Is dehydrated food healthy?

It depends on the food. Dehydration process only removes the liquid but keeps the nutritional value of the ingredients. It then depends on how healthy the ingredients are and what else was put in it. For the healthiest option, either just use dried ingredients or look for dehydrated camping food that has very few additives. Best freeze dried food usually has very few weird chemicals. However, camping food often has lots of salt, because rough hiking drains it from your body. It isn’t thus meant to be consumed every day. There are some low-sodium camping food brands available. The product description helps you with that.

If you are looking for a specific nutrient survival food should contain, check the package or product description. It also helps you find organic freeze dried food, gluten free and vegan survival food, etc.

Food for preppers

Prepper food options depend on whether you are preparing for some short-term emergency, such as a power outage or some never-ending nuclear mushroom zombye catastrophe. Something like a 72 hour survival food kit can be good to have in your bug-out bag or car. However, best survival food kits for long term disasters are usually homemade. When planning emergency essentials, freeze dried food, dehydrated ingredients, and cans are the way to go. The best canned food for survival is anything that gives you lots of energy, contains enough nutrients, has a long shelf life, and isn’t overly expensive.

Camping and survival food storage

How long does freeze dried food last? What about cans? The shelf life of dehydrated food and cans is several years. You can find the dehydrated food shelf life chart on the package or in the product description. For camping, shelf life isn’t usually a major issue since you normally don’t stay in the wilderness that long. However, for long term survival food, it becomes more crucial. You should eat the products that are close to expiration and replace them with new stuff before the excrement touches the proverbial air cooling device.

Add these in freeze dried backpacking food or create your own camping and survival food recipes. You can find craploads of hiking meal ideas in books and online.
