Why Buy Bulk Freeze Dried Food?

Having an emergency food supply should be part of every family's emergency preparedness plan, and bulk freeze dried food is an excellent way to ensure a shelf-stable, long-term supply of quality food.

In fact, if you are building an emergency fund in the bank for times of income loss or an unexpected, expensive emergency, you should consider building several months' supply of food in your home for similar reasons. If you become unemployed or have a dramatic loss of income, your food storage will keep your family fed while you switch gears and look for employment or other income opportunities.

Whether you're interested in buying a quantity of food for camping, hiking and outdoor activities, or want to be prepared in case of need, buying in quantity helps save money and time. Keep reading to find more information and resources on bulk freeze dried food.

Buying Bulk Freeze Dried Food Online

The best way to purchase bulk freeze dried food is online, where the price, selection and convenience can't be beat. Freshness is also an important aspect to keep in mind when purchasing, as bulk freeze dried food sold through authorized distributors, such as Nitro-Pak Mountain House Freeze-Dried Food, guarantees freshness and maximum shelf life for your food.

Foods may be purchased by the individual can, of course, but a bulk purchase, such as the Family Preparedness Pak, brings down the cost per serving considerably.

Consider going in on a bulk order with a friend to save on costs and to best acquire the amount of food you need for your family's preparedness plan.

How to Store Bulk Freeze Dried Food

Maximizing shelf life

The great thing about food preserved through the freeze drying process is that shelf life is 25 years for unopened containers. This shelf life may be lengthened by keeping bulk freeze dried foods in a cool, dry environment.

Once opened, the food should be used within a few months, but some will still last for years after opening, especially in dry climates.

We keep our survival food, including freeze-dried entrees, dried fruits, vegetables, and meats, canned good, bulk dry grains, a hand-crank grain mill, bulk oils and sugars and salt, all on sturdy metal shelving in our basement where it stays cool and dry. Keeping the food organized by type is a good idea, so you can see at a glance what you have and know what you need to add to your emergency food storage.

We rotate the items with shorter shelf lives, such as the water, canned goods and dried food, using items as they get close to expiration and replacing them with fresh items. In this way we maintain our bulk food storage without any of the food becoming outdated or spoiled.

It's important to store foods you will eat and your family enjoys, and the best way to do this is to use the items you store on a regular basis, first replacing them with fresh items.
