We live in a culture filled with disasters, both natural and man made. It is wise to have an emergency food supply to sustain your family for at least 90 days.
There are many companies taking advantage of not only prudent survival steps but also the fears many people have of a coming global apocalypse.
It is good to have buckets of beans and rice along with seeds and a good water supply. But there are companies selling freeze dried meals AS IF these e foods are the Savior of any future catastrophic event. They are also going as far as to proclaim these same families should eat this food on a daily basis.
I have two issues. The amount of sodium in these pre-packaged freeze dried meals and the very fact they are freeze dried.
You do know you are not supposed to overcook your veggies because you will kill the enzymes? In fact the kill point is 117 degrees Fahrenheit after the minutes.
Freeze drying is a heat process. The product may start out as frozen, but it is then placed in a vacuum chamber for three days and hit with an average temp of 135 degrees to get the water particles to change from ice to a vapor.
Let’s see…117 for three minutes kills enzymesand freeze drying is 135 for three days. Do the math.
In any emergency food storage plan, you must find a way of being able to supply your body with nutrients from live whole foods or you will get scurvy or become unhealthy from malnutrition.
I have found Nuriche Live to be the best source of fruits and veggies for emergency food storage. The powder was created under the enzymatic kill point and has a 2 year shelf life.
I am sure this all makes sense, but if you choose to stock the ready to eat, freeze dried, enzymatically dead an SODIUM rich meals, please also make sure you are within close proximity of a heart surgeon.
