Why It's One of Your Best Options for Food Storage

So what's so great about freeze dried food? What exactly is it? And what makes it such a great option for long term survival food storage?

Companies like Mountain House Foods are becoming very popular sources of freeze-dried meals for people looking for long term food storage. Here are a few things to know about freeze dried meals:


What are Freeze Dried Meals?

Freeze drying is a process where food is cooked and then flash frozen. After it's been flash frozen, it is brought to a lower temperature to help evaporate any ice and as much of the food's moisture as possible.

The food is then placed in a sealed moisture and oxygen-proof package to help ensure freshness when it is opened.

Once water (hot or cold) is replaced in food that is freeze dried, the food regains it's original flavor, aroma, texture and appearance.


Why Freeze Dried Food?

With foods that are freeze dried you keep the freshness, color and aroma, as well as maintaining both a long shelf-life and reduced weight (because of the removal of water).

Food that is freeze dried also gives you advantages over frozen food, dehyrated food or canned goods.

Foods that use the freeze dried method do not require lower temperatures for storage, don't lose there freshness over time as easily as canned goods, and they maintain their flavor and texture over dehydrated foods.


Where Are Freeze Dried Meals Used?
