This is the *old* safe food list by Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (LHCOS) created by Stacy Griffith.
Stacy has since then written several books about the topic, and came out with an extensive food database on LHCOS.org. I really recommend using that database and feeling comfortable using it if you're going to be making your own food for your crabs.
For those who want quick access to a generous list of safe foods, I will list it here. You can use anything on this list to make your own hermit crab recipes!
