How To

How to preserve food during a crisis?

It is best to dry food when it is in urgent need. Drying food preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also reduces bacteria growth.

Dried fruits can be used as snacks in emergencies and don't require cooking. They are lightweight and easy to take with you. You don't have to worry about weight gain.

While you can dry fruit at your home using a dehydrator and a sun oven, it's much more convenient to do so in a commercial setting. You can dry any kind of food in a solar oven.

The most important thing when preserving food is to ensure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. The container can be sealed tight enough to prevent oxygen from entering the food.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Then follow this with vinegar. Vinegar kills off harmful bacteria and stops mold from growing.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can use a knife or scissors. It is important to pack everything tightly so that air doesn't get in the container.

Next, place the food in a bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. It is important not to let food contact other things.
