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’m 30 miles from the nearest place that offers things like powder broth. I don’t actually even know if they offer it.

    Oat milk is slimy. When you heat or crush oats, it gelatinizes them which creates that slimy texture. It has its place but it’s not a universal replacement.

    On the rare occasion, when I do make tofu, I will make soy milk and kefir. One of the nice things about soy is that you get three different products from making tofu. I’ll use the kefir to make something like almond cookies. I do really appreciate the functionality of soy. I just never do it.
