Worthy Shelf-Stable Products Available at the Super Mercados
Striving to fulfill one of my NY resolutions, this is the first in a series, unless I get too lazy (flojo) or distracted (abstraída) to continue.
Here is what I have added so far:
Ramen - Ottogi Ramyon : Ottogi is a South Korean version of ConAgra from what I read on the business reports. Anyway, all the ramen flavors I have
tried are good. Warning, if there is a picture of a chile pepper on the package, the added seasoning will make the soup spicy HOT! Not that I mind
at all and the dogs love the leftover broth.
Tomato Sauce - Val Vita Pure de Tomato “Made in Mexico since 1956”: Sold in 200g (7 oz) soft packs, the tomato flavor is sweet and flavorful with a
true tomato taste. The two flavors we have tried, Espanol and Arrabiata are delicious.
Pasta - Italia Espeghetti: 100% pure Semolina in a 1 lb. (453g) package. The pasta cooks to a perfect al dente in five minutes and any leftovers
reheat very nicely later.
Pasta - Vesta Caracolito (“Little Shells”), pasta de trigo semolina de trigo duro. Very good, any leftovers hold their “al dente” nicely when
reheated.
Milk -Jersey - Leche Entera in the 1 ltr. Soft pack. Best flavor of all the shelf-stable milks that we have tried.
Apple Juice – del Valle is a clear juice with a flavor that I like best. The Jumex is cloudy, with the fiber of the fruit – I want to like it more
than I do.

That's a good start, but check out Emergency Essentials. com. A great source of long term foods. I don't know if they ship to Baja, and if they did
would they arrive? But maybe you could have US friends bring it on down.

Hi Honey, why are you posting on Nomad?
Naww, just kidding, you echoed my hubby's remarks when he read my list.
Agreed that there are a number of high-quality, pre-assembled kits that you can order from quality providers in the U.S.
I am investigating do-it-yourself from the local resources. My intent is to highlight what is available locally in the Baja Norte.
