How To

How to preserve food during a crisis?

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 bacteria growth.

Because they don't need to be prepared, dried fruits are ideal for snacking during emergencies. Dried fruits are easy to transport and can be eaten as much as you like without worrying about weight gain.

It is possible to dry fruit at-home using a drying rack, but a solar oven would be more practical. To dry any type of food, you could use a sun oven, such as meats, fish, vegetables and grains.

It is vital to make sure food is sealed tightly when it is being preserved. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. If you seal the container tightly enough, there won't be any need to add preservatives.

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

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Then seal the bag and place it somewhere warm to dry completely.

Once the food has dried, you can place it in a sealed bag. It is important not to let food contact other things.
