When it comes to survival food, it is hard to beat the amazing potato.

Your average potato has around 100 calories and is fat, sodium and cholesterol free; it also is rich in Potassium, Vitamins B6, C and iron.

The potato is also easier to grow than most staple crops, which is one reason it was introduced to Ireland in 1589 and quickly grew throughout Europe.

Another reason it that the potato is so prolific; one cultivated acre can feed almost ten people.

Because potatoes are easy to grow and can be stored for months, they should be a critical part of your survival food cache.

They also require very little space to grow, which makes them ideal for anyone who has limited growing space.
