How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

In a long-term emergency, drying food is the best method to preserve it. Drying food helps preserve them for longer. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Dried fruits can be used as snacks in emergencies and don't require cooking. They are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.

It is possible to dry fruit at-home using a drying rack, but a solar oven would be more practical. You can dry any kind of food in a solar oven.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This prevents oxygen from entering the container and spoiling the food. If you seal the container tightly enough, there won't be any need to add preservatives.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt is a good way to prevent mold growth. Next, add vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can either use scissors or a knife. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

Once the food is dry, you can store it in a sealed container. Make sure that nothing touches the food.
