Storing Dried Foods
Once food is properly dried it is important to store it properly for best results. By following
these storage techniques, your food will stay fresh and ready-to-use for the longest time
possible.
Containers
Any container which is clean, airtight, and moisture-proof is suitable for storage. Heavy,
zippered plastic bags or heat sealing cooking bags are excellent. Fill each bag as much
as possible and squeeze out excess air. Filled bags may be placed in metal cans with lids
(shortening or coffee cans are good) to keep out insects. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids can
be used with or without plastic bags. Quality plastic containers with tight-fitting lids are good
but they must be airtight. Do not use paper or cloth bags, lightweight plastic bags, bread
wrappers, or any container without a tight-fitting lid.
