How To

How to preserve food for survival

In a long-term emergency, drying food is the best method to preserve it. Drying foods removes moisture which makes 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're easy to carry around, and you can eat as much as you want 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. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. The container can be sealed tight enough to prevent oxygen from entering the food.

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

To begin, you will need to chop up your food into small bits. 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 the food in a bag. Keep the food in the bag until it dries completely.

Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. Make sure that nothing touches the food.
