How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

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 helps to reduce the growth of bacteria.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. They are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.

It is possible to dry fruit at-home using a drying rack, but a solar oven would be more practical. You could use a solar oven to dry all sorts of foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, and grains.

Food preservation is best done by making sure it is airtight. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Next, you should add vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.

Next, place the food in a 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. Make sure that nothing touches the food.
