Vacuum packing dried foods extends the shelf life of the food by 3 times.
Store the foods in airtight, moisture-proof containers. Do not expose to
light .
Store in cool (below 15°C), dark and dry areas. Dehydrated meat and fish
are best stored in the refrigerator.
Foods such as onions and tomatoes quickly absorb moisture from the air
and should be immediately packed after removing them from the
dehydrator.
During the first week after drying, it is better to check if there is any
moisture present in the container. If moisture is present, it means that the
foods have not been fully dehydrated and you start the dehydrating process
again.
