I would put my vote for either cucumbers or yellow squash. They both produce forever and squash can be easily eaten fresh or frozen. Cucumbers can be easily canned or made into pickles.

that's a good point V, it could be 2 different categories, things for storage, things that produce well for eating throughout the season

Tomatoes would have to be in there as you can easily harvest the seeds for the following years crop.
I would think spinach, kale, and chard if grown right could be harvested a few times per year.
Broccoli for sure. So many nutrients in them.

I would go with potato or sweet potato. High calorie stuff with carbs, and easy to store fresh with a root cellar.

my choices would be sweet potatoes and winter squash, for storage. any other vegetables can be pickled. quinoa and other grains would be good for calories. any extra grains need to be malted, hopped, and brewed :).
i like steve solomon's book "Gardening When It Counts" has some good info on what is easy to grow in a pinch, and how to get a survival garden started.
