In the conditions of a long power outage, it is very difficult to prepare something to eat, and even more so to store this food for a long time. For such a case, at home there should definitely be products of long storage, as well as those that can be cooked without light.
Nutriciologist Anna Kopus with the nickname ks_anyta on her Instagram page shared a selection of products that are a must-have at home during a blackout.
