In the video below, Steve Shenk, CEO/Founder of eFoods Global, discusses what you need to look for when buying food prepared for long-term storage. Although, he is talking here about eFoods Direct, the parent-company of eFoods Global, eFood Global packages the very same food. Only difference is eFoods Global uses mylar pouches instead of cans.
Storage space in your home is a consideration when buying foods for long-term storage. Dehydrated foods are shrunk down in size so you get more servings in each container. Freeze dried foods retain their same size and shape as fresh food, so you would need several freeze dried cans to equal the same number of servings as in one can of dehydrated. Therefore freeze-dried foods require several times the storage space as dehydrated foods.
Storing dehydrated food packaged in mylar pouches offers greater convenience than dehydrated food stored in #10 cans. Mylar pouches are easier to transport (i.e. backpack), come in a size that makes 4 servings, and take up less space than cans. A whole month of food for four people can be easily stored in one cardboard box.
