How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

It is best to dry food when it is in urgent need. Drying foods removes moisture which makes them last longer. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Because they don't need to be prepared, dried fruits are ideal for snacking during emergencies. You can take them with you and eat as many as you wish without worrying 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. To dry any type of food, you could use a sun oven, such as meats, fish, vegetables and grains.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. It is not necessary to add preservatives if you seal the container well enough.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Then, follow that with vinegar. Vinegar is a good way to kill harmful bacteria and stop mold growth.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can use a kitchen knife or scissors. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.

Place the food in a plastic 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.
