How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

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 the possibility of bacteria growth.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. They are lightweight and easy to take with you. You don't have to worry about weight gain.

It is possible to dry fruit at-home using a drying rack, but a solar oven would be more practical. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. 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 helps prevent mold growth. Next, you should add vinegar. Vinegar kills bad bacteria and stops mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. It is important to pack everything tightly so that air doesn't get in the container.

Place the food in a plastic bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.

You can seal the container once the food has dried. It is important not to let food contact other things.
