Proper storage is essential to the long term success of freeze dried food
We are sharing the biggest tips to remember when it comes to storing your freeze dried foods for optimal success and rehydration
Using the proper mylar bags for long term storage is mandatory
These bags are designed to keep moisture, air, and light out of the bag and away from the foods
Ensuring that the dehydrated foods are completely moisture free before storage is important too
Mason jars can be used for short term storage, but storing them in cool, dark areas like root cellars, temperature controlled pantries, and store rooms is very important
Light and heat will degrade the food very quickly otherwise
Beware of the risk of pest infestation and activity
Keep long term storage facilities clean to deter pests
Use exterminators if necessary
Utilize pest resistant containers
