Description

Offered for purchase:  Beef Stew Freeze Dried.  Each bag contains one serving, about 1 1/2 cups of Stew.
NEW BAGS
!!! We are now packaging our soups and stews in wide bags so you can mix and eat out of the bag!
These are still the 7 ml mylar bags with gusseted bottoms so they will stand up on their own.  They are solid mylar, no clear window to let in light and air making these bags perfect for long term storage.  Bags with clear windows tend to let in air so that cuts down on their storage time.  We think you'll love the new bags!!!!!
If you want to eat directly out of the bag, remove the oxygen absorber and add boiling water to the bag, mix well and let the stew rehydrate, then Enjoy!!
About Freeze Drying
Freeze drying is a low temperature dehydrating process which involves freezing the product, lowering pressure, then removing the ice by sublimation. This is in contrast to dehydration by most conventional methods that evaporate water using heat.
Freeze drying results in a high quality product because of the low temperature used in processing. The original shape of the product is maintained and quality of the re-hydrated product is excellent.
How to eat this product
Add water to the contents of this bag.  If you are mixing directly in the mylar bag, please remove the oxygen absorber before you add water.  Start slow and add water until it reaches the consistency you want, then it's best to wait a few minutes for the food items to re-hydrate.  They can then be heated in a microwave or in a pot over the stove or campfire.  If you want to eat directly out of the bag, please add boiling water to the bag, mix well and let the stew rehydrate, then Enjoy!!
Freeze Dried Food
Freeze Dried food is the perfect emergency food supply.  It is also good for camping as freeze dried food is extremely light in weight.  Freeze Dried food is great snack food for your family and your pets will enjoy Freeze Dried food too!  We have Liver, Beef, Turkey and Chicken snacks that your dogs and cats will love.
Unlike other methods of food preservation, freeze drying does not shrink or toughen the food, and it retains flavor, color and nutrition.
Shelf Life
Refrigerated, frozen, and canned food just don?t last very long. Freeze dried food will last up to 25 years and does not need to be to be rotated like other foods. Freeze dried food is perfect for home storage.
Nutrition
Freeze drying maintains 97% of the nutritional value of the food. Other methods of preservation, such as canning and dehydrating, use high temperatures that destroy much of the food value.
Packaging
We seal everything in FDA & USDA compliant Mylar bags.  We include an oxygen absorber which will keep your food fresh and ready to use for years.  Once the Mylar bag is opened though, be sure to seal it tightly if there are still remaining items in the bag.  Unopened, food items in the Mylar
bag are safe for 25-30 years but once opened and exposed to air, the time drops to just a few months.
Please note: We will package the product well for shipping, but due to the freeze drying process which makes the product brittle, there could be some cracking and separating.
