Home Dehydrated Food Shelf Life

Many people know that I am a huge fan of dehydrating. There are so many benefits and the shelf life is amazing. In fact, lets take a look at the four major factors that will affect the shelf life of your home dehydrated foods.

   1. Temperature
   2. Moisture
   3. Oxygen
   4. Light


Temperature

Temperature affects storage time the most. The cooler the better. Most official guideline statistics for shelf life are based on ‘room temperature’, or 70 degrees F (21 C).

Each drop of 10 degrees F (5.5 C) will double the shelf life! That is pretty significant.

60 F instead of 70 F will double a 1 yr storage to 2 yrs, which may simply be the difference between storing your food upstairs in the pantry or downstairs in the basement (assuming you have a basement).

Likewise, when foods are stored in warmer temperatures, you will lose shelf life at the same proportion. 80 F instead of 70 F will halve the storage life. This fact may be more of a concern for those that don’t have a basement to conveniently store food in a cool environment.

One thing that I miss, having moved from the Northeast US to California more than a decade ago, is having a basement. Many homes here are built on slabs, where outdoor temperatures don’t freeze to extremes like other parts of the country (where deep foundations are required, and thus a basement). Without a basement, use your common sense and simply beware of storing food in places where temperatures will be higher than normal.
 
Moisture

The process of dehydrating removes most of the moisture from foods while retaining much of the nutritional value and flavor. It is a great method to preserve your harvested fruits and vegetables for later consumption off-season.

Fruits will typically contain about 75 percent moisture when fresh, and should be dehydrated to a 20 percent moisture level, the point at which they become leathery and pliable. Apparently, it is OK for fruits to be dried to this ‘pliable’ level rather than a lower ‘brittle’ moisture level because the natural sugars and acids in fruit act as an added preservative.

Vegetables must be dehydrated to a moisture level around 5 percent, the point at which they become crisp and brittle, and will break if bent.
 
Oxygen

Oxygen will interact with, and break down fats and proteins resulting in poor flavor and eventual spoilage. Fruits and vegetables only have small amounts of fat and protein but will still oxidize over a period of time when stored in an environment containing oxygen. Oxygen absorbers are commonly used inside long term food storage containers.
 
Light

Photons from light will also eventually break down fats and proteins as well as vitamins in the food, resulting in poor flavor and possibly eventual spoilage.

Dehydrated Fruit and Vegetable Shelf Life


‘Shelf Life’, when referring to survival food storage, is typically defined as the maximum amount of food storage time whereby the food will not spoil and still contribute to keeping you alive. Shelf Life, when referring to grocery store and typical food packaging labels, is defined as the length of time that the food will still taste its best and retain most all of its nutritional value, usually far before actual spoilage. Having said that, shelf life is a subjective thing, and may fall somewhere in between the two extremes.

Generally speaking, home dried fruits will have a shelf life of about 6 months to 1 year, if stored in glass mason jars and in a dark, dry, and cool environment (the cooler, the better).

The shelf life of home dried vegetables vary depending on the vegetable itself, but some say it is about half that of home dehydrated fruit. I believe it’s safe to say that it will generally be between 6 months to 1 year. Some claim storage life success of several years, but again, storage conditions will change storage life by either increasing, or even decreasing if stored poorly.

Store-bought dehydrated fruits and vegetables processed specifically for long term storage will be prepared, dried, and packaged in processes that bring moisture content down to as low as 3 percent, and will store much, much longer (I’ve seen claims of 25 years in #10 cans if stored properly).

My opinion and experience with home-dehydrated storage and shelf life is that 6 months to 1 year has been fine for me because the following growing season I am growing all new foods. So as long as they last during the off-season, which is quite simple to achieve, then I’m personally okay with that (some of my long term food storage supplies are not home dried, but professionally manufactured). As long as I am able to grow my own food each year, our home dehydration method works just fine.

Vacuum Sealing, Mason Jar, or Zip Lock Bag

In my opinion it is debatable whether vacuum sealing home-dehydrated food will add significant shelf life in most practical situations. Common sense tells me that it will definitely add some storage time, but I’m not so sure how significant that will be assuming we’re talking about foods that are already dehydrated, and are being stored in normal conditions (cool, dark, dry – mason jar), and will be replenished during the following growing season.

Granted that opening and closing a mason jar lid to remove some of the product when needed, will reintroduce fresh air and oxygen into the jar. However, so long as the air in the room isn’t laden with moisture, it would seem not to be such a big concern. If you live in a very humid environment, I can see an advantage though. Some vacuum sealers also have an attachment for mason jars to remove the air. Vacuum sealing in vacuum seal bags will definitely save space too.

Having said all that, I just don’t think it is a huge difference to vacuum seal versus using a mason jar when we’re talking about foods that will only last a year or so anyway… (although some claim to get several years from home dehydrated fruits and vegetables when stored well).

I believe that Zip Lock Bags are a fine alternative too. They take up less space than jars. I am a little leery about the effectiveness of the seal when compared to a mason jar with the nice lid. Quite often I have experienced these bags not holding a nice seal, even after ‘burping’ the bags quite efficiently.

I personally like the mason jars because I can easily see the foods inside while on the shelf, and they are convenient and easy to handle and use. Again, since I’m only dealing with shelf life requirements of 1 year maximum for my home grown foods, I don’t feel a need to use vacuum sealed bags. Don’t get me wrong, we love to use vacuum sealed bags on other items around the homestead, like on some of our other storage items such as 5 pound bags of flour – for convenience – although storing in 5 gallon buckets with Mylar is even better for longer term storage. We’ll save all that for another post some other time

Prepping 101 - Where Do I Start?

For those of you wishing to be a little more prepared the biggest question is "Where do I start?".
The answer is quite simple. Don't buy anything until you've inventoried what you do have. It makes no sense to have an abundance of one item and a complete lack of something else. A good inventory of what you currently have on hand will show you the direction in which your preparedness efforts should be going.

If you're an avid hunter,with a fairly good arsenal already, buying more guns may not help you if you run out of food or water before the ammo plays out. Perhaps you're into gardening and canning and have a lot of canned items sitting on the shelves in your pantry or storeroom but don't own a gun. Either way you could have problems. So take an inventory! See what you have and write down what you need.You will also need to have a balance in your preparations.

Once you know where you stand on the basics of food, water,health, shelter and clothing, gear, education and protection, the next step is to develop a budget and a plan to get there. Next allocate a portion of your budget to each phase of your preparations. Then proceed toward being better prepared. It's easier than you think.

Prepping 101:

1.) Take an inventory of FOOD items you have in stock and compare it with your daily use to
determine the quantity needed to meet your short or long term goals. (dry goods, canned goods, etc.).

2.) Determine the items you have that will cover your WATER needs (storage containers, filters, purification methods, etc.).

3.) Figure out the items you need to address any HEALTH issues (glasses, prescription meds, first aid kits, etc.).

4.) Check your SHELTER status (temporary and permanent) and CLOTHING inventory (for both summer and winter) to determine any deficiencies in either category.

5.) Sort through your GEAR and equipment (camping, household items, and tools) and decide where you can improve things. Special Note: GEAR should always include the ability to make a fire for cooking and heat.

6.) Provide for EDUCATION materials (books, seminars, traing classes, etc.) so that you can increase your skills and knowledge base.

7.) Finally make sure you cover any needed items for your PROTECTION (guns, ammo, etc.).

8.) And above all other things, practice SAFETY at all times in your food storage, your medical preps, using your tools or your guns.

So determine what your budget will be and work towards your short or long term goals.

Hopefully, this will get you started towards being better prepared.

PZ Radio - "Surviving The Economic Collapse" with author Fernando "FerFAL" Aguirre

I am really excited about this interview. I have been emailing Fernando on and off for about a 8 months now and I am glad to finally be able to get him on PZ Radio.

Fernando lived through Argentina's 2001 financial collapse. He is also still living in Argentina, where after ten years of the peso hyperinflating, life is still going on. But it is not what was, it is the  "New Normal."

If you want to get a glimpse of what I belive the US will look like if we go down the path of financial hardship, then Argentina is the place to look.

This is a part one of a two part interview that lasted over two hours. We covered everything and some things were down right troubling to know that what Fernando described. They quiet possibly will take place here in our own nation.

So sit up and listen to this show, and just to warn you, this show is not for the weak of heart.

Remember, You're Listening To PZ Radio.

The Day the Dollar Died

On Sept 27th I published an article titled " How I Believe The Dollar Will Die."
Today, The National Inflation Association released a short You Tube video titled "The Day The Dollar Died."
Although they have a few minor different details, we both agree to the outcome, the death of the dollar.
Here is the latest video from NIA. Please watch this and take serious note, this is the same thing I have been preaching now for a couple years as well as the same outcome.

Shopping For Survival Supplies

By Ray Gano
When your walking around a store – any store – and your doing your shopping, how often do you think about your survival supplies? Is it something you make a list of and make a special trip to town? Or do you incorporate your survival supplies shopping into your everyday life?
Lets take the other day for example, Tracye and I went shopping at the local super Wally-World. While we were walking through the store, I picked up a 2 pack of strike on box matches. At 250 matches per box, that is 500 matches.
I took inventory of my matches a while back, and it came to like 6 or 7 boxes of 250 matches per box. So that equals out to around 1,500 – 1,700 matches. I am one who believes you can never have to many means to make fire, so I picked up another 500. I also got a box of  Federal 9mm ammo, 12 gauge #4 shot.
When we got to the food section, we checked our grocery list and as I was walking around I grabbed 2 jars of peanut butter to put up. One can never have to much peanut butter.
My wife picked up some corn bread mix for this weekend. While we were standing there in the isle, I was wondering “how well corn bread mix would store in vaccum sealed bags with oxygen absorbers? The mix has an expiration date of 2013. Right now with the holidays they were .47 cents per box. How can you pass that one up? That is the kind of stuff I think about when shopping. So we got some extra boxes
Here is what I added to my preps from this trip -

50 rounds of Federal 9mm ammo
25 rounds 12 gauge #4 shot – #4 is great for small game - rabbit - squirrel - etc
2 jars of peanut butter
5 boxes of corn bread mix
2 boxes strike on box matches
The ammo is going to be put in their boxes and stored, peanut butter, corn bread mix and matches will be stored.
If I did not get the ammo, the cost of the food and matches was under $10.00
I see new preppers / survivalist that put a lot of time an effort into their preps. If I put a “lot” of time and effort into it, I would probably get burned out. So I try to take the slow and steady approach. This is why it has to be a lifestyle. Prepping is what you do all the time, and you do this by taking baby steps. An item here, jar of something there and once you do this for a month or two, you will be amazed at how much supplies you have on hand.
One of the problems that I see especially today, is that people put “too” much time and effort into survivalism. Yea, I know this is an "oxymoron" statement, but hear me out. They feel like they are behind the "8 ball" and they are trying to play catch up. They are prepping in a panic and always on the "go" with their preps. Its like they jump in with both feet, take off running, but after a while get tired and drop out of the race. This is why I say take baby steps. Think like a turtle and be slow yet steady. Or think like a squirrel, a squirrel buries 1 nut at a time.
It is never to late to start, in fact right now with the holidays, it is an excellent time to start. There are many great deals on food as well as supplies. You can save a lot of money because all the stores are compeating for your christmas food and gift dollars.
In the prepping world January is when many of the mormon churches start the preps. Because of this many, prepping companies, like Shelf Reliance have great sales on their shelves and supplies.  Provident Provisions, a long term food company, has great sales going on now till around March. Do your research and look around at long term prep companies and see what you need, odds are that you can find what you need on sale.
Now is a great time to start your preps, things are on sale and the ability to take baby steps will allow you to really make a good prepping effort in a short amount of time without buring out. Remember the corn bread mix? When you see sales like that, buy extra, you will be glad you did.
When I find good deals, I will try to share them with you so that you can take advantage of the savings as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to answer your questions.

Austerity Measures Coming To America

By Ray Gano
Austerity measures - In economics, austerity is when a government reduces its spending and/or increases user fees to pay back creditors. Austerity is usually required when a government's fiscal deficit spending is felt to be unsustainable. - source -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity_measures
IF you were like me, you were watching the new speaker of the House, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, as he told a crowd of supporters, "This is not a time for celebration."
He went on to say, "It is a time to roll up our sleeves and go to work. We can celebrate when small businesses begin hiring again. We can celebrate when the spending binge here in Washington has stopped. And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned the trust of the people that it serves."
While I am very glad at the republican sweep in the elections, this sweep will not stop what has already been put into action by the Federal Reserve
See no matter what, the Federal Reserve is still moving forward with thier plans to purchase US debt with money printed out of thin air. The fancy name for this is quantitative easing.
What this will do is drive government bond yields to levels that we have not seen since the great depression. The US dollar is now moving into "junk bond" status.
What is going to take place is higher inflation, in fact it is believed that the inflation is going to be so much that it is goign to cause a major shake- up in currency and bond markets globally.
The outcome will be huge price increases, and again it does not matter who is in office, congress or senate; the Federal Reserve, a privately held corporating of banking elites are doing this. There is nothing "federal" about this organization. They are the ones who control the money and they do not care how many lives will pay for thier usery and greed.
In fact, just three weeks ago silver was siting around the $19.00 range. Today it is $26.69. It was $24.00 just two days ago, that is till the Feds announced that they were in fact going to enact QEII.
Now, there is a chance,very slim, but a chance that we can possibly escape some of what is before us. But what it will take is massive amounts of sacrifice. 
The new speaker of the House, Rep. John Boehner said, "It is a time to roll up our sleeves..."
Like it or not, "rolling up our sleves" means Austerity Measures are coming to America.
On Nov 2,201 the United Kingdom's PM David Cameron's coalition government announced massive cuts to the military and social housing in an attempt to reign in out of control deficits before addressing a very large debt. 
In France, an estimated one million protesters took to the streets against austerity measures proposed by the Sarkozy government which would raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. Well, our retirement age is 65, so personally France can suck this up. But what they are looking at here in the US is to move the retirement age from 65 to 70. 
Greece's economy has collapsed, and now Portugal's President is warning of a major crisis unless thier new austerity budget is accepted. Ireland is not be far behind in collapsing.
Europe is facing hard lifestyle changes, and the US is not far behind them.
On February 18, 2010, President Obama signed an executive order called "The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform." He did this by executive order because Senate was unable to pass a bill agreeing to a binding all powerful fiscal commission. Yet another abuse of power from this president.
Like the many other draconian "Czars" he has given power too, this commission will also wield authority and power.
On Nov 1, 2010  the Deficit Commission used the New York Times as a messenger service to tell politicians — and us the American people exactly what they intend to do if Republicans win the House and a good number of seats in senate.
It’s all there in black and white: They’ll cut benefits, increase the financial burden on the middle class, and make sure that wealthy Americans aren’t troubled by the kind of sacrifices everyone else will be expected to make so we do not default on our debt.
Here are the quick points...
(1) The average family health plan in the United States cost $13,770 in 2010. At a Federal tax rate of 25%, that’s $3,440 in new taxes — and the costs of these plans keeps skyrocketing. Employers would pass these costs on to employees, and would probably also reduce benefits (which is permitted to some extent under the new law) in order to reduce their own costs.
(2) The loss in middle-class wealth through plunging household assets is one part of the problem. Another is the fact that so many homeowners are paying mortgages based on grossly inflated home values, since banks have not had to write down any of the principal on these loans. And the bank bailout has not “broken even” or “made the taxpayer money,” despite reports that suggest otherwise.
(3) About those “unnamed supporters”: “Unnamed” by who, exactly? By Calmes herself, apparently. Are they “supporters” of the Commission, of eliminating these tax breaks, or of something else? Are they Commission staffers, or do they work for an advocacy group of some kind? Colmes doesn’t say. Has she read the New York Times’own policy about unnamed sources? Unattributed sources are only to be used for clearly stated reasons, which should be provided in the article. But then, disclosure have never been the Deficit Commission’s strong suit.
(4) Social Security’s fully funded through 2037, and then 75% funded after that. Lifting the cap on the payroll (FICA) tax would fix it forever. But Republicans will resist that, so your benefits are going to be cut instead. How? By raising the retirement age and altering the price index and cost-of-living formulas. That would come to an estimated 16.5% across-the-board cut in benefits – all because Republicans have drawn a line in the sand.
Co-chairs Alan Simpson (former Republican Senator from Wyoming) and Erskine Bowles (Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff) have promised, as basically ordered by our illustrious President. That everything will be on the table when it comes to balancing the budget, including social security, taxes, the military, and Medicare.
Does this need to be done? Yes it does.
But will those who govern, lead and make all the laws do the right thing? I pray that enough constitutional conservatives made it into the house and have the fortitude enough to stand when they see present day evil making headway.
I also pray that Republicans take seriously that the people of the United States have spoken. We are sick and tired of the abuse and we want it stopped now.
Now I have to say that I am encouraged by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky)and the speaches he has been giving. The president is saying compremise and McConnell is saying "no you are going to what the American people want." I like his tough, take no prisoners, draw the line in the sand attitude.
Now how long it lasts and will they stand firm is another thing.
If sacrifices are spread out evenly and if we as a nation turn back to God, I can see us making our way through this storm. It will be difficult, but it is possible. But it will mean sacrifice as a nation.
What I fear is that those in power will take the easy way out. That most likely is create a major war effort. That has always been the answer when the FIAT Model starts to break down. Just in case you do not know, America is based upon the FIAT monitary system, and she has always conducts a major war effort to try to get ourselves out of debt.
History has shown this time and time again.
When we could not fix our debt in the 1800's, we had the civil war. When we could not fix our debt in the 1930's we went to war. This is why I say that the odds are very good that we will go to war. Odds are also good that we will ramp up our military machine and go to war with Iran.
If we do not go to war, then we will continue to try to spend our way out, which we all know that is a dead end street that will result in entering a sever depression / hyperinflation even quicker. 
Austerity Measures are coming to America, we have been officially warned by John Boehner and no matter what, it will be carried out and we will feel the pain. To which direction we take, will be seen.
Will they send our young men and women across the sea to shed their innocent blood to pay for the banksters and Wall Street exececutives massive greed?
OR...
Will they just sacrifice America on the pire of Mammon and let this nation sink into third world status wiping out the middle class and stealing just about every bit of wealth the American people have built.
Both of these senarios will send this nation into an "econimic winter" where not much growth and great hardship will take place.
I have to be honest and say that there are times I do not relish the job God has given me. I know that many people are excited with the turnout of the elections and I know am raining on their parade, being doom and gloom and seem to always be pointing out the negative.
But I am a Watchman, called upon by God. I have got to sound the warning, the fire is in my bones. But not only that, the blood of the innocent will be upon my hands if I stand silent.
Scripture says...
Ezekiel 33:6-7  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7  So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Therefore, I must sound the alarm.
So what does the road look like possibly ahead?
We will probably see a "positive bump" in the markets, things will seem to be doing well. As a matter of fact the markets are reacting in the positive these last few weeks because "stock prices" are up. What they fail to see is that they are up due to inflation. In other words it is taking more dollars to purchase the stock than it did say a month or so ago.
The stock prices are not going up, the buying power of the dollar is going down. Don't believe me, look at the price of gold - $1,396.50. Gold and silver has consistantly been going up since July.
If a positive speed bump takes place, we may see the price of gold and silver drop for a bit(if it does, buy silver). This will be the calm before the storm. Things will seem to be rosy, but it will be only for a season. We will still have the same problems, same issues and the same gigantic mountainous debt facing us. Then the tide will change and we will see massive inflation take place in just a matter of days.
What do we do?
We need to be doing all that we can to prepare our selves spiritually, mentally and physically for the sake of the Gospel. Many will be hurting and need the hope that we have to offer in Jesus Christ our Lord.
If you have not protected your wealth, then I would start finding mediums of wealth to purchase like silver. If a drop comes, that will be the time to purchase silver, it will skyrocket after that.
If you want to learn more about silver, get Prophezine's Christian Guide To Silver.(http://www.prophezine.com/pz_store/)
In fact here is what PZ Insider Danny said...
"I'm new to investing in silver and I have to tell you that your "Christian's Guide to Silver" DVD is a "wealth" of information.  After watching the DVD, I was able to find over $30 worth of silver just sitting in my closet. Coins that I would have eventually rolled up and cashed in at the bank or just spent for far less than $30.  This DVD has already paid for itself and then some. Everyone who wants to learn about investing in silver should watch this DVD!"  
It is up to those of us who are the laymen who must be ready. Many of The pastors and shepherds have let us down, seeking approval of the world, instead of standing with the Word of God.
I believe God is seperating the wheat from the chaff. He is calling laymen to be ready for service. We must be ready to stand with boldness and credibility and to not be burdened as to where our next meal comes from or where to lay our head. We have been good stewards and we have prepared for the coming storm.
Finally, I leave you with the following...
Ephesians 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
