The only natural food that never spoils

[Q]

Is honey the only one? I don't think salt counts as a 'food'.

 

[olds]

water? Is that a "food"?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Peanut butter, I think? Does that actually spoil? There is an expiry date on it though, but it just seems like it's something that can't really spoil. If all you use it for is toasts, a container will last years and years, and still be good. Unless there's bacteria that form that don't change the look or taste, and I will die of something. lol

Cattle won't spoil as long as you feed them.

Came in to post this. Some other 'seed' type foods last a life time.

i discovered a food source that won't spoil. you just have to feed it.
Naturally, nothing edible on this planet will last forever. The pyramids don't even last forever and their not edible.

salt ?

anything that provides you nutrition will eventually have its molecules break down and rearrange.

Most foods won't "spoil" as long as you evacuate it of water.

oxygen and light also break down food.

If I remember correctly, the honey they find in tombs in Egypt is still viable.

I would think most unprocessed grains last a long time.

Jelly and jams don't need preservatives because of the high sugar content. It also depends on what you define as natural. Pickled or salted foods last a while.

Kept in tightly sealed jars and buried in tombs under the sand, it's not hard to see why.

Any high-sugar processed food (like molasses) can keep for a very long time that way, but honey probably beats out everything else.

Anything salted keeps for a while, too, which is why Egyptian pharaohs and other figures washed in natron were so well preserved, as well, even with the dried flesh intact on some bodies after 3,000 or 4,000 years.

But I wouldn't eat them D:

Tofu?

Well if what mcdonalds serves is considered food, then Mcdonalds hamburgers.
