Dehydrated Foods

There are some things that it is just impossible to dehydrate at home. Most people accept that dairy foods and fats cannot be part of their long-term storage foods. However, it is entirely possible to have the taste of some of our favorites, such as:

Eggs
Cheese
Butter
Margarine
Shortening

Eggs: I have tried to dehydrate eggs, and the result is really less than appetizing. The only way I’ve found to create a palatable egg dish is to cook a scrambled egg and turkey sausage mix and then dehydrate it. It rehydrates well, but the eggs still tend to be a bit rubbery.

Flavor, Appeal, Variety - Just in Case

Cheese: I also tried to dehydrate some grated cheddar cheese. It dried, but it was a greasy mess and didn't rehydrate worth anything. Since I consider cheese a staple, finding dehydrated cheese has been a real treat.

Butter? That’s right. This is a powder made with real butter that will last for an average of seven years. It reconstitutes with a little water, or can be used in powdered form in baking or sprinkled directly on vegetables. The margarine powder works the same way, although it only stores for a little over five years

Shortening: Good news. It is possible to have some fundamental staples in your food stores without the necessity of refrigeration or heavy containers.

While the home dehydrating is limited, these dehydrated food powders are high quality, store for years, and are the perfect addition to one's food storage plan. Of course you can try dehydrating any one of those items at home, but you will have an absolute mess!

Most of these commercially dehydrated staples come in #10 cans and can be rehydrated in single-serving quantities with just a bit of water. When used in baking, the powder can be added to the dry ingredients with just a simple increase in the liquid ingredients.

French toast without cracking an egg

For example, when you want to have a scrambled egg breakfast, you use 2 tablespoons of the dehydrated whole egg powder and mix it with an equal amount of water. The mixture can be used to create tasty and nutritious omelettes and French toast. In addition, there is no danger of salmonella either because the manufacturer tests all dehydrated egg products with the analysis methods approved by the USRDA.

The shelf life of these products is another reason why they should be added to your stores. Fresh eggs, butter and margarine can only be stored with refrigeration and for a very limited period of time. Shortening can be stored for a little longer; however, no canned or dried foods that you buy in a regular grocery store have a shelf-life of about 2 years.

Dehydrated foods - perfect for survival storage

Not so with dehydrated foods. For instance, the #10 can of powdered whole eggs have an estimated shelf life of 5-9 years! Additionally, each can is equal to 4 dozen eggs. That’s a lot of omelets!

Before you decide that you are going to have a limited menu selection in the event of a survival situation, consider adding dehydrated foods to your long-term food storage program. Your family will thank you!
