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.

Dry fruits are great snacks for emergencies because they don’t require preparation. They're easy to carry around, and you can eat as much as you want 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 almost any food with a solar oven, including meat, fish and vegetables.

It is vital to make sure food is sealed tightly when it is being preserved. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. You don't need to use preservatives if the container is sealed tightly enough.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt helps prevent mold growth. Follow this step with vinegar. Vinegar kills bad bacteria and stops mold growth.

First, cut the food into 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. Then seal the bag and place it somewhere warm to dry completely.

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