A dried food recipe is great when going for camping or backpacking and they also taste great when used as snacks. Apart from being light, dried food is also small and can fit well into the pocket. Almost any food can be dried ranging from meats to eggs, vegetables, fruits, and cereals. When dried, these foods can last for as long as 2 years, although it is good to rotate them such that they are consumed within 6 to 12 months when their vitality and taste are still great. Dried foods are a solution when you do not need to carry heavy and bulky jars and cans of food.

How to make dry foods

Ready-made dried foods can be obtained from supermarkets or any bulk food store. Such food includes dried fruit, noodles, dried onions and tomatoes, oatmeal, chili mixes, soup packets and many more. Other people prefer homemade dried food and the easiest way to make them is using a dehydrator. Dehydrators are easy to use and require little supervision and maintenance, making it a favorite of those that love dried food especially for snacking. A dried food recipe can also be made using an oven, although this takes much more time than with dehydrators. In this case, set the oven on the lowest and leave the door slightly open.

Making dry meats and vegetables

For the meat lovers, it is recommended that the fatty oils be first removed from any meat because they go rancid and bring bad taste to the jerky. The next step is to slice the meat into thin pieces that can dry easily and then marinade it by adding sauce and seasonings. Meats can be marinated overnight while fish or chicken can take between 3-4 hours. This is followed by drying using a towel, then placing them in the dehydrator. The time and the temperature that is required depending on the instructions on the machine. For fruit lovers, the first thing is to choose favorite fruits, then make individual or mixture puree using a blender. The puree is then poured into the fruit roll sheet, and then ran for a period of up to 8 hours. Depending on the fruit type, others can take as low as 4 hours to dry.

Rules of drying

• Avoid mixing flavors. It is important to dry certain flavors differently and not mix them as they may taste and smell nasty. For example, do not mix onions and fruits such as bananas.

• Handle oily food carefully to avoid spoilage. Oil makes dry food go rancid and it is important to remove it before drying. Also, cook the food using less oil and rinse off the grease in the meats before drying them.

• Dehydrate using the right temperature. This ensures that the foods are safe to eat, as they are not under-dried or over-dried. The temperature for drying meat is not the same as that of drying fruits.

A dried food recipe is great at any time, whether at home or on a backpack trip. It should however be handled in the best way possible to ensure that they taste great, are in good condition and are safe for consumption.

When it comes to buying emergency dried and frozen foods most of the people are skeptical about it. You wouldn’t blame them for this approach more so because buying something that you are not aware of its origins or how it has been grown is quite a big risk. But what if you would get a company that was putting your interests and your health first? Then would you consider buying from one of these companies? If your answer is yes, the Legacy food storage could be the company you’re looking for. Here are other reasons why considering legacy food storage as your preferred storage could be the smartest move you have ever made. To start off, the company is not shy to compare its advances in the industry with the competitors and it is an aggressive advertiser of how well it has done in its niche. Everyone knows how making such a bold step requires one to have some significant evidence to back up their story and legacy foods has more than enough to say confidently it is the best in the market.

GMO has been received with worldwide criticism. Why would anyone try to alter what God gave us? He gave it to us the best way he knew how and blessed the lands with fertility to produce and sustain growth. Legacy Food Storage is an avid believer of this that is why it ensures that all the food that comes from their stores is not GMO. They offer their buyers 100% GMO free certified products and they also ensure that they do not use any ingredient that has traces of genetically modified organisms. This goes a long way to make sure that their clients are not only satisfied with what they get but also that they have trust in the company. Aside from ensuring that their products do not contain any traces of GMOs, they have also ensured that their foods contain 50% less sodium content. As if that is not enough, they also ensure that their products do not contain any hydrogenated oils, MSG, artificial flavors, yeast extract pr even caramel colors. What they are more focused on is not only offering the masses good products, but also those that are ultimately healthy and right for consumption.

Additionally, the company offers free shipping for any order made to them that exceeds $98. Needless to mention, this saves the buyer a lot of trouble in terms of transportation and logistics of the same. This is more so because with the company, they have the right tools to transport the foodstuffs which takes a huge weight off the shoulders of the buyers.

After a recent upgrade of their website, Legacy Food Storage has gone a step further to make the process of buying their products much simpler. As much as one can’t buy their products directly from their website, they can do the same from the website of their sister company. This makes the process simple and convenient not to mention stress free for the buyer.

It is rarely that you would find a company going out of its way to ensure that the consumer gets the best. However, Legacy Food Storage has done this to take the load off the shoulders of the consumer to allow them have a stress free experience and a great product that they can trust.

It is common knowledge there are many reasons that explain why dried meats are very demanded products and for very good reasons. It is out the question that with so many features and benefits the majority of buyers and users rate it as a top solution for staving off hunger and avoiding kids to eat junk food, among many other problem solving features. This is possible due to a wide array of benefits which you will automatically get as you acquire and eat it. In order to understand the many ways it can benefit you, I will mention some of the most important benefits next.

Benefit # 1 – High protein intake in dried meats, which can be considered as a raw food package that includes raw bacteria which is great for digestion. With the proliferation of junk food it is hard to find food like this one; fortunately it is a very popular option among people who are interested in their health and that of their loved ones. This benefit has been mentioned as number one for many reasons and the first one is that it's one of the most nutritive and healthy foods around. It is no wonder it is the number one choice when picking among the most convenient options, flavor and presentation wise. Although this benefit is really important and worth mentioning, it is not the only one, which leads us to the following pointer next.

Benefit # 2 – A world of micro nutrients. As it was mentioned above, macro nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fats are the building blocks of any diet but they are not the only elements that comprise a healthy one. As an example of this, enzymes are of the essence. These components are not only necessary for a healthy ingestion of micro nutrients but they help to increase the meat's flavor, often dramatically.

Benefit # 3-Improvements in a human being's immune system. The aforementioned benefits make way to this one. Last, but not least it is important to remember that an appropriate diet provides the body with quality fuel. The result of the aforementioned process is simple, improved health thanks to a stronger immune system and less load on the body to process food thanks to dried meats.

Although there are a myriad of extra benefits I have written the top rated ones by consumers and industry experts alike. By choosing a quality high protein source of food, an individual will make sure they are consuming the best possible available option. By including a healthy array of micro nutrients a savvy buyer will be fueling their body and the bodies of their loved ones with healthy and delicious food. By having a healthy diet with dried meats consumption a person will increase the effectiveness of their immune system considerably. A second to none flavor should have been included in the list, but it is common knowledge that dried meats taste wonderful, to the point that it is the preferred snack of countless kids worldwide; nutrition has never been more delicious.
