Interesting post. Keeping food fresh seems to have become easier with more advanced storage options. Keeping food fresh longer can certainly benefit any budget. Great read.

Diatomateous earth is also good for killing insects in grains.
We’ve tried it and have had good results thus far.

Comment on Oxygen Absorber Use in Long Term Food Storage by June Smith

I have put silica gel in mason jars with home-dried foods but this year intend to try O2 absorber packets, too. My thought re storing unused packets is to bury them in clean white sand, within a mason jar. Sand grains are very small, should do quite well at shutting out air. Book, “Stocking UP III”, Rodale Press, p.146, says dried foods may be pasteurized by heating in oven at 175 deg F for 10 or 15 minutes. Pasteurize the sand? Good white sand is very low in mineral contaminates.

Hey, our animals are important. In a crisis who would want to watch their animals suffer, or even worse – die, all because they didn’t prepare on their behalf. I appreciate this post. It’s a valuable consideration of long term food storage.

Not sure how long they are good, but it is recommended that if you don’t use them immediately, then repackage them in an air tight container such as a mason jar shutting tight with a new canning lid.
