Storage Of Dehydrated Foods; Customer Assistance - Eastman Outdoors 38254 Mode D'emploi

Storage of Dehydrated Foods

The storage area should be cool, dry and as dark as possible. The
darker and cooler the storage area, the longer the dried foods will last
with good quality and nutritive value.
The ideal storage temperature for dehydrated food is below freezing up
to 60°F. The ideal storage place is in your freezer or refrigerator most
particularly for storing dried meats, fish and vegetables.
All dried foods should be stored in clean, dry and airtight, and moisture
proof containers. Package all dried foods promptly after patting dry with
paper towels to soak up any excess oils. Packaging the dried foods
promptly after dehydrating helps to prevent the foods from becoming
contaminated and sticking to each other. Re-hydration caused by
humidity can occur quickly after dehydrating.
Home vacuum packaging appliances are ideal for packaging dried
foods. They can dramatically extend the shelf life of dried foods by 3 to
4 times.
Do not store fruits and vegetables together in the same storage
container because the flavors and moisture will transfer between foods.
