One of the biggest issues folks are noticing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/stockpile-challenge-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stockpile Challenge<\/a> is getting enough produce in their diets.<\/p>\n<p>It can be a major challenge when living from your stockpiled foods to get enough fruits and vegetables.\u00a0 This is dangerous because, without produce, your family can be at risk for nutritional deficiency diseases like <a href=\"http:\/\/undergroundmedic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scurvy<\/a>\u00a0and their immune systems will be compromised. \u00a0A minimum of 5 servings per day is recommended, but during the long winter, how can you meet that goal with the contents of your pantry?<\/p>\n<p>As well, many people these days generally eat a low-carb diet that is reliant on protein and produce.
