Mountain House® Freeze Dried Food

Can your family survive if there is a food emergency?

What if your electric power is knocked out for several days by a storm? Or an natural disaster? Or a financial crisis? Having some kind of food storage protects us the same as auto or home insurance - for those unexpected times. The easiest "food insurance" you can have is freeze dried foods.

My personal preference is Mountain House products. They're easy to prepare - just add hot water...wait 10 minutes...and eat! A one-burner stove or candle will heat the water but room temperature or cold water can be used too. Freeze dried foods require much less water and fuel than most fresh, frozen or dehydrated foods. In an emergency situation, both water and fuel may be in short supply or non-existent.

How long will freeze dried foods last?

Mountain House freeze-dried foods are packed in airtight NITROGEN PACKED #10 cans or pouches. Up to 98% of the residual oxygen has been removed. The unique canning process uses both vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing. This is a time consuming and slightly more costly process...but well worth it. It is the same process mandated by the U.S. Military for whom we also can.

Their foods have the longest shelf life available...up to 30 years! Mountain House has been around for 40 years so they know first hand. Each of their cans is coated with a protective enamel inside and out for double protection, including the lid. The can's contents are protected until you are ready to open and use them. After opening, they should be used within 1 to 2 weeks for best results and taste; using the convenient resealable plastic lid between uses. Treat any leftover food as you would fresh food.

Do they taste good?

Mountain House® freeze dried foods taste superior to competitive products because they actually start with fresh or frozen foods, then cook and prepare them, and finally freeze-dry them. All the goodness, flavor, and taste are locked in just as if you had hand-made them yourself from scratch. In comparison, other food companies don't freeze-dry or cook their own foods. They blend the dry components of other companies and package them. Mountain House foods tastes as close to fresh, frozen, or better, as you can get. Backpackers, for example, consistently rate Mountain House #1 year after year as the best tasting foods and ease of preparation.

Having a reserve of Mountain House® freeze dried food makes a lot of sense—both for financial and security reasons. Use the pouches for limited short-term emergencies. Use cans for potential extended emergencies, or an emergency situation affecting a lot of people.

Isn't your family worth it?
