Glad you are enjoying the freeze dryer! There is truly a huge difference between the quality of dehydrated and freeze-dried foods. I don't have the budget or the space, unfortunately. But I have been happy with the bulk foods I have purchased. I am using more freeze dried foods versus GMO produce that has very low nutrition. And am converting all my camping meals to home-packed freeze dried versus the expensive $10 to $15 store-bought junk! Thanks The Great Out There

Just like at the end of the video, skittles were being packsged and sold at our archery tournament. People were buying these up!!! We bought 6 bags of various candies. Love them. But all that to say, this was how they were paying for their machine. Just something to think about.😊

[defensivemagick]

The freeze dried skittles…..lol! I was like what are those colorful plants/seeds…..

[christyl.phinnell]

I am having some buyers remorse. We got our four days ago, and had no idea that it takes from about 8 hours to over 50 hours to process. It makes the house hot.

Amazing video.
I am new in freeze drying and a big Thank you for the information. From the video saw powdered food in a jar. What happens when you are opening to use, does it absorb moisture and rehydrate plus how long should powdered food stay for?

[KCJohn]

Thank you for explaining the difference. I bought a $99 dehydrator and was very disappointed with the look of the food after drying. Will get a job so I can get moving with my new gardening skills, and interest in food storage for short and long term. This is guided by the Holy Spirit so not sure what will be happening in the future to require these skills.

[nbhlkfy]

Thanks for the video! How long does the food kept in jars without the OAs stay good on the shelf? I hear a lot about food taking on the moisture in the air and causing spoilage..Thanks!

I wish I could afford a freeze dryer. What a game changer it would be!
