All crops are perishable.

(Even if you're talking about hair -- the non-farming type of crop -- although very resistant to decomposition due to its scaly structure, hair will decompose eventually.) Forgive my digression.


Crops, as harvested plants, are all technically perishable, as they will decompose eventually. However, as defined by the USDA, foods that do not require refrigeration and have a relatively longer shelf-life can be considered non-perishable. To qualify, these foods would have to be treated in some way (i. e. canned, dehydrated, dried, freeze-dried), most often adding salt. Some examples of crops that are commonly transformed in this way become:

  • peanut butter
  • canned vegetables
  • oatmeal
  • flour
  • dried pasta
  • rice
  • ketchup

Some crops that do not require refrigeration and have a relatively longer shelf-life (although not considered non-perishable) include:

  • potatoes
  • corn
  • onions and garlic
  • citrus
  • stone fruits (like peaches, plums, cherries)
  • avocados
  • bananas
  • apples
  • cabbage
  • melon
  • squash/pumpkin

Side note: Although Twinkies are (falsely) rumored to never go bad, the only food on Earth that doesn't expire is honey.
