Calories Count! That's right, the average adult needs 1800-2000 calories per day just to maintain health. Children require 1400-2200 depending on age (active teenagers may need even more!)
Unfortunately, some food storage companies are selling their product based on SERVINGS instead of calories. What is being advertised is something like "Two meals a day for two adults and 3 children". But if you'll look closely, you won't see listed how many calories are provided for in that serving. That's unfortunate, because a serving means almost nothing in the world of nutrition. Anything can be called a serving, even a bail of hay, but that doesn't mean it is nutritious! What you HAVE to know - and your families health and even lives may depend on this - will you really be getting all the nutrition your family needs - especially in hard times?
The word "meal" can be somewhat misleading too. Ask yourself this; would you call a single serving of Lasagna or soup a full meal? Especially considering it may only have 140-240 calories? If that's what is being represented as a meal - RUN from it right now, because you won't probably have the strength to do it later if that's all you are eating. In fact, you would have to eat 9-10 of those servings just to meet a minimum caloric intake for the day! What about vegetables, fruits, and other grains the body needs too?
HomeStyle Food Storage does it all differently. First, we created our food storage packages to provide the critical 1800-2000 calories needed per day without fillers. Fillers are the cheap ingredients that can be added to a package like sugar, flour and even milk that increase calories, but don't provide much in the way of real nutrition. We then provide not only a main course, but include nutritive side dishes, fortified drinks, snacks, and even desserts so families will continue to enjoy good nutritous food all day long! Even more, the average cost per meal for all of that is only $2.20. That's not just a good value, it may end up as the wisest investment you've ever made for your family's future!
Imagine having food storage meals that could be made as tasty and satisfying as the home cooked meals your family has always enjoyed and grown accustomed to eating!
HomeStyle Food Storage tastes so much like homemade, don't be surprised if your family keeps paying compliments to the chef! It's true, now you can enjoy the flavorful tastes and textures of beef stews, eggs with bacon, meaty lasagna, hearty soups, steamed vegetables, flavorfully enriched drinks, along with smoothies or pudding desserts that can be served at your table, right when your family will be craving them most.
Years of nutritional research, recipe taste testing, and manufacturing advancements have come together to provide not just raw component food storage, but a delicious smörgåsbord of fully prepared, nutritionally complete MEALS for your family. Add a little hot water, and in 8-12 minutes every morsel will be re-hydrated into a wonderfully satisfying HomeStyle meal.
The freeze drying process used by HomeStyle Food Storage helps retain all of the food's natural taste,texture, color, and vital nutrients. None of that old browning or withering you have seen before with regular dehydrated food. And with proper storage, your HomeStyle Food Storage can last up to 30 years! Each container averages 20 or more individual servings of delicious foods low on sugar, with very few fillers or preservatives.
