Storing dried food
■
Allow the dried food to cool down sufficiently and then pack it promptly.
■
To prevent spoilage or delay it as long as possible, the dried food should
be kept dry, cool, protected from light and packed in an airtight container.
You can use screw-top jars, canning jars or sealable plastic jars or you can
vacuum seal the dehydrated food. The maximum storage temperature should
be room temperature, but ideally around 10–15°C (e.g. in a cool cellar or
storage room).
■
It is better to store several small portions rather than one large one.
■
To minimise the exposure to moisture and oxygen, open the packaging of the
dried food as seldom as possible.
■
The spoilage process is slowed down by the drying process, but not com-
pletely stopped. Poor storage conditions in particular can affect the shelf life
of the dried food. To be on the safe side, check the stored dried food for
possible mould or rotten spots before eating it.
■
The shelf life of the dried goods can vary greatly and can be several months
to years depending on the drying and storage conditions. The better the
conditions, the longer shelf life.
