IS DEHYDRATED FOOD HEALTHY?

Dehydrated food is as healthy as the food that went into it. If you dehydrate food with empty calories and preservatives, it may not be particularly healthy. But that's why we produce food from clean, simple ingredients that will nourish you when you need it the most!

HOW LONG WILL DEHYDRATED FOOD LAST?

Properly packaged and sealed, dehydrated food will last 25 years when stored. By removing the moisture, we produce an environment where bacteria and pests can't live. However, dehydrated foods can reabsorb moisture from the air, which is why we get so obsessive about our packaging, to make sure that our food is ready when your family needs it.

HOW DO YOU REHYDRATE DEHYDRATED FOOD?

The easiest way to rehydrate your dehydrated food is to add the appropriate amount of water and simmer it on the stove for a few minutes. This will let the dehydrated foods reabsorb that moisture. You can also add boiling water to the dehydrated food in an insulated container and let it sit while the moisture is reabsorbed.

BUILDING A 25-YEAR EMERGENCY FOOD SUPPLY

Putting together a supply of food that lasts 25 years can be a challenge. But, before we talk about that, when people discuss have a 25-year emergency food supply, they're not talking about having 25 years worth of food. That would be a lot of food. But instead they're talking about a supply of food with a shelf life of 25 years. Since we often want to have 6 or 12 months worth of food on hand, if you stockpile foods with shorter shelf lives, that means a lot more rotation. You need to develop habits that use all of that food on a regular basis. Building your emergency food supply from foods with a 25 year shelf life means that you can just stock up and forget about it and it will be there when you need it!

FOODS THAT HAVE A 25 YEAR SHELF LIFE

Most foods will last 25 years with the proper preparation and storage. The first problem is that proper preparation and storage can be difficult, expensive, and require specialized equipment. The second problem is and that not all foods will be enjoyable to eat after 25 years! There's not really any food that you can buy at the grocery store, put on your shelf, and reliably count on it to still be good in 25 years. We've done all the work to ensure our food is non-GMO and properly packaged so it will still taste great for years to come.

SHOULD I BE STOCKING UP ON FOOD?

We live in an uncertain world. Most of us are so detached from the sources of the things we rely on day to day that if those supply lines are disrupted we don't have any other recourse. And if we've learned one thing over the last few years, it's that our supply chain isn't nearly as robust as we thought it was. Whether we face a nationwide conflict, a large scale national emergency, a localized weather event or something as mundane as a job loss, there's no doubt that you'll eventually benefit from a 25 year food supply.
