Dehydrated Food

The creation of Dehydrated foods is an ancient technique that has been used for millennia as a simple method of food storage for the long winter months. Removing the water from food greatly delays the development of mold or bacterial growth, causing Dehydrated food supplies to last much longer than fresh food would. In the modern age, open-air drying techniques have given way to high-tech methods, using commercial dehydrators that minimize the moisture content of food. The dehydrator slowly removes water from the food using warm temperatures, making the food lighter in weight, smaller and resistant to decay.  This makes Dehydrated food perfect for long-term storage.  Shop now or order by phone 866-404-3663 for a full selection of freeze-dried and Dehydrated foods in pouches or 10# cans.

Commercially Dehydrated food production reduces the moisture content down to to as low as 3-5 percent. This low moisture greatlyincreases the length of the Dehydrated foods shelf life. The highest quality emergency Dehydrated food designed for long-term storage achieves these low moisture levels. In addition to extending the Dehydrated food shelf life, removing this much water from the food makes it incredibly light weight. This makes Dehydrated food a favorite of backpackers, campers and those wishing to stockpile emergency food supplies in case of disasters.

Although not all Dehydrated food achieves these super-low levels of moisture content, foods with a moisture level below about 15 percent stave off the growth of bacteria and mold as long as they are under 2% residual oxygen. You can roughly judge the relative moisture content of Dehydrated food products by bending the food. A crisp snap indicates a much lower moisture level than food that bends rather than breaking. If you suspect the moisture content is higher than 10 percent, check carefully for spoilage. To keep the food as dry as possible, Dehydrated food storage requires proper packaging and storage conditions.
