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.


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.
