I did a search and found a test between three brands. Trader Joe's won on taste test and is cheaper. We have a Trader Joes here so I have to find some.

[Sparky93]

Now if they just sold powdered jam and powdered bread (I guess you could just say flour is powdered bread) and you would have a complete meel. Powdered peanut butter, jam, milk, and bread.....

[canid]

don't forget the powdered water to hydrate it.
