Dried fruits can be used as snacks in emergencies and don't require cooking. Dried fruits are easy to transport and can be eaten as much as you like without worrying about weight gain.

You can make dried fruit at home using a dehydrator, but if you have access to a solar oven, this would be ideal. You can dry any kind of food in a solar oven.

When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container is airtight. This stops oxygen entering the food and spoiling it. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Then, follow that with vinegar. Vinegar is a good way to kill harmful bacteria and stop mold growth.

To begin, you will need to chop up your food into small bits. You can use scissors or a knife. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Seal the bag and leave it somewhere warm until it dries completely.
