Look at my new post - 5 Freeze Dried Food Recipes You Will Want To Make At Home

Guest post shared by: NuHarvestFoods.com

The popularity of freeze dried food is rising. It is considered invaluable amongst many from preparedness-minded groups to highly active health foodies. When stored properly, such as in our Mylar bags or #10 cans, freeze dried food can last up to 25 years for long term food storage! It is highly portable, being extremely lightweight, and only requires re-hydration to consume, no cooking required! Best of all, freeze dried food retains nearly all of its original nutrition, flavor, and texture prior to preparation- making it ideal for a delicious and healthy snack (no compromising!) for when you’re on-the-go.
