How To

How to preserve food for survival

In a long-term emergency, drying food is the best method to preserve it. Drying food preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also reduces the possibility of bacteria growth.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. They are lightweight and easy to take with you. You don't have to worry about weight gain.

While you can dry fruit at your home using a dehydrator and a sun oven, it's much more convenient to do so in a commercial setting. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

It is vital to make sure food is sealed tightly when it is being preserved. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Then, follow that with vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. Either a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are acceptable. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. Be careful not to let anything touch the food.
