Attention gardener's - best survival crop

What crops/plants/varieties would be your top 5 (or 10 even) to plant before/during/after SHTF (whatever your definition of SHTF). Suppose you were limited on being able to bring in food from grocery stores and/or you were unable to rely on your pantry stockpile. What would be some of the most nutrient dense plants that you would grow? What can store easily with little to no refrigeration? Obviously you would want to supplement this with foraging/hunting/fishing if possible. I would think a mixture of things that grow really quick (or don't require lots of soil amendments) and things like squash/pumpkin that can store for a while without you having to process them.
