25 Powdered Foods That LAST FOREVER! (30 Year Shelf Life)

[@skyjumper999]

I take edible odds and ends from my vegetable garden, throw then in the dehydrator and make a mixed vegetable powder out of them. It's great for thickening soups and stews while adding flavour and nutrients.

Careful! In the US, it’s legal to label Cassia bark as Cinnamon. While it does have a cinnamon-like flavor, it does NOT have the same nutritional profile. The cinnamon used in blood-sugar regulation studies is Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum or Verum). This cinnamon also has a very distinctive and appealing flavor profile. While Cassia bark “cinnamon” is usually tolerated in small amounts, larger amounts can be toxic.

I used to have 30 plantain banana trees in various stages of growth. I would harvest bunches with up to 200 bananas, dehydrate and the puree them into flour. They can substitute for wheat flour in all recipes but the exchange is 3/4 cup banana flour to 1 cup wheat flour. My friends and family would use the flour and give me feedback. From brownies to breaded chicken all substitutions were a success. I suppose bunches bought at a grocery store could make smaller batches.

Interesting stuff and good suggestions. Just a couple of things: 1. Generally it is suggested that you don't mix oxygen absorbers and silica gel packets...the OA needs moisture to work and the silica stops it. If in mylar for long term go for the OA. In bottles you are going to open and close, or for non-food storage (e.g. ammo) go for silica. 2. You cannot freeze dry fatty/oily food (e.g. peanut butter, butter) or fatty foods for 35 years. Be careful with sugary things too -- often don't need it.

[@colleenpritchett6914]

How do you dehydrate your eggs?

[@SapioiT]

Do note that you can make your own makeshift dehydrators from trays or bowls or other containers, and clingwrap (food foil) and/or scotch tape (packing tape). And, after you're done, you just remove the scotch tape and/or packing tape, wash the pans where there is residue, and you're done. Even if it doesn't dry in the sun or in the oven on low as well as it would in a dehydrator, you could simply take the partially-dried things from the container, and dehydrate them some more in the dehydrator, to get them bone-dry.

[@TheMurlocKeeper]

@@colleenpritchett6914 - I saw a vid on how to do this once. You can either seperate your yolk and whites, or have it a whole egg. But basically, you just cook them like scrambled eggs (minus the milk, obv), and then once it's all cooked and chunky, you can put that in your dehydrator and then crush it to a powder afterwards. It seems a bit odd to me, as you'd think a cooked egg has different properties than say, a raw one...but there ya go. Have a search on KZbin or Google to make sure there isn't some better way. This is just one way I saw once and am sharing it. :) I really should be doing something like this when I have a glut of eggs from my chickens too. Last time though, I just made a shittonne of pancakes, lol!

Onion powder is an easy one to do at home. Slice onions, dehydrate, and grind up in a coffee grinder. I keep it in mason jars, I probably have some around that is 4 years old and is still great.

If you do the fruit juice powder, consider strawberry if you also have a lot of powdered milk. Powdered milk can be a hard swallow for young ones and picky pregnancy pallets - those who need it most. Strawberry is a good foil to the chocolate you already have to make sure you can vary the milk products you are using to fortify your growing family (and the very elderly). Also, don't just label and date your powders - but put the rehydration ratios on them. A lot of people don't see the value in tomato sauce powder, since sauce cans up so easily (no pressure canner needed, just boiling water). However, when you are cooking over fire in cast iron, draining is a pain and creates extra dishes (water waste). With tomato sauce powder (tomato powder and your usual sauce spices), you can boil the water to sterility, add the pasta as you take it off the heat, let it simmer down until it is almost done, and then throw in the powder. You get pasta with sauce from boiled-sterilized water all in one dish without any water (or starch) wasted. It was a staple for backing in my youth - much lighter than a jar or a can, used water from the trail, and made a tasty meal in a single pot.

I love your tips. How do you determine the re-hydration ratios ?. I'm going to start powdering foods this season. God bless you.

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

@@melodyclark4347 For something I'm mixing into milk (chocolate, strawberry), I just do it to taste - if your kids want something more like Quick, go with some powder and some sugar. Usually I'm desperate to keep sugar OUT of the kids' diet, but if calories are not an issue and it isn't enough to make them hyperactive, it can stretch your flavoring and actually makes things a little easier on sensitive stomachs. For the tomato sauce, I never get it right. Not even once. It is always too thick or too thin - but it always eats and tastes fine. It is hard to get the tomato part so wrong that it matters. I just try to go slow as it rehydrates so I don't get dry powder chunks (those are gross). So long as you have some good seasoning to throw in (oregano, garlic, etc) it should be all good. The things I write on the jars are for things like powdered milk, cheese, and butter - as I NEVER remember the ratio on those sorts of things and those are not really "do it to taste" kind of things.

Excellent information. I wanted to mention regarding Turmeric -- it also makes a pleasant tea (mix with milk powder, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom (if you have), sweetener if desired and water), the curcumin properties activate best with some fat. Besides as an edible, Turmeric is also valuable as a medicinal and disinfectant for wound healing (works well) = pack a wound with turmeric powder then bandage securely, it speeds healing and disinfects; it can also help slow/stop bleeding. Turmeric powder is also fun used to dye clothing, paper, many items -- put some Turmeric powder in water of any temperature, submerge an item, wait for it to turn desired color, then rinse out in water to get rid of the Turmeric (gritty) powder, works well with woven, muslin, cotton, even some synthetics (they don't take the "dye" as well) -- this use could be entertaining for children, beautify objects, can also use as "ink" or paint -- of course it also dyes flesh and lasts a while (like henna tattoo). A good "ink / paint / dye" combo is turmeric + coffee or tea. Thank you :)

[@ValkyrieGothic]

@@durbsgirl1014 yes, frozen, they are usually pretty cheap in the diced versions and they always dice them into small 0.5 to 1cm cubes perfect for dehydrating, no cutting up necessary. All I do is let them defrost, give them a hot bath just to make sure they are cleaned off and then throw them in the dehydrator and check them every 6-8 hours to see if they are fully dried. Another tip is to let them cool down in the dehydrator before you blend them so no humidity is generated by the difference in air temperature.

@@ValkyrieGothic How do you store the powder? Do you put it in jars & use the vacuum sealer machine or do you put it into Mylar? Do you taste the powder when you add it to things? I’m fascinated right now, sorry for all the questions, lol.

[@ValkyrieGothic]

@@shelpippg2202 I store it in either vac sealed Mylar bags or mason jars with plenty of oxygen absorbers. I do taste it occasionally unless it has onion in it.

Quinoa....... Not a powder, but not mentioned very often. Quinoa and Health Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten safely if one has gluten intolerance such as celiac disease. Peace everyone..........

I would add ground black pepper, it is a great alternative to stop blood from a wound. As a chef we use it often, you get a cut you apply black pepper on it with pressure (no it will not burn) it will help stop the bleeding fast as long as you keep some pressure on it for 2-3 minutes. do not rince right away put a band aid or gaze and give it a good hour. rince the cut after and you will be able to move on.

[@offthehook4u]

We always use cayenne pepper for wounds. Helps clot the wound quickly and will aid in healing. Just sprinkle on, bandage and let it alone. Have used this method for many years. I once sliced off the end of my little finger on a mandolin slicer, was alone and had no way to get to a hospital. The slice was longitudinal so there was no way to close off the cut. It bled heavily. I dipped the finger into cayenne, kept elevated as the powder dried up and applied more as necessary, then bandaged it. Bleeding was halted and the tissues grew back over time including the nail bed and nail. Yes it burned just a slight bit but I figured it was like cauterizing a wound only way less painful. To look at it today you would never know it happened.

Turmeric does have anti-inflammatory properties, which are made stronger when mixed with a bit of black pepper. I used it to help manage pain and cut down on the number of pills I had to take.
