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 helps to reduce the growth of bacteria.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. You can take them with you and eat as many as you wish without worrying about weight gain.

You can make dried fruit at home using a dehydrator, but if you have access to a solar oven, this would be ideal. You can dry any kind of food in a solar oven.

Food preservation is best done by making sure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container 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. Then follow this with vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.

You will need to first cut your food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Pack everything carefully so there is no air in the container

Place the food in a plastic bag. Then seal the bag and place it somewhere warm to dry completely.

Once the food is dry, you can store it in a sealed container. It is important not to let food contact other things.
