A big bag of rice is good so long as you have potable water.
Beans are excellent protein, same caveat, though canned are good.
Canned veggies, in various sized cans, are great for this as well.

Seeds for the long term. Look up the “Three Sisters” for the best way to plant for subsistence.

The ultimate emergency food? A flock of chickens. A couple of dozen birds can keep a family in meat and eggs, even provide a surplus for trade.

Beans are good and rice is good, but beans and rice together gives you complete protein (containing all the amino acids you need — since they’re not stored, you need to eat them together).
