Food grade buckets are among the most useful supplies you’ll find for long term storage purposes. These buckets can hold 10 or more gallons of foodstuffs, and are a great place to store bulk grains and other supplies which you will need a lot of and which can last a long time. Heavy-duty containers with double-ribbed bases are best since they are more durable and stable. This makes them easier to move. It’s a good idea to get several different sizes so that you have the flexibility. Food grade bins need to be able to seal with snap-on lids. This ensures safety and freshness and also makes it easier to stack your bins on top of each other to save space.

The material of the food-grade buckets you buy is very important. You need to look for metal or plastic buckets which will resist corrosion and rust, and which will not chip. Not all plastic is safe for your health; if you store your food in the wrong types of buckets, the plastic can leech into the food and harm your health. Look for bins which are compliant with HACCP guidelines when you do your purchasing.
