Q: What is the Shelf-life of your products

The suggested shelf-life of our products (opened or sealed) is 12-24 MONTHS. The reason the range is so broad is because of climate variations. Most customers can expect a long shelf-life for our products. This is assuming an average climate and original packaging. Some users prefer to repackage items in a vacuum sealed container, and this would extend the life even longer. Please be aware that high humidity and unstable room temperatures can decrease the shelf-life of dehydrated products and other food items.

Q: Do dehydrated products lose their nutritional value in processing?

Nutritive value is of primary concern these days, and many customers want to know about the food value of dehydrated vegetables versus fresh vegetables. You will be pleased to know that the nutritional content of dehydrated vegetables is nearly identical to that of fresh! The slow, air drying process preserves the nutrition while evaporating the water. Thus, you are left with concentrated nutrition pound for pound versus fresh. In fact, of all the food processing techniques available, dehydrated products maintain more of their nutrition than their frozen or canned counterparts. You can enjoy the longer shelf-life of dehydrated products, the convenience, and the taste without sacrificing the

nutrition!

Q: What does the Dry to Fresh ratio mean?

It simply shows the amount of dry product you will need to make the equivalent of the fresh. For example, if there is a 1:8 ratio, it means that 1 pound of dry product would reconstitute to 8 pounds of fresh product. Keep in mind that most dehydrated products are very light, and adding the water back to the product greatly increases the weight. For example, 1 gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds, while 1 gallon of dehydrated spinach weighs 12 ounces.

Q: What volume do your various containers hold?

We offer fout main sizes

• ZIP POUCH: Contains approximately 1 cup of product
• JAR: A plastic jar which contains 1 quart of product
• JUMBO JUG: A plastic jug which contains 1 gallon of product
• BULK BOX: A 12 x 12 x 12 box of product

Q: Can I use your products for long-term storage, or my emergency supply kit?

Absolutely! However, due to the varied needs of individuals, and family sizes, you will want to repackage the items to your exact specifications. What most people do is buy the "Bulk Box" or "Jumbo Jug" size and repackage the product using a "Seal-a-Meal" type home vacuum sealer. Once sealed in this manner, the products will last for years.
