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.

    I can’t really afford parmesan. Found a really good deal a long time ago and I still have a little bit left but it’s fully crystallized after 10 years. It is an umami bomb. This year we made the decision to buy some green-can parmesan. Which you see in my recent posts.

    But green can parmesan does not work to make chips, too much cellulose. But you can put either the good stuff or the cheap stuff on popcorn. So that’s a good idea.
