How To

How to preserve food in a survival scenario

The best way to preserve food in a long-term emergency is by drying it. Drying foods makes them last for longer and removes moisture. 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. You could use a solar oven to dry all sorts of foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, and grains.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. 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 is a good way to prevent mold growth. Next, you should add vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can either 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. Keep the food in the bag until it dries completely.

Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. It is important not to let food contact other things.
