A case of six cansQ:How many #10 Cans fit in a box?
A:  Six cans fit in a standard #10 can box which is 18.75" x 12.75" x 7.25".

Q:Can I order just one can of something?
A: Absolutely! We have no minimum order! Many customers order one can of this, and one can of that. If you plan to buy many total cans, you might want to adjust the total number of cans so it is divisible by 6. This way the cases are in identically sized boxes which makes it easy to stack and store the boxes. We are happy to ship odd numbers of cans though. Your boxes may not stack quite as neatly.

Vacuum packed and Nitrogen flushed for up to a 30-Year Shelf Life!

Mountain House #10 cans are manufactured with a unique canning process which uses both vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing (the same process as mandaded by the U.S. Military, for which Mountain House cans are also produced).

Each #10 can is coated with a protective enamel inside and out for double protection, including the lid. The can contents are protected until you are ready to open and use. After opening, the manufacturer recommends using the contents within 1 to 2 weeks for best results and taste, using the convenient resealable plastic lid (provided with each can) between uses. Treat any leftover contents as you would fresh food.

Gourmet Reserves Storable Food Products in #10 & #2 1/2 cans

Gourmet Reserves, Premimum brand of Long shelf life food, from Alpine AireGourmet Reserves by Alpine Aire - Long Shelf Life Food from Alpine Aire!Free Shipping!

TheEpicenter.com is a "Stocking Distributor" of select Gourmet Reserves - A la Cart menu items!  We have selected key products which have the longest shelf life and widest appeal to add to our inventory for immediate shipment.  We do not have any "Minimum Order" requirements! If we have the product in stock, you can get just one item, and combine it with any of our other products in one complete order.

Gourmet Reserves foods are Preservative-Free! There are no sulfites, bisulfites, or metabisulfites in any Gourmet Reserve product.
Some items are also Gluten Free. Gluten free products are identified as Gluten Free in the item descriptions.

Q: What is a "Stocking Distributor"?
A: Others on the web who sell this product may not have physical stock on hand like we do. They rely on having the product separately drop-shipped to you directly from the manufacturer. This process increases shipping costs and adds delays in getting product to the customer. We don't like that because we typically ship our customer's orders within 24 hours!

#10 (large size) and #2-1/2 (small size) cans.

Q: What is the difference between what is called a #10 and a #2-1/2 size can?
A:  Gourmet Reserves products are packaged in #10 and #2-1/2 can sizes! Shown in this photo is a #10 can on the left, and a #2-1/2 (also called a #2.5 can) on the right.

The large size can, called a #10, is about the size of a 1 gallon paint can. Its the most widely used size for delivering large amounts of product to food service users, like restaurants. If you have ever been to a Costco warehouse and have seen a huge can of Tomatoes, that is a #10 can. The smaller can in the photo is basically 1/4 the size of the #10 can. The industry calls it a #2-1/2 can size. It is larger than most cans you find at your local super market.

Q:  What is the shelf life and storage conditions for Gourmet Reserves foods?
A:  The shelf life varies upon the contents of the can, anywhere from 8 to 15+ years (depending upon temperature/storage conditions). We have posted a separate section detailing specific estimated shelf life and storage recommendations for Gourmet Reserves products (scroll down). It is recommended to use the contents of opened cans within 1 to 2 weeks (using resealable lid between uses).

-- Gourmet Reserves Shelf Life Information --

Q:What is the shelf life of Gourmet Reserves preparedness foods?

A: It is impossible to give a definitive answer without knowing how the foods are stored and in what containers, but the manufacturer has provided a very conservative estimate of at least 10+ years or longer when stored in recommended conditions. However, it is possible that some beans, grains, and other types of food will store for long periods of time in ideal conditions.

Extended shelf life is primarily affected by oxygen, fat, moisture, heat and time - the lower the values the better. Excessive quantities of these elements will cause loss of nutritional value, off flavors, odors, and rancidity. Handling and physical damage must also be kept to a minimum. Damage to can seams and excessive rust must be avoided. Gourmet Reserves products are sealed in heavy gauge metal cans with an oxygen absorber added. Be sure to observe storage tips for best results.

Provided that proper storage procedures have been followed, we can offer general guidelines as to the shelf life expectations of Gourmet Reserves foods. Once the foods leave our warehouse we have no control over storage conditions. So please be conscientious and avoid high heat - the cooler the better (without freezing).

Proper Food Storage Tips

It is crucial that you store food reserves properly. Please follow the following recommendations:

  • Avoid exposure to heat and moisture. Make sure foods are not accessible to insects or animals. 
  • Never store food directly on the ground or on concrete floors - moisture can build up inside containers. 
  • Avoid such storage places that experience temperature build-up such as attics, garages or car trunks. Ideally, storage for Gourmet Reserves should not exceed room temperature for extended periods. 
  • Store in a location that's accessible so that periodic inspections are easy. Rotate supplies!
  • Avoid excessive and rough handling of canned foods. 
NOTE: Alpine Aire Foods does its best, utilizing the latest canning techniques and oxygen absorber technology, to ensure the longest possible shelf life. Because of the various factors which affect shelf life, over which we have no control, we cannot guarantee that your results will match our estimates. In order to maximize shelf life, do not expose to high or freezing temperatures for an extended period of time.

Wise Food Storage

Wise Food  Buckets - 25 Year Shelf LifeWise Emergency Food Buckets
IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP!

  • Up to a 25-year shelf life (when stored as recommended; optimal temperature 50-55° F).
  • Ready-made meals in nitrogen-flushed pouches,sealed in economical 4-serving mylar pouches, shipped inside a tamper-evident sealed bucket (bucket is resealable once opened).
  • Simple and easy to prepare – Just add water!
  • Affordable.
  • A variety of nutritious, great tasting, hearty entrees your family will love.
  • Compact, durable packaging, little storage space needed, and units are stackable!
  • Dependable, simple, and affordable food storage options that will meet your family's needs for many years to come.


With unique freeze drying and packaging processes (similar to the packaging process for Mountain House #10 cans), this food will last for up 25 years (when stored at recommended storage temperatures), eliminating the headache of trying to rotate your food supply. Wise Company's unique packaging also adds incredible value to its products by making it easier to store and eat, further prolonging the shelf life. Instead of using larger containers (like #10 cans), which when opened must be used within a short period of time, each 4-serving entree is packaged in its own separate mylar pouch, thus eliminating waste. 

Wise Company takes it a step further by placing the 4-serving pouches into sealed, compact, 4-gallon, square buckets that are very easy to stack and store, and take up less space than other long-term food storage systems. The sealed buckets are also waterproof, light proof, and rodent proof to ensure the food is protected.If you are placed in an emergency situation, these buckets can also be used for a variety of other things such as digging or even disposing of waste.

All of these entree-only meals are healthy, vegetarian-based, and most importantly easy to prepare and serve. These products are all vegetarian, made with TVP (textured vegetable protein).

TheEpicenter.com’s staff have taste-tested these entrees and we were all extremely satisfied with the quality, taste, and texture of this product! We are confident that once you try one of these delicious breakfasts or dinner entrees you'll be a believer! Note: This product contains both freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients. These meals are Quick Cook 12 minutes or less..

We currently offer several options to fit the needs of families of all sizes. Each pouch provides your family with four adult servings of one of the tasty breakfast or dinner entrees, which could also translate into servings for two adults and four kids or three adults and two kids.


Please note: Wise Food Storage systems are not a complete representation of recommended daily food and calorie intake per person. Additional food requirements (vegetable / fruit, side dish, dessert items) are not included in the Wise food bucket systems.

Wise Food Storage systems are based on the number of servings per day for each meal entree and / or breakfast component, and do not include recommended additional servings for fruits / vegetables, desserts, or other items that add to overall calorie totals per day. As such, calories associated with "add-ons" are not accounted for or represented in the Wise system configurations shown below.

The number of calories required per person per day varies from person to person, depending upon age and other factors as well as the situation (i.e., emergency / disaster versus normal daily intake). Ingredients are also another important component to consider when making food storage choices (individual food allergies, vegetarian / vegan etc.). Wise products are vegetarian.

Preparedness Seeds provides the missing link in your food storage plan.  Each #10 can contains 16 popular varieties of seeds that will plant enough to sustain your family perpetually in a time of need!  Because these seeds are non-hybrid varieties, seeds may be harvested at the end of the growing season and then used for the next year’s planting too!

Available seed selections include: VEGETABLE GARDEN Seeds, CULINARY HERBS Seeds, FRUIT Seeds, MEDICINAL HERBS Seeds, SALSA GARDEN Seeds, and ANCIENT GRAINS Seeds. Now available: SPROUTING SEEDS in a bucket and CHIA SEEDS.

These Preparedness Seeds are packed in a #10 can with non-hybrid seed varieties. Each seed variety is individually and hermetically sealed in recloseable mylar bags. Complete planting and seed harvesting instructions are included inside each can.

These sealed containers of seeds* will store 4-5+ years on a shelf at 70 degrees.  Seeds stored in a root cellar, refrigerator or freezer will store much, much longer.  *The Chia seeds have a 10+ year shelf life when stored out of sunlight and at or below 70 degrees.

Ancient Grains #10 Can 

The Preparedness Seeds Ancient Grains provides 10 grain seed varieties which have been chosen for their proven health benefits and potential for sustainable farming.  Through the ages, various civilizations have used these grain crops to sustain, nourish and cloth their peoples. 

There is no way to include enough grain in this assortment to plant a full crop of any one grain but the intention is that these varieties of grain may be saved and preserved by those who purchase the assortment and then used to build up seed stocks in the event of a time of need. 

As time rolls forward, it will become harder and harder to find sources for modern grains that have not been tainted by genetic modification - thus the need to preserve ancient grains - even if we can only do so in small amounts.

A good example of this is the Kamut Brand Korasan wheat which is included in the can.  It came originally from 36 grains that were purchased by a fellow in the service in Portugal in WWII.  The man that sold it to him said that it came from the Pyramids in Egypt.  While the story is kind of sketchy, what we do know is that geneticists have tested the wheat and found that it is of middle eastern origin and that it is not being grown in that area of the world today nor anywhere that does not stem from those 36 grains.  The founders of Kamut International have trademarked this type of wheat which now ensures that if it has the Kamut trademark that it has been grown organically and has not been genetically modified.  Thus we see that from a few grains carefully preserved, we are able to reap the benefits for future generations. 

These Seeds are Non-Hybrid, Non-GMO and are not chemically treated. Because they are non-hybrid, seeds may be harvested at the end of the growing season and then used for the next year’s planting.

  • 10 large seed packets sealed in a #10 can.
  • Packaged for long term storage. Will keep up to 4 years if stored at 66 to 70 degrees and much longer if kept colder
  • All Non-hybrid, open pollinated varieties
  • Equivalent of more than 100 average size seed packets.
  • Harvested seeds can be planted year after year
  • Packets are re-sealable for lasting protection
  • Complete planting and harvesting instructions included
Varieties included*: 

BARLEY, Waxy Hulless
SPELT
QUINOA
AMARANTH, Kanta
RYE
OATS, Monida
KAMUT Brand Korasan
MILLET, White Proso
CORN, Hopi Blue
FLAX, Brown

*Important – Because of the shortage of Non-Hybrid seeds, substitutions may occur!

Organic Black Chia Seeds #10 Can New item


Chia seed is an ancient food that has become very popular of late because of its rich nutritional content. 

For centuries, Native Indian Peoples in the Americas have used Chia seed as a staple food.  Aztec warriors of Mexico subsisted on Chia seeds during their battles and hunting expeditions. American Indians of the Southwest would eat as little as a teaspoon of chia seeds during a 24-hour march; American Indians ran from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean to trade turquoise for shells, carrying only a pouch of Chia seed for nourishment. 

Sustained by chia seeds, the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico hunted by running their prey to exhaustion.  In 1997, a 52 year old Tarahumara Indian, Cirildo Chacarito, won 100-mile run in California.  He completed this astonishing feat in a time of 19 hours, 37 minutes and three seconds. He beat a field of hundreds of competitors with more than a half- hour lead, wearing only his home-made shoes made from old tire treads. 

Because of its powerful nutritional properties, it is a perfect survival food.

Health Benefits of Chia seeds:

  • A complete source of protein providing all of the essential amino acids.
  • An excellent source of high molecular weight soluble fiber, which supports healthy bowel function.
  • Chia seeds are the richest known vegetable source of Omega-3 fatty acids with a lengthy list of essential fatty acids that supports heart health.
  • Five times more calcium than milk.
  • More three times more iron than spinach.
  • 15 times more magnesium than broccoli.
  • Contains no gluten.
  • Can have a positive effect on cholesterol.
  • Has three times the antioxidants of blueberries.
  • Highly mucilaginous and has been used by diabetics to slow the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. 
  • Regulates moisture distribution to the cells of the body more efficiently. 
Chia seeds have a mild nutty flavor and can be eaten raw or sprouted without the need to be ground.  They are versatile for use in recipes both savory and sweet, including yogurt and oatmeal, porridge, pudding or in smoothies. They can be ground into meal and added to sauces as a thickener and to muffins, cakes, or bread or as an egg replacement.  Chia sprouts are a delicious addition to salads and sandwiches.

Mountain House "Mountain Oven"

Mountain House OvenMountain Oven: Flameless Heating Kit for Mountain House Pouches

Now you can "self heat" our freeze dried Mountain House foods with the new "flameless" heating kit. We also call it the "Mountain Oven".

This kit works like the MRE heaters we have sold for many years, but this is specially - designed to heat Mountain House freeze dried foods that are packaged in pouches!

Mountain Oven Components:

Now, here is a great trick for all you "Power users":

Take this kit, use it 5 times using the items provided to heat your meals, but don't throw it away when all your heating pads are used up. Just order our "new style" MRE heaters in 12 packs, follow the instructions on the heaters, and when activated, put them inside the oven and heat your Mountain house products just like your first time using your original kit contents! I know they don't want us to tell you about that, but we also sell MRE heaters, and they will do the same job, so there is no need to keep buying these kits when you only need replacement MRE style heating pads, right?

So, order your kit here, and as an option you can order replacement MRE style pads. Be aware, the replacement pads will have instructions on them that discuss use for heating MRE's. Ignore that, just follow the instructions for filling water to the right level, and put the activated pad (complete with outer bag) inside the Mountain Oven and put your meal inside the oven. There will not be instructions for how to use the replacement MRE style pads with your kit, but you will get how the process works the first time you use the oven.

Mountain Oven (5-use self heating kit).  Price $11.99   (Retail Price $12.30)
