I said it before and I'll say it again:

Hemp seeds are one of the cheapest, completest foods out there... But no one listens to HiAliens.

Hemp would end famine tomorrow, and they know it. Tastes good as well and makes you feel awesome.

Any one fruit and your body will eventually become deficient in something.

Hempseed: Humanity's Best Single Food Source
Of the 3-million plus edible plants that grow on Earth, no other single plant source can compare with the nutritional value of hempseeds. Both the complete protein and the essential oils contained in hempseeds are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. Only soybeans contain a higher percentage of protein. However, the composition of the protein in hempseed is unique in the vegetable kingdom. Sixty-five percent of the protein content in hempseed is in the form of globulin edestin.1 (The word “edestin” comes from the Greek “edestos,” meaning edible.)
The exceptionally high edestin content of hempseed combined with albumin, another globular protein contained in all seeds, means the readily available protein in hempseed contains all the essential amino acids in ideal proportions to assure your body has the necessary building blocks to create proteins like disease-fighting immunoglobulins -antibodies whose job is to ward off infections before the symptoms of sickness set in.2

I'll take a crack at the second question. Coconut, the almost perfect food. Now, regrettably, some folks are allergic to nuts (my wife is allergic to nuts, however she tolerates me -- years of desentisization).

As you can see by the link, coconut has a good allotment of fats, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, as well as a host of vitamins and minerals.

I've done some experiments in the past year, and have been able to dry out coconut meat sufficiently with solar power to be able to crush it into a powder. No additional fats necessary to make a decent bread. If you add some yeast, then it gets a little more stretchy and can even make a pita or tortilla out of them.

Dried coconut is very portable, and ounce-for-ounce probably the most nutritious emergency food -- next to real, traditional pemmican (dried, pounded meat, berries and fat, rolled in a ball). Dried coconut is self-preserving and will last longer than pemmican.

The ultimate? Yep, you guessed it. Coconut pemmican. I know, sounds like it would be more *cough* cleansing..... than prunes, but not so.

Excellent thread, Dr. Love. Let us all not wait until the emergency to compile the emergency goods.
