Today I dug through my long-term freeze-dried food storage to find the OLDEST food I’ve ever preserved. Some of this has been sitting for years… the real question is — is it still good? Or did I waste all that time and money? In this video I open my oldest Mylar bags, rehydrate meats, fruits, and full meals, taste test everything on camera and share what I’ve learned about long-term storage. Freeze-dried food is often marketed as lasting 20–25 years — but what does it actually look and taste like after years in storage? This video also kicks off my upcoming 7 Days of Freeze-Dried Food series where I’ll eat nothing but freeze-dried meals for a full week (21 meals total.) If you freeze dry at home — or are thinking about it — this is real-world proof of what long-term storage looks like.
