Fruits, rice, pasta
Edit: dont do rice, it’s a bad idea
Cooked rice won't last 3 days?
Hmmm, you’re right, sounds like I overestimated rice… Let me edit before I kill someone with my ‘advice’.
I don't know about pasta, but cooked rice can go bad within a few hours, definitely wouldn't eat it after a few days. Unless you mean dried rice but I don't know how you'd cook it without boiling water.
Haven't tried rice, but buckwheat you can toss into cold water, let it soak overnight and have a meal ready by the morning. An old time-poor (and money-poor) student's trick.
Huh, never heard of that, good to know! Though I've actually had a hard time finding buckwheat (and most grains besides wheat, really) at a reasonable price; the only options at my closest grocery store are all extremely marked up organic options in tiny containers. It's too bad, I really like whole grains.
Yup, rice and pasta.
Not fruits tough, unless they r dehydrated.
Fruit can last more than a few days without being dried though.
It depends on the fruit. Look at a banana funny and it'll go rotten. Apples are pretty stable.
True, though for a four day trip, as long as you get it at the right ripeness I don't think any fruit would go bad in that time.
But yeah apples are a great choice, like you said they're good basically forever but also pretty easy to pack - not as easy to bruise as other fruits. Oranges also come to mind as a good travelling fruit.
