Knowing how to preserve food in multiple ways allows you to buy in bulk when prices are low, to buy imperfect or reduced price produce that other people pass over, and to build food storage and food sustainability for your family on a tight budget. You don’t need to grow a single thing for food preservation knowledge to be “worth it”. And it’s OK if you can’t afford all the gadgets right now. I started by learning how to dehydrate in my oven and using cheap dollar store ziplock bags for the freezer. Over the past seven years, I’ve been able to add water bath canning, pressure canning, reusable freezer bags, and multiple dehydrators. I encourage everyone to start wherever you are at and build from there! #foodpreservation #preserving #moneysaving #canning #dehydrating #pantry #foodsecurity
