12. Olives
Olives aren’t for sure the first thing that pops into your head when it comes to long-shelf-life foods. Yet, if stored properly, unopened olives cans can last for up to three years. Tasty and healthy, olives should be part of your kitchen pantry too. Make some room for them!
From martinis to salads and mouth-watering appetizers, olives can be used for almost everything. Besides, they are a nutritional powerhouse that aids weight loss, improves digestion, boosts the immune system, delays the aging process, lowers the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s, and combats fatigue.
