A lyophilizer can help you save a few thousand each year, making it possible to use the bountiful harvest from your garden to the fullest. Nowadays, when a lot of people around the world are starving and food delivery chain is constantly disrupted by droughts and natural disasters, we should not waste food only because we are unable to eat everything we produce during the season. What is more, increasing food prices make freeze-drying one of investment methods.
Freeze-drying is the safest and simplest method of food preservation. When the spring comes, gardeners all over the world prepare their land and plan what to grow. Instead of limiting themselves, they should consider expanding the scale of their crops by choosing freeze-drying or another method for surplus storage in order to use it in the winter or in case of emergency.
You can actually freeze-dry all kinds of food, including meat, dairy products, ready dishes as well as all fruit and vegetables. Freeze-dry your summer and autumn harvest and then use it even for 25 years in the winter or spring:
- potatoes
- cauliflowers
- broccolis
- apples
- beans
- peas
- pumpkins
- apricots
- peaches
- nectarines
- all berries
- plums
- spinach (for soups and casseroles)
- tomatoes
- chives
- cucumbers
- radish
- herbs to use in your recipes
The list above includes only the examples of products from your garden and is not in any way exhaustive, but we hope that it will help you consider various options for using your resources off-season.
Store your freeze-dried products in a jar, bag or doypack, thus protecting them against air access, and they will stay fresh for a very long time.
After a long winter it is easy to forget that in a few months, the next one will come. Arrange your summer garden according to your favourite autumn and winter recipes and you will save on grocery shopping, enjoy better quality food all year round and keep your own stock of vegetables and fruit without any preservatives available for many years to come.
