WHY STORE EMERGENCY FOOD? Keeping food on hand for emergencies protects you the same way as does insurance on your home or car. With Freeze Dry GuyTM freeze-dried foods in your food reserve, you can be ready for just about any unexpected crisis. In today's turbulent times of uncertainty, (i.e. global crisis, world market collapse, stock market volatility, increased frequency of natural and man made disasters, etc.) there has never been a better time to get a 'survival insurance policy' of long storing foods and preparedness supplies. In fact, the investment you make today may very well become the most important and valuable investment you will ever make for you and your family! Imagine, for instance, what a lifesaver these foods can be when your electric power is knocked out for several days by a storm. With Freeze Dry GuyTM emergency food on hand and a one burner stove or candle to heat water (cold water can be used in a pinch), you can still enjoy a hot, satisfying meal in about 10 minutes. Having a private food reserve makes a lot of sense. Good sense for both financial and security reasons. COULD YOU SURVIVE A FOOD SHORTAGE EMERGENCY? If food supplies were interrupted for any variety of reasons (i.e. Network crash of grocery store computers or computerized delivery systems, distribution network, national or localized natural disaster, civil unrest riots, trucker strike, terrorist attack, virus outbreak, etc.), existing store supplies would disappear within hours. No amount of money could put food on your table.... especially the kind you enjoy today. And how about those credit cards and ATM cards even if food was available. If the power is out or computer lines are down.... good luck, you'll be on your own. This need never happen to you or your family if you simply take a few precautions today to get better prepared and get the food reserves you need. FREEZE DRYING PROCESS "Freeze-drying" is a unique process that provides product characteristics that cannot be achieved with other processing methods. Fresh or cooked foods are flash frozen and then placed in vacuum chambers that are as cold as -50 F. As low level heat is applied, the ice evaporates without going back through the liquid phase. This process called "sublimation", removes approximately 98% of the product's moisture, which prevents the food from spoiling. The ultimate for long term storage. WHY IS FREEZE DRYING IMPORTANT? Freeze-drying provides very unique benefits and advantages over other food processing methods. Frozen foods maintain fresh flavor, but they must be kept frozen. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf stable, but their high temperature processing reduces their flavor, texture, color and nutrients. Freeze drying combines the best of these processing methods-—it locks in the freshness, color, texture and aroma of frozen food while providing the shelf stable convenience of dehydrated or canned food. HOW ARE FREEZE DRY GUYTM FOODS PACKED? All our foods are packed for extremely long term storage. This is achieved through the Freeze Drying process and without the need for chemical preservatives. As per government specification, at least 98% of the oxygen has been removed for long term storage. Heavy duty #10 cans are used for our products with two exceptions. Eggs are packed in #303 size cans and Freeze Dried Compressed Peas, are packed in heavy duty #2 1/2 size cans. All products are packed 6 cans per case except when noted.
