Ramen in the Prep Stash: Yay or Nay?

[halfclickwest]

Curious what folks think about keeping ramen in the prep stash. I know it's not exactly nutrient-dense, but it's cheap, filling, and lasts a while.

I've got a few cases stored away, but I'm wondering how long they really last past the date. Also — is there a better way to store them than just keeping the packs in the box?

Anyone rotate ramen regularly or have tricks to make it a little more useful in a long-term situation? They seem to last longer than their expiration date.

Yay! I keep cases of it sealed in grenade cans, and I rotate out fairly regularly. On my home forum, we have a huge thread on recipes:
