Packaging: 
DRIED FOODS MUST BE PROPERLY PACKAGED IN ORDER TO KEEP WELL. 
Package your dried foods in freezer plastic bags, squeezing out as much air as 
possible.  Heat-sealable bags may also be used.  Store the plastic bags inside of 
airtight metal, plastic or glass containers.  Storing foods in rigid containers without first 
putting them into the freezer bags exposes the dried foods to air.  Vacuum packaging 
equipment for home use is available in some stores around the country.  Vacuum 
packaging will greatly extend shelf life. 
 
Storage Conditions: 
Store properly packaged dried foods in a cool, dark place.  The cooler the food is kept, 
the longer the optimal quality will be maintained.  For every 18°F drop in temperature, 
the shelf life increases 2 to 3 times.  If you have room in a refrigerator or freezer, keep 
your dried foods there.  Otherwise, find the coolest place in your home to store dried 
foods.  Light also causes the quality and nutritive value to deteriorate.  Keep dried 
foods  in the dark or in opaque containers.   
 
Shelf Life: 
Fruits have a naturally high sugar and acid content, which allows them to dry well and 
store for longer periods of time than vegetables.  When properly packaged and stored 
at room temperature or below (70°F or less), most fruits will maintain a high quality 
and nutritional value up to a year.  Most vegetables are best when eaten within six 
months. 
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES KEPT BEYOND THE RECOMMENDED TIME MAY 
NOT BE AS NUTRITIOUS OR TASTE AS GOOD BUT WILL NOT SPOIL UNLESS 
THE PACKAGING IS NO LONGER INTACT.
