Many of you may have seen the National Geographic series on people they call Prepper’s. The series can be viewed on YouTube.
The National Geographic series shows people who believe for one reason or another their calm quite world may be disrupted in a massive way. These people have taken steps to dramatically change their lives to survive or endure these so called coming disasters.

Vacuum packers have been around since the 40’s and really have not changed much. Unlike the electronic industry with a change almost monthly to blog. The vacuum packing industry is pretty basic with few changes from year to year. Creating an exciting blog can be a challenge.

With that said the Prepper’s have given us a new thing to blog about! (We are in the packaging industry, preppers need packaging. We stand neutral on the disaster information discribed in the series)

Vacuum packing food for long term storage is not new. Buy food, vacuum pack, and use when you are ready. A smart way to save money, eat today at yesterdays prices. The best way to eat high quality food at home.

But how do you cook with dry eggs, dry beans, whole grains, and so many other products that in everyday life are usually bought in a fast easy to fix box or can?

Food storage is generally raw whole items for maximum storage time. Vacuum packing raw almonds will last 10 years as with roasted salted Almonds only have about a 1 year shelf life. Unless you like eating unsalted un-roasted Almonds, one needs to know how to prepare them as your family is used to eating them.
