Global-wide supply chain issues are driving the demand for goods. The cost of fuel and food is rapidly increasing. As a result, many families are looking to save money. According to the USDA, the average American family wastes about one pound of food daily. That can cost the average family up to $2400 per year. But what if you could preserve your food, never wasting a bite? A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is an appliance you can use in your home.
A great way to cut costs is to preserve food through freeze-drying. When food is freeze-dried, it is stored for short-term or long-term use.
Three things cause food to spoil: heat, water, and oxygen. When food is freeze-dried, we remove all three factors. This creates a way to store food that can safely have years of shelf life. If properly stored, freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years!
How Does the Harvest Right Work?
You place the food in multiple trays. Then you insert the trays into the appliance. Food can be uncooked or cooked. It works either way.
With the touch of a button, the process begins. The Harvest Right Freeze Dryer freezes food at 40 degrees below zero. Once the food is frozen, a pump creates a vacuum around the food. This process removes all water from the food.
After about 24 hours, smart sensors know when the food is dry. The Harvest Right Freeze Dryer will beep, letting you know it’s finished. From beginning to end, everything is automated. This makes it easy to freeze-dry your food with the touch of a button.
After removing all the water from the food, it’s time to store it. There are several different ways to store the food, including canning jars.
The best way to store food is in a mylar bag with an oxygen-absorbing packet. Remember, oxygen is a key ingredient that causes food to spoil. So, by sealing food in a mylar bag, food can last a long time.
Rehydrating food is easy. Simply add hot water to your freeze-dried food until you achieve desired consistency.
Preserve Just About Any Food
Unlike other methods of food preservation, freeze-drying doesn’t change the size, flavor, or color of food. Food also keeps nearly all its nutrition when going through the process.
Most foods can be freeze-dried, including fruit, vegetables, dairy, eggs, fish, and meat. Meat is one of the easiest foods to prepare in the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer.
Since food can be raw or cooked, all leftovers can be freeze-dried, eliminating any food waste in your home.
Gardeners know that once a garden grows a harvest, it’s difficult to consume it all before it spoils. Imagine a zero-waste garden or fruit tree, where you can save every vegetable or fruit and store it for later use.
With a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer, there are opportunities to buy food when it’s on sale. This is another way to save on the grocery bill. There’s no need to make space in a freezer when your local grocer has a deal. Simply freeze-dry the bargains and store them in your pantry.
Why Freeze Dry?
Removing water from food naturally makes food lighter. Therefore, freeze-drying makes great lightweight meals for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re hunting, hiking, camping, or biking, freeze-dried meals and snacks are a great option anytime you need to bring food along.
And those who enjoy traveling in an RV know refrigeration space can be tight. Freeze drying is a great option to bring meals along without filling up that small refrigerator and freezer.
Building up an emergency food supply is another smart way to use the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. When an emergency strikes, such as a natural disaster, there’s much to worry about. Knowing you have enough food stored for an extended amount of time can ease the burden.
If healthy eating is a goal for your family, freeze-dried foods make great snacks. It also makes food preparation a snap for those who have special diets. Food allergies, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, and gluten-free diets are all accommodated through freeze-dried foods.
And let’s not forget our furry family members! Even pets can eat food prepared in the Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. You can prepare food with the ingredients they love best and are good for them.
