Maximize your food storage shelf life
There are four factors to consider when storing dry foods: temperature, moisture content, container atmosphere, and storage container. With careful attention to these four factors soft grains enjoy a life of 8 years; hard grains 15-20 years; beans 8-10 years; dehydrated vegetables 8-10 years; dehydrated dairy products 5-10 years; pasta 10-15 years; honey, sugar and salt should keep indefinitely if stored free of moisture.

and make sure to disinfect before use. If necessary, treat your water with a chlorine bleach solution prior to storage. Replace water every six months. |
