Research has shown that freeze-dried and dehydrated foods can remain viable for up to 25 years or more. To ensure the longest storage life, it is recommended to store food in a cool, dry location, such as a basement, at temperatures ranging from 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once you open a package of dry food (dehydrated or freeze-dried), the shelf life can vary based on the type of food, how it's stored, and the conditions of the environment where it's kept. Generally speaking, most opened dry foods can last anywhere from a few months to a year if stored properly.
Here are some recommendations to maximize the shelf life of opened dry foods:

• Storage Conditions: Keep the food in a cool, dry place. Exposure to heat, moisture, or direct sunlight can spoil dry foods more quickly.
• Air-Tight Containers: After opening, transfer the dry food to air-tight containers. This helps to keep moisture and air out, which can degrade the quality of the food over time.
• Use Desiccants or Oxygen Absorbers: Including desiccant packs (to absorb moisture) or oxygen absorbers (to remove oxygen) in the storage containers can further extend the shelf life of dry foods.
• Refrigeration or Freezing: For some dry foods, especially those with higher fat content, refrigeration or freezing after opening can extend shelf life.
• Check for Signs of Spoilage: Always check for signs of spoilage, such as changes in color, texture, or smell, before using dry foods. If in doubt, it's safer to discard the food.
• Label and Date: Label your containers with the date of opening. This will help you keep track of how long the food has been stored after opening.

The amount of water required to prepare each meal varies from product to product, but on average each serving requires about 1 cup of water. For an entire kit, an estimated amount is 25 gallons.

Using boiling water with long-term shelf-life foods, such as freeze-dried or dehydrated meals, offers several benefits, particularly in terms of preparation, safety, and nutritional quality. Here are the key advantages:

1. Rapid Rehydration
Boiling water significantly speeds up the rehydration process of freeze-dried and dehydrated foods. The high temperature of boiling water helps to quickly break down the cellular structure of the dried food, allowing it to absorb water more efficiently. This means meals can be prepared and ready to eat in a shorter amount of time, which is especially beneficial in situations where time and fuel might be limited, such as camping or in emergency scenarios.

2. Improved Texture and Taste
The use of boiling water can improve the texture and taste of rehydrated foods. It ensures that the foods fully expand and soften, closely mimicking their original state before dehydration or freeze-drying. This can make the rehydrated meal more palatable and enjoyable to eat, which is important for maintaining appetite and morale in long-term food storage situations or during outdoor activities.

3. Enhanced Safety
Boiling water can help to eliminate potential pathogens that might be present on the food surface. While freeze-drying and dehydration are effective at preserving food, using boiling water adds an extra level of safety by killing bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can survive in a dry state. This is particularly crucial when dealing with foods stored for very long periods or in conditions where the packaging integrity might have been compromised.

4. Nutrient Retention
The quick rehydration process facilitated by boiling water can help in retaining the nutritional content of the food. While some nutrient loss can occur during the initial freeze-drying or dehydration process, rapid rehydration minimizes further nutrient degradation, especially heat-sensitive vitamins that might be lost if foods were cooked or simmered for extended periods.

5. Convenience and Efficiency
Using boiling water for rehydration is straightforward and requires minimal cooking equipment, which can be a significant advantage in emergency situations or when outdoor cooking options are limited. It allows for the efficient preparation of meals without the need for extensive kitchen facilities, making it ideal for disaster preparedness kits, backpacking trips, and other scenarios where ease of preparation and minimal cleanup are desired.
