If you wanted to make shelf stable snacks that didn’t cost a lot but delivered on umami what would you make?
My first thought was corn nuts or baked chickpeas. A low cost main ingredient and a minimal amount of home grown herbs and MSG as a seasoning would do the job.
What else can you come up with other than beef jerky?
Picture for the algorithm.


Tomato mozzarella salad with lots of Aromat.
That doesn’t sound self-stable in the slightest. Do you have a different vision of this than I do?
Fair. Reading is hard in the morning.
