Why Choose Freeze-Dried Emergency Food?

Shelf Life

There is a direct correlation between moisture content and shelf life. The lower the moisture, the longer the shelf life. While home dehydrators remove around 80% of water content, commercial-grade dehydration can achieve up to 90%. However, freeze-dried foods, which can last 25 years or more, are the gold standard for long-term storage. Store them in a cool, dark, and dry location to maximize their shelf life.

Preparation

Preparing freeze-dried food is straightforward—simply add water and enjoy once rehydrated. The taste and texture are almost identical to the original. Dehydrated foods, on the other hand, often require boiling, which can take around 20 minutes.

Nutrition

Freeze-drying food retains about 97% of its original nutrients, making it nutritionally comparable to fresh food once rehydrated. Dehydrated food retains only about 60-75% of its original nutrients.

Taste

Flavor is crucial. Freeze-drying better preserves the food’s original flavor, texture, and aroma compared to dehydration, which uses heat that may result in some loss of flavor, nutrients, and texture. Most agree that freeze-dried foods taste superior.
