Food Storage 101

Food Storage 101 classes resumed Tuesday with 14 people attending.

Connie Moyers, Roosevelt County extension agent, used chemistry vials representing how much fat, salt, sugar and fiber existed in one serving of different common foods helping students understand what foods are healthier and what happens when we overeat.

She invited students to the Ag Expo on Feb. 20-21.

Cora Stroud reviewed with students the class goal of building a three-month emergency food supply. By calculating the ingredients contained in a week's menu of meals people are used to, then multiplying by 12, helps determine what is needed . Then, she handed out suggestions of what to purchase week-by-week for a year to help gradually build food storage.

Fusion cooking will be our next topic. The classes are open to everyone.
