BE PREPARED! Hardtack is a biscuit made with wheat flour, water, and salt with a long shelf life. We took the traditional hardtack recipe, the hardtack dough and made a new modern tack that is easier to eat and carry. Hardtack has a very long history of being used as part of rations throughout history because of it's long shelf-life. Survival hardtack is your bottom line of defense and belongs in your emergency kits. The stick sized shape is designed to perfectly fit into a coffee cup. They expand quickly in very hot liquids like soups as well. True hardtack is very hard and should not be eaten without soaking. Soak in broth, coffee, water, etc. Buy one pack, a case or a pallet of 100 cases.
