excellent information! don't forget to include dehydrated water in your preps.
Lol 😂😂
😂
Powdered Instant water, just add water
I like to freeze my boiled water so I don't have to heat it back up.
Dont bother storing water, stockpile 60% abv vodka instead. Not only is it delightful for quenching your thirst, but you can also use it as fuel, and for cleaning bicycle parts!.
I take edible odds and ends from my vegetable garden, throw then in the dehydrator and make a mixed vegetable powder out of them. It's great for thickening soups and stews while adding flavour and nutrients.
Great idea! Thanks. God bless you
I have a garden, I have dehydrator. Great idea. I do dehydrate some things, like tomatoes,onion and such, never thought to powderize them and mix em for soups and such. I'll try
I've done this a couple times, found I like the flavor better if i roast the veg before drying
Add a little mushrooms to the mix and you can make a nice beefy stew without any meat in it.
@@bunba_77_15 or a stew ro confuse your enemies depending on the types of mushrooms involved ;)
I probably wont live long enough to use all the amazing tips from these videos and THE COMMENTS! Thanks to everyone for all the tips.
Im 70 next month and live alone...and hell bent on prepping to not be a burden on my kids as long as I can and making it through the tough times ahead. 😁👍
You can buy flash frozen freeze dried foods. I used to sell "Thrive".
I wish you a long and healthy life. ^_^ May you make it to 100. :D
b taos......I'm 77 and also live on my own, my kids have scarpered making sure I'll not be a burden on them even if I ever had a mind to, which I don't so I have prepped some and have been diagnosing and treating anything that came along with no help from anyone for a considerable while now. I've long ago realized that it's the so called health system that destroyed my health to start with so I stay far from them. I have angina and a heart murmur and have trouble breathing yet to visit my doctor, I have to put on a suffocation device which have been proven useless and harmful and even after I was told by the same doctor that diagnosed my problems, that I still have to muzzle up. I'm staying away. These people can't be sane. Also staying a pure blood.
I am 65 right behind you and I live alone tonight kids or grandkids and I make it on my own as I have done all my life. Life is good for me. No complaints.
I use to think the same way... then realized all the prepping I am doing is really to help my kids to survive. That is all that will matter when I'm gone... will they have enough and be ok... is always on my mind. My main goal is to keep myself alive and well, long as I can to make sure they are good and do what I can to contribute to that all I can. Gives me purpose In all
this. ❤
Careful! In the US, it’s legal to label Cassia bark as Cinnamon. While it does have a cinnamon-like flavor, it does NOT have the same nutritional profile. The cinnamon used in blood-sugar regulation studies is Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum or Verum). This cinnamon also has a very distinctive and appealing flavor profile. While Cassia bark “cinnamon” is usually tolerated in small amounts, larger amounts can be toxic.
I'm going homeless this week. Not by choice. Necessity. I'm reasonably prepared and have transport and shelter. In October I head out. I glean alot from your posts. My camp will be better because of it.
What state are you in? Perhaps someone following the channel can offer some support?
Been there.. good luck. stay safe and stay busy. Theres a silver lining in everything if you're willing to see it
Make sure to keep a job. At least a part time job and get yourself a membership to a 24/7 gym that has a shower. Trust me when I say this that you will be glad you did.
Turn that negative into a positive, anyway to document on TH-cam the process of survival
Well, may be quite the blessing! Keep observant and by water source....Lots of great forest out there.
The number one thing that you didn't list that I would include is tomato powder. The ability to make tomato paste, tomato sauce, tomato juice, and ketchup
Unfortunately, tomato powder cakes so tightly and becomes a rock...... unless silicone dioxide is added it difficult to use.
I bought a bunch of this and after about 7 yrs opened a can and it was such a hard brick that it was nearly impossible to chip some off. The cans had puffed, too. And it turned dark colored and tasted a little bitter than normal. Still edible, but a LOT of work to get any loose. I suggest dried tomato pieces. Grind before use. Take care!
@@kellycarver2500 thanks for the info. Long-term storage food is one of the biggest sources of misinformation in the prepper community, and I suspect this is mostly because people get the stuff and don't ever try it out and hope they never have to use it. Frankly that has been me most of the time, so it's always good to hear real world experiences from people to help set expectations
@@johnmoss4624 You're welcome. Carry bloated cans CAREFULLY outside and let the pressure off by using them for target practice. It's actually quite hilarious to shoot your breakfast pancakes!
@@kellycarver2500 good idea. I would make cubes separated by wax paper.
I used to have 30 plantain banana trees in various stages of growth. I would harvest bunches with up to 200 bananas, dehydrate and the puree them into flour. They can substitute for wheat flour in all recipes but the exchange is 3/4 cup banana flour to 1 cup wheat flour. My friends and family would use the flour and give me feedback. From brownies to breaded chicken all substitutions were a success. I suppose bunches bought at a grocery store could make smaller batches. This is an ideal substitute for gluten free baking 😋 🍌I live on Oahu. 🏝🌊🌋
Last summer I accidentally grew a huge amount of kale and other leafy greens, and decided to dehydrate it and run it through the blender. It's been awesome to have my own supply of organic "super greens" powder and not buy the way overpriced stuff from the store. Just 2 tablespoons is equivalent to a full serving, and can help boost the nutrition in your meals.
How did you dehydrate it?
@@timothytim1053 dehydrator or leaving it in a tray in the sun
Quinoa.......
Not a powder, but not mentioned very often.
Quinoa and Health
Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own.
Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten safely if one has gluten intolerance such as celiac disease.
Peace everyone..........
Thankyou, thats such good info. 😀🤗✌
If it hasn't been suggested yet - CAYENNE Powder - cayenne NOT paprika or chili - CAYENNE - it is a great blood clotter - it will even close a bleeding artery - true story - doesn't sting either when applied - usually because you're already in PAIN - but yeah - have a packet in my trauma kit
Thanks Good Soil. I didn’t know that cayenne is a good blood clutter. I will definitely include it in my medical pack.
Depending on where you live, yarrow is great for that too. I can find it everywhere in my neighborhood.
@@lavona8204 how do you apply it? What parts do you use?
Doesn't sting--really? I think it would sting awful. Does it stain the wound?
@@markm8188 the leaves and the flowers. Just crush them up and apply to the wound.
I love dehydrating mushrooms and using the powder in many of my dishes. It gives a wonderful flavor.
I do the same. It's a fantastic flavour that you can use in just about anything savoury. It contributes to the umami flavour experience.
Did you know that is how MSG is made
Thank you! That's what I was looking for.
I do that...call it instant umami. My girls don't like the texture of mushrooms but like the flavor. This works well.
Yes!! It's great in hot cocoa too! Also powdered seaweeds is great nutrition!
A tip: I practice holistic medicine and turmeric is useful BUT only with a pinch to a tsp of black pepper so that your body can absorb the nutrients. It's a great spice for colds, I make a spicy ginger-lemon tea with a pinch of tumeric, black pepper and cayenne and it knocks the cold right out of my family and also since it's warming, I put a little chamomile and lavender in the tea and give it to my grandmom for arthritis pain so she can sleep through the night. It's practically magic lmao
I use Cayenne extract. And all you said is right one garget.
I use tumeric in my teas with ginger, pepper and cinnamon. Turmeric,ginger, and green tea in my homemade chicken soup. I have tried Holden milk and it is very hoof
Try sea moss capsules look it up very good for driving mucus out of your body.
I was hoping you would talk about being self sufficient by growing a garden. I started drying and powdering veggies because I hated to see it wasted. I have powdered carrots, celery, tomatoes, pumpkin, bell peppers, jalapeños, kale and others. They are a great way to hide veggies in other foods. My kids love green mashed potatoes. They don't know that it's green because of kale. It is also perfect for smoothies and dog food. Now we store less in the freezers.
😄 green potatoes!! 👏👏👏👏 well done
do you use a dehydrator for making the powders?
Great.idea
Same here! The amount of kale and mushrooms I can sneak into my kid's diet like this is nuts! :-)
Oh I love that! I sneak veggies into spaghetti allllll the time, & they're none the wiser! I just blend & saute with the ground beef after draining the oil!
Some of my kiddos don't like mushrooms - HA! 😄
Stock up folks, dark times are here
Can’t bake very well without eggs. So I’ve been powdering my own bc they can be hard to find. I have been successful in the dehydrator. Whip up about 6-7 eggs per sheet. 140 degrees till all crusty. Then nutribullet it. I have about 80 eggs so far in 2.5 jars. Worked out very well!
How long do powdered eggs last in mylar with 02?
Aren't those one thing that doesn't last that long like peanut butter powder?
Pumpkin powder is VERY nutritious and yummy. I love having powdered version on hand so I don't have to open a can when I only want to use a little. It's amazing in yogurt or oatmeal, pancakes, granola, shakes, etc.
That sounds interesting, how do you prepare it? Thanks!
Sounds like a good dehydrating experiment…🧐
I make zucchini powder which I use as a thickener.
I usually only prefer pumpkin bread or pie. An older friend of mines wife used a hollowed out pumpkin, stuffed it with rice, vegetables, etc. for Thanksgiving, put the top back on and baked it like a squash. Quite tasty, I'd never seen that done before.
Thank you I have some cans of pumpkin that I eat and I don't want to go out of date and I know if I powder it will last indefinitely basically
I work in the baby formula industry with the expertise in spray drying encapsulated powders. Learned allot from it, like we even developed pure Caramel powder last week😁 and i have the luxury that i can take small amounts home for my own pantry. Super easy to store and very easy to use. Awesome content! Greatings from Holland👌
So uh, sell me some of that caramel powder bro...
👍
::: Me too! I love caramel! Does your company sell online?
Please I want. 🙏
@@johnguy3211 I'm with John, we want the Caramel Powder
Can't afford a freeze dryer yet so I dehydrate. I've got 6 quarts of egg powder put away. My hens are super layers and they are helping make sure my little one always has a full belly. The berries and fruit trees are ripening now so that poor little dehydrator is gonna work overtime for a while. God bless folks.
Mine is going back to work too LOL!
My dehydrator has begun it's work too. During the growing season before the annual veggies are ready, I will sometimes look around my property for some wild edible greens. I'll dehydrate those and throw them into my "greens" jar.
How do you dehydrate your eggs?
Do note that you can make your own makeshift dehydrators from trays or bowls or other containers, and clingwrap (food foil) and/or scotch tape (packing tape). And, after you're done, you just remove the scotch tape and/or packing tape, wash the pans where there is residue, and you're done. Even if it doesn't dry in the sun or in the oven on low as well as it would in a dehydrator, you could simply take the partially-dried things from the container, and dehydrate them some more in the dehydrator, to get them bone-dry.
@@colleenpritchett6914 - I saw a vid on how to do this once.
You can either seperate your yolk and whites, or have it a whole egg.
But basically, you just cook them like scrambled eggs (minus the milk, obv), and then once it's all cooked and chunky, you can put that in your dehydrator and then crush it to a powder afterwards. It seems a bit odd to me, as you'd think a cooked egg has different properties than say, a raw one...but there ya go.
Have a search on TH-cam or Google to make sure there isn't some better way. This is just one way I saw once and am sharing it. :)
I really should be doing something like this when I have a glut of eggs from my chickens too. Last time though, I just made a shittonne of pancakes, lol!
Jello Powder can substitute for juice crystals. As a youth at summer camp the kitchen staff mixed it with water, kept it thin and we called it bug juice.
I use to mix jello powder with cool whip when I was a little girl. Now I won't eat cool whip, but I do eat jello 😊
I can go get a box of Jell-O right now
Open it up pour it in my mouth with some water makes it up and it's excellent I love it
@@deeleeman2779oh my gosh that sounds good now I'm thinking of taking powdered milk and making cream to mix with it
When I make tomato sauce in the fall I take most of the skins after blanching and dehydrate them, then grind into powder.
great for everything!
Get some gelatin, it is pure protein and can mix with lots of stuff. It's also good for arthritis.
Not so sure its really healthy, Basically its made from dissolving animal bones in Hydrochloric acid. Issue is that Hydrochloric acid may be contaminated with mercury because its often produced using the Chloralkali process via a Mercury cell. I believe tests done on Jello found mercury contamination.
It has bones that cause arthritis.
Don't buy crap from China
Gelatin is deficient in essential amino acids. Beans and rice is way better.
Nothing is perfect people and someone always knows better. I use good grass fed Kosher gelatin. What do you think jello is made of, add sugar artificial flavours and colours=Jello.
Curcumin with added piperine (from black pepper) potentiates the effect as an anti-inflammatory. I use it every day to help with severe arthritis. It works.
OH my gosh , thank you so much for the info , nice and natural
what he said must have been a mistake ..Turmeric is #1 handsdown!
The jury is out on his hair, not turmeric!
@@pjmsky9125 The Black Pepper amplifies Turmeric's effects. That's why the 2 are often mixed. God Bless
YEUP! I use it all the time. Golden milk at night keeps my hands from being stiff when I wake up. And it's has helped me with a lot more.
In addition to the storage conditions CP described, these things will last longer if stored in a dark place. A lot of things break down when exposes to sunlight even if dry and in a low-oxygen environment
Add nutritional yeast! It's a vegan "cheese" powder that's extremely rich in B vitamins. It lasts quite a while, and a tbsp of it meets nearly all of your B vitamin needs (depending on brand).
Avoid the ones with synthetic folic acid. Will gunk up your folate receptors leading to anxiety and depression
@@Sunshine_AK didn’t know that!! Thank you so much!
Vegetarians in the house!😉
@@Sunshine_AK Your body takes more effort to metabolise it, especially in the absence of other nutrients. If you make sure that you're also consuming enough of the other B vitamins, it's probably not going to be that big a deal.
@@user-pn4py6vr4n that is actually false information.
Interesting stuff and good suggestions. Just a couple of things:
1. Generally it is suggested that you don't mix oxygen absorbers and silica gel packets...the OA needs moisture to work and the silica stops it. If in mylar for long term go for the OA. In bottles you are going to open and close, or for non-food storage (e.g. ammo) go for silica.
2. You cannot freeze dry fatty/oily food (e.g. peanut butter, butter) or fatty foods for 35 years. Be careful with sugary things too -- often don't need it.
following, interested in the mixing of oxygen absorbers and silica gel packets
I just came here to say the same thing. Glad you explained it so well.
Good info, thanks
I’ve heard the same thing about not using both.
Going to mention the oxygen absorber/silica gel combo no-no, but seeing if someone else did it first. Replying to hopefully get this comment towards the top.
If you do the fruit juice powder, consider strawberry if you also have a lot of powdered milk. Powdered milk can be a hard swallow for young ones and picky pregnancy pallets - those who need it most. Strawberry is a good foil to the chocolate you already have to make sure you can vary the milk products you are using to fortify your growing family (and the very elderly).
Also, don't just label and date your powders - but put the rehydration ratios on them.
A lot of people don't see the value in tomato sauce powder, since sauce cans up so easily (no pressure canner needed, just boiling water). However, when you are cooking over fire in cast iron, draining is a pain and creates extra dishes (water waste). With tomato sauce powder (tomato powder and your usual sauce spices), you can boil the water to sterility, add the pasta as you take it off the heat, let it simmer down until it is almost done, and then throw in the powder. You get pasta with sauce from boiled-sterilized water all in one dish without any water (or starch) wasted. It was a staple for backing in my youth - much lighter than a jar or a can, used water from the trail, and made a tasty meal in a single pot.
Thanks for the tips!
I love your tips. How do you determine the re-hydration ratios ?. I'm going to start powdering foods this season.
God bless you.
@@melodyclark4347 For something I'm mixing into milk (chocolate, strawberry), I just do it to taste - if your kids want something more like Quick, go with some powder and some sugar. Usually I'm desperate to keep sugar OUT of the kids' diet, but if calories are not an issue and it isn't enough to make them hyperactive, it can stretch your flavoring and actually makes things a little easier on sensitive stomachs.
For the tomato sauce, I never get it right. Not even once. It is always too thick or too thin - but it always eats and tastes fine. It is hard to get the tomato part so wrong that it matters. I just try to go slow as it rehydrates so I don't get dry powder chunks (those are gross). So long as you have some good seasoning to throw in (oregano, garlic, etc) it should be all good.
The things I write on the jars are for things like powdered milk, cheese, and butter - as I NEVER remember the ratio on those sorts of things and those are not really "do it to taste" kind of things.
@@oaksparoakspar3144 Thank you for the reply. I'll do a little taste testing on the grandkids lol. They're usually up for an experiment. God bless you.
i love the stuff you have here as Morale boosters and trade goods.
i listen to people talking about their plans for survival ALL the time, and the first thing they always wind up missing or just ignoring is morale, after a while having a reason to get up in the morning is what you need more then food to keep you going and a treat to look forward to later goes a LONG way.
If the pancake mix won't rise, just make crepes.
Don't be a creper
Add baking powder to flat stale pancake mix it will fluff it back up. Baking soda and carbonated soda can work too.
Onion powder is an easy one to do at home. Slice onions, dehydrate, and grind up in a coffee grinder. I keep it in mason jars, I probably have some around that is 4 years old and is still great. Also do the same with hot peppers for a version of red pepper flakes, as well as both tomatoes and kale, which are great for thickening soup.
Yep i did that a year later still good sonis garlic. I dehydrate every late summer and is 👍
I found out the hard way to dehydrate onions and garlic outside, lol
Do you use dehydrator for tomatoes ? How long is shelf life on tomato powder?
Thank you! That's what I was looking for!
Potato Flakes is also a thickener
Over 7yrs ago I bought some bulk potato flakes from the Latter Day Saints bulk pantry. I never got around to storing it in Mylar bags but did separate it into regular zip loc bags. I still use it to this day, it still tastes great and has turned a bit yellow like it had butter added. The color has been the only change. It has been exposed to over 100° for more than a few weeks and it’s still perfect..... I’m amazed.
Same. I have some that I got a food pantry years ago. My daughter loves flacked potatoes and make them all the time. Also stored in higher temperatures at times.
But LDS store lasts 25 years why repackage? Or maybe just things I’ve bought which is most things. Asking honestly because haven’t seen anything to repackage from their cannery
@@kerryberry142 The only thing I'd repackage would be their pancake/waffle mix bags to try to make them last a bit longer since they say they only have a 2 year shelf life and are in a standard plastic pouch.
@@pepethepatriot7524 that makes sense as most of their stuff is 25 years other than flour and pancake
That is because a lot of LDS people live in desert areas ie. Utah and Arizona and the other states near by. Their Mountain Home products are geared for these conditions.
Haha. Kraft cheese powder lasts “damn near forever”. There was a time when that was more important than worrying about the chemical content.
😂👍
I can't find any anywhere
Thanks for all your effort!
I am from canary islands (Spain).
Here the pre-historic settlers used to make "Gofio", a mix of grains such as wheat and corn, toasted and then grinded into a fine flour-like powder, wich is really nutricious and can be used in a thousand different ways, and the best of all, it is very durable, one more to add!
Other ideas: spirulina,
Electrolyte, powdered bone broth or liver( beef, lamb, or chicken), vitamin powder aka moringa powder, monkfruit powder( sweeter than sugar and healthier), blood clot powder, versatile spices: all spice, cardamom, coriander seeds etc. Lots of powders that are great!
Didn't think about hemp, i am powder guy after all.
Thanks for the highlight, i have many more powders, but i dont want to make a book.
Bonus track:
Non food powder, calcium chloride, lye(soap making), borax, dead sea salt, a block of salt, in my opinion the most important powder is lime. Many uses for it that will surely be barterable and make your life easier and will help to grow food. Second is salt or epsom salt.
🤣
Found some lime in my Mom's basement. Uses please?
The electrolytes would be really important. Epson salt has dietary magnesium, and is a fertilizer of magnesium.
@@jc.1191 hmm... its labeled for garden use which is good to know for us, but wondering if it has any known uses inside the home for emergencies, etc? Thinking along the diamateous earth line, with its many uses.
How does one make electrolyte powder?
It's a little past stinging nettle season now, but next spring cut the stalks from the ground and hang in bunches of six or eight stalks and dry outside. Once bone dry, cut the leaves and crush by hand or in food processor almost into a powder and store in glass bottles. Add to soups, etc. for additional nutrition.
Thanks for explaining how to dry stinging nettle. One great thing about stinging nettle, it’s easy to identify.
Are they not still edible and nutritional regardless of the time of year? I imagine that pre-seeding/flowering, they'd be much more packed with nutrients but is there a cutoff time for when they are usable?
Cheers
@@RuailleBuaille Yes, they are good throughout the year if you can find them! Mostly in late spring but if they have some shade and adequate water will grow into late summer. I have some that have flowered but are still producing leaves. Cut and tie stalks with string or wire and hang under an eave outside. Dont let them get wet. May take 2 weeks to get dry. Cut the good leaves, big or small, with a small pruning shear or scissors and use gloves. Once dry the stinging part is gone but the stalks and leaves are brittle and may contain burrs. Once crushed, put in a good glass bottle and make sure lid is always tight. Have fun, this is a great wild plant. TH-cam is great source of info from people who know way more than me. Put "stinging nettle" into the search field.
@@utubecustomer0099805 You're a wee star, thank you for the lovely information :)
@@RuailleBuaille even the seeds of stinging nettles are edible.
Thanks, for the video! Great suggestions!
Grits, oatmeal, freeze dried coffee, coffee creamer, celery salt, onion powder, buttermilk powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, and citric acid powder are all things that you didn't mention, but would be nice to have on hand.
All things I have are what you just listed.
I think he wanted to get these things talked about out.most people know nothing about this and refuse to even think about it or talk about it. They call me crazy for prepping. Ok then I'm as crazy as it comes. I honor that.
A heads up, not many people can handle oatmeal often. Causes excess mucous in the lungs.
Love this!!! I live in 1 bedroom apt so this is a huge space saver!!!!! Plus how long the powders last is a bonus. I try to stock to be sure my parents and adult kids will have food as well this really helps.

@@jdlflagstone6980 ::: The same MO in Fort Mac, Paradise, Ca., and many places these days, where disaster capitalists use weather control & microwaves to destroy communities.
Ive been stocking powdered foods for a long time and intermittently use them when I am practicing disaster rationing. My second project in my new dehydrator after making jerky was dehydrating vegetables I didn't use. I also get these $2 bags of diced vegetables and dry them out completely then blend them into what I call "nutrient powder" that I use for thickening soups, stews and broths. One day I hope to get a freeze dryer but here in Australia its bloody expensive and even more so for imports. If youre using a dehydrator just make sure it gets hot enough to actually cook and kill any bad stuff. This is key to long term preservation.
Great ideas! Thx
Thanks! That is a helpful tip. Just started dehydrating. The bags of diced veggies, you buy, is that frozen?
@@durbsgirl1014 yes, frozen, they are usually pretty cheap in the diced versions and they always dice them into small 0.5 to 1cm cubes perfect for dehydrating, no cutting up necessary. All I do is let them defrost, give them a hot bath just to make sure they are cleaned off and then throw them in the dehydrator and check them every 6-8 hours to see if they are fully dried. Another tip is to let them cool down in the dehydrator before you blend them so no humidity is generated by the difference in air temperature.
@@ValkyrieGothic How do you store the powder? Do you put it in jars & use the vacuum sealer machine or do you put it into Mylar? Do you taste the powder when you add it to things? I’m fascinated right now, sorry for all the questions, lol.
@@shelpippg2202 I store it in either vac sealed Mylar bags or mason jars with plenty of oxygen absorbers. I do taste it occasionally unless it has onion in it. For some reason the onion makes the powder taste odd but once it’s actually used in something it tastes much better. When I’m adding any herbs to the mix I definitely taste test it to make sure I’m not overdoing it
Onion Powder is a must have, along with celery powder, cumin, and chili powders.
Ive had my freeze dryer busy for almost 2 years. I have chickens and freezed dried about 80 dozen eggs and still going. ive freeze dried my garden veggies and a lot of meat. HOWEVER, something ive recently started doing came to mind when i saw this show that demonstrated storing powders. Specifically, certain vegetables I've been grinding after freeze drying. Green beans, zucchini, apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., and can be reconstituted to side dishes or added to soups/stews. Just 'food for for thought.'
Thanks for your podcasts.
Thank you Canadian Prepper. Excellent ideas and things that I didn't think of. I have some of the powders but you have broadened my thinking and I really appreciate that and I am sure many others who watched this video feels the same way. God bless and keep moving forward.
I recently made a contact with someone who can give me two-dozen farm fresh eggs per week, for free. I cannot tell you how happy this makes me on the basis of storage value alone. I've gone ahead and pickled some and coated others in mineral oil, now stored in my basement. And, of course, they taste great fresh.
Have you tried glassing them? You store them in glass jars with water mixed with pickling lime. They last for over a year.
@@cindykq8086 Yes, I do this.
Last year I had so many eggs I couldn't find enough ppl to take them. I gave them away for free and still wound up having to freeze 3 2 litter bottles of scrambled up eggs. I'm just dehydrating them now. Wish someone close to me would ask. I have 5 dozen sitting on the counter right now and I've got to many already put up. Anyone reading close? NW Ga???? I'll give them to you.
@@JCC_1975 god bless you for the offer, what a great gift!
@@JCC_1975 Time for a freeze drier! I am going to get one too!
Another great one for lactose intolerant/vegan prepper a is Nutritional Yeast. It is a yeast based spice that has a nutty cheesy flavor. It is LOADED with protein and all of the essential vitamins including B12. It’s delicious on every type of food and has a ridiculously long shelf life. We keep a few pounds of it on hand at all times.
Watching channels that are so successful that have obviously done so little research on the things they’re talking about really inspires me to want to start a TH-cam channel on virtually anything thank you for inspiring me
I totally agree!
Literally no one is stopping you
I store a lot of kale powder. Extremely heathy, extremely easy to make and cheap.
Do you make with dehydrator ? How long is the shelf life ?
@@Country_Creations yes I make in my dehydrator. I vacuum seal it with an O2 absorber. I have some that's 5 years old and is still fresh tasting.
Cream of wheat is also a great source of iron. It could make a huge difference in well-being if things go south and you're a female between 13 - 55 years old.
I’ve read that we can also get iron from the foods we cook in cast iron pots and skillets.
Leafy greens are my wife's go-to when the doom times are upon her.
Excellent information. I wanted to mention regarding Turmeric -- it also makes a pleasant tea (mix with milk powder, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom (if you have), sweetener if desired and water), the curcumin properties activate best with some fat. Besides as an edible, Turmeric is also valuable as a medicinal and disinfectant for wound healing (works well) = pack a wound with turmeric powder then bandage securely, it speeds healing and disinfects; it can also help slow/stop bleeding. Turmeric powder is also fun used to dye clothing, paper, many items -- put some Turmeric powder in water of any temperature, submerge an item, wait for it to turn desired color, then rinse out in water to get rid of the Turmeric (gritty) powder, works well with woven, muslin, cotton, even some synthetics (they don't take the "dye" as well) -- this use could be entertaining for children, beautify objects, can also use as "ink" or paint -- of course it also dyes flesh and lasts a while (like henna tattoo). A good "ink / paint / dye" combo is turmeric + coffee or tea. Thank you :)
I love this video, i'm from the UK so some things are a little different. I think you should do a video where you make a weeks worth of meals from just the dry powders. I had a few pancakes, smoothies and soups mentally mapped out before you brought out the potato flakes and curry powders.
Someone below mentioned drink mixes,
Thats a great one! there's Gatorade, tang, ice tea, lemonade, mango, horchata, etc.
Crystal Light for sugar free too!
Tang for 100% of your daily vitamin C needs.
Dehydrated mushrooms are like umami nukes
I dehydrated a bunch of cheap mushrooms to use in soups, and wound up eating all of them as snacks lol. They have such a good flavor, different from fresh/cooked mushroom.
Activated charcoal is another must. I have kids with food allergies and it's always with us.
Great video! I am in no way a rich person but have a moderately productive garden homestead, and this is how I preserve a lot of my goods!
Powdered citric fruit peels. The vitamins and minerals are in the peels not the juice. You can add them to smoothies or bake goods.
Nice!
It is best to use organic fruit as I hear the herbicide and pesticide sprays on commercial citrus farms can be intense.
Quinine
This was really excellent in information and idea's...one thing I would add, at least for myself, would be Nutrition Yeast. I love this stuff on popcorn, spaghetti, soups and stews. It is great if you are lactose intolerant as well as a cheese substitute (not me). I am putting away as well a lot of seasonings, oregano, garlic, onion(powder/flakes), red chili, Cheyenne, pepper, salt, etc...
Nutritional Yeast on popcorn w/garlic & butter is my fav!
Yes!!! Great idea
Great B vitamins and tastes great!
you will be making tasty food with that lot FAT BEARD ;D
Its very filling!
Yup yup and yup! More videos on the harvest right pleaseeeee! I just got mine 3-4 weeks ago and I run it around the clock to dry summer fruits and meats and tomorrow is actually egg day! Those of us who’ve forked over that money for those dang machines are all just looking for people with answers about how to do the weird stuff, you seem like the right person for that job!
Finally a Canadian Prepper! I have been looking a long time for a source in my own country. Thanks for the info!
I would add ground black pepper, it is a great alternative to stop blood from a wound. As a chef we use it often, you get a cut you apply black pepper on it with pressure (no it will not burn) it will help stop the bleeding fast as long as you keep some pressure on it for 2-3 minutes. do not rince right away put a band aid or gaze and give it a good hour. rince the cut after and you will be able to move on.
We always use cayenne pepper for wounds. Helps clot the wound quickly and will aid in healing. Just sprinkle on, bandage and let it alone. Have used this method for many years. I once sliced off the end of my little finger on a mandolin slicer, was alone and had no way to get to a hospital. The slice was longitudinal so there was no way to close off the cut. It bled heavily. I dipped the finger into cayenne, kept elevated as the powder dried up and applied more as necessary, then bandaged it. Bleeding was halted and the tissues grew back over time including the nail bed and nail. Yes it burned just a slight bit but I figured it was like cauterizing a wound only way less painful. To look at it today you would never know it happened.
I always had a container of pepper when I was trimming my goats feet. It stops bleeding almost immediately.
I always use turmeric for this
I also use the Mylar bags and oxygen obsorbs. The extras go into a jar and I use that in my working pantry. Don’t waste your extra garden veggies, dehydrate and put up folks.
An ultraviolet light torch helps you see if foods have turned.
I freeze-dry a wide variety of veggies and fruits, then powder them. They are great for adding to soups and stews and used as a breading on fresh meats, bread, veggies, etc. They can be used to flavor water too.
Another great video, couple things I never thought of and that’s why I keep coming back 👍🏻
Everytime I get sick I drink hot turmeric, honey and pepper tea and feel surprisingly better within an hour or two.
Ants plz
Amts
Thanks. So glad to finally see a survivalist prepper share this info. I have many powdered foods I've been storing for when things go down. I also use them as medicine.
Today I used my ‘cash earned back’ to buy 2 milling blades for my blender. I plan to mill and powder different foods and herbs. One step at a time. I can’t get a freeze dryer, but my oven has a dehydrate function. Making do, to do what needs doing. 🙏👍 Ty for all of your video’s, been subbed for a few years. 👍🙏
For plant based eaters:
Yellow grits, vital qheat gluten to make fake type meats in chickon f and Baef flavors. Ground seeweed to add to ground cgickpeas for mock tuna. Also, I buy dehydrated coconut milk in mylars. I have a book on blending differentl seasonings for a wider variety of taste.
Thank you!!
Where do you get coconut milk powder? I've only seen it in little packets at a high price.
What's your book on blended seasonings? I'm curious.
@Stephanie yup, but have you tried vital wheat gluten?
@@markm8188 I blend what I like without a recipe! Also, I buy books from A on line...you know the one and just enter blending seasons
For us corn powder is a break fast..look at harina de maiz and sorrullitos de maiz recepies. Enjoy!
We also take corn powder to the breakfast table too 🤟
Three additional things we keep are nutritional yeast, for it’s many uses. Ground flaxseed, which can be used as an egg replacement in baking, a thickener, and a source of fiber. Also, tvp, which can be used in place of ground beef or to stretch your ground beef, stores for a long time, and you can fit several meals into a gallon sized jar.
What's TVP?

I'm not a prepper but I do have at least a dozen powdered or freeze dried items from hash browns to cheese because they are just so convenient. I also use them sometimes in homemade MREs as I live in Florida. No, I've never hade to use them in an emergency but they are fun to have sometimes. It's amazing the variety of shelf stable stuff you can get and how you can mix and match them to make everything from soups to deserts like pies and stuff. Thanks for an informative video.
As a kid my family didn’t have a lot of money and we had to have powdered milk so I really got sick of it but in a survival scenario yes I will stock it 👍👍
add a teaspoon of sugar and a drop of vanilla to the instant milk - makes it taste a lot better
Try NIDO it’s whole milk and tastes much better
Same
I have flavored jello to add to the milk. My Mom did that when we were kids and had to drink the stuff. Any kid likes pink or blue milk.
IMHO no one should be drinking milk!.
I do the following dehydration and then grind it into powders:
-swiss chard 18:1
-pumpkin 16:1
-onions 16:1
-pumpkin 15/16:1
-oranges/lemons with peels 16:1
-sweet potato raw 16:1
-beetroot raw or cooked 16:1
-Potatoes cooked 15:1
-garlic never measured
-paw paw 17/18:1
-meat 15:1
-moringa 18:1
-sweet & greek basil 18:1
-rosemary 17/18 :1
-tomatoes 16-17:1
The drying ratios are kg wet food to 1 kg dried and powdered food
Potatoes we find best pressure cooked for 20 min
Depressurised, sliced into 6mm slices then dehydrated and ground up
Mashing it first and then dehydrating it was not successful
To make mashed potatoes you add 2 heaped tablespoons potato powder and then add boiling water and spices/herbs of your choice and allow to rehydrate
Add some butter and mix in and its delicious
We simply dehydrate bananas, apples, pineapples etc in slices or rings and eat them as dried fruit as snacks. Only thing to bear in mind is the sheer quantity you can consume in dehydrated form. 4 slices of dried banana is equal to a whoke banana. 5 rings of dehydrated apple is a whole apple. Same with the tomato rings.
Extremely nutrient dense. 1 teaspoon of swiss chard is equal to 2-3 leaves of chard.
Thanks for all your info
Keep on keeping on
Heads up
Eyes open
No fear
Great info!
Be safe everyone.
I make my own turmeric capsules and take one 2 times a day. I used to take Aleve (Naproxen) but replaced it with my turmeric capsules. If I forget to take one, I realize it pretty easily, so I know it works. I add black pepper to the turmeric before making the capsules. As you age, it should be the go-to med instead of ibuprofen or naproxen.
That's interesting.
I'm on Naproxen for a Frozen Shoulder at the moment.
How do you make Turmeric capsules?
How much turmeric powder to how much black pepper??? I was disappointed when I used a mixture of mostly turmeric and wild lettuce that I got from a natural pharmacy as a tea. I drank it for 2 weeks and felt nothing. I would appreciate your expertise. Thank you.
Celery powder to flavor dishes. Had to dry it and pulverize it myself. It smells wonderful
I buy one bag of powdered milk at every other grocery trip. Hurts the purse a little at $8-16 a bag, depending on quantity. Since the dry stuff has a history of tasting less than palatable, I make sure I've got flavored drink mixes on-hand (chocolate, strawberry, etc.), so the kids will drink it.
Good idea.
Good idea..it does taste bad
So sad that the milk marketing boards and milk quotas and advertising sold milk s a necessary part of our diet. Humans, one of the only animals to drink another animals milk wayyyyy past weening and contribute to the full pockets of many and now we hear the complaints about cow farts and their contribution to the fake climate change propaganda...sigh
@@eyewideopen9083 As a Wisconsinite, I neither want nor need a lecture on milk consumption. Heh. Move along, please.
@@CrystalBrightz no worries, to each their own... you seem to be concerned though with the cost of a product that perhaps “we” have un-necessarily conditioned to need in a daily diet... keep on buying powdered milk all you desire, no complaint from me.
Here's a recipe for pure vitamin c. Dehydrated organic orange peels with one lemon peel.
Peel your orange and cut it into very thin strips dehydrate it until it is crisp. Let it cool. Put it in a coffee grinder and grind it as smooth as you can. Store it in a jar. Take daily. 🌞
There are also a lot of vegetable powders like kale, spinach, tomato etc. I've been buying these up for extra nutrients to supplement over the winter if the grid goes down or when I can't grow an indoor or garden in my climate. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the advice CP. I'd love to be able to freeze dry food, maybe by next summer. Can I suggest you ad Ovaltine to your prepper pantry? It is high in iron and is a great sweet mood altering beverage.
I'm a 2x colon cancer survivor who is now unfortunately tied to the medical system and cannot eat processed food. I'm older so have always had a garden but now I plant and grow herbs, veges, fruit and medicinal plants not just salad greens and tomatoes.
I dehydrated and ground up all the excess beet leaves, swiss chard and 3 different types of kale for adding to soups, stews and smoothies. I also dehydrated tomatoes, onions, leeks, celery, carrots, parsnips, garlic and all of the herbs that didn't go into flavored kosher salts :)
I also segregated and planted a very nutritious, prolific weed called purselane. I got it as a volunteer from a greenhouse and looked it up to see what it was. I cooked with it and didn't die so next year I will let it go wild with the other perrenial herbs, fruits and veges. Thanks for the tips.
My family has eaten Purslane for years because it grows wild and is very nutrition.
If u r gonna get parmasean, just get the real thing and store it. The powder has cellulose filler. The real stuff is better for u and stores out in the open also.
Mountain House and other companies make dehydrated cheese in the cans.
I dry lots of greens: spinach, kale, beet tops, dandelion greens, etc and then powder it for smoothies. As well, I dry tomatoes and powder it and it adds a punch of flavour to sauce.
If you need Dandelions, I have a plethora of them in my yard to my neighbours' chagrin.
I was hoping somebody would bring up homemade green powder! Besides what you listed, I use carrot tops, plantain, amaranth leaves, and sweet potato leaves. It's such a great way to include extra nutrients in meals.
@@marymansfield6900 Green powder? You mean Solent Green?
Tomato powder - yes!
I have never worked with dandelion greens. Are they bitter?
Canadian Prepper, great video as always. We freeze dry milk regularly and it works great! Tastes so much better than store bought powdered milk. If someone does not have access to Freeze-Dried foods, then powered is must have!
Thanks for all of the info you are helping others to prepare with!
Great video CP!
We recently started saving instant refried beans. I forget the brand, but they are great. Ready in just a few minutes, and you can make as little or as much as you need.
Also, there's chili powder. Good way to spice up bland food
Also, i save the powdered coffee creamer. I believe you talked about freeze dried instant coffee the other day.
I second City Prepping- EXCELLENT. Especially the Egg powder, Cacoa, Tumeric, & CURRY (Where I'm from in the Caribbean, we can't live without that spice!). The Fruit Juice Mix could also be Ascobic Acid (Vit C Powder). Adding Coconut Milk Powder would have been great also!!! (To mix with Tumeric tea, etc etc)
Where I live we have a LOT of pine trees. Supposedly the needles can be brewed as a tea for a hit of vitamin C. Haven't gotten up the nerve to try it.
How long do these things last in mylar with 02 absorbers??
Like coffee creamer ans egg powder from the store?
Will it get all hard and gross?
Just stumbled on your channel! Omg, your videos are on another level🤯 Just what I need! Thank you so much
Thankfully I stumbled across your page. I love learning more about food, nutrition, food storage, and how to be more versatile/efficient with foods :-)
Cinnamon also helps balance your blood sugar, particularly when taking in the morning.
Turmeric used with black pepper.
Really, really good content, Nate. Thanks! I'll be updating my pantry!
Thanks!! Man when information is free. This is soooo helpful!!
Super awesome and helpful information. I love these videos! This should be your primary format with news sprinkled in 👍
I bought a harvest right and freeze dry Costco business center frozen fruits and veg. Super easy . The fruits make great powder for smoothies and baking.
I love my harvest right FD too! I was doing fruits and vegetables too, but moved onto meats to hedge supply shortages and inflation. Keep sharing as I like to learn from others.
Great idea. Thanks for the tip.
@@davagain just an update did Apple slices from Costco frozen 4kg and they turned pink. I think it might be citric acid on them. All the other frozen fruits turned out great tho
"I bought some powdered water but don't know what to add."

Try powder powdered air with a little bit of love and some sunshine we love you
@@angelarichmond1617 🥰
Have you tried running the harvest right on one of the solar generators? That would be an interesting video to watch, to see if you can keep using it on a off grid homestead after shtf
I have been dehydrating veggies n powdering them. Tomatoes, peas, beets, carrots etc. It has been working well. Also fruit like oranges, bananas, strawberry, blueberry, peaches and apples. Great for baking n smoothie. Veggie powers are added to gravies for extra vitamins. Also great for soups and stews. I love the powdering. It really saves on storage space.
Great list CP! Thank you!
DONT FORGET NUTRITIONAL YEAST !! Way better for season popcorn noodles - so tasty 😋
I love it on mashed potatoes, too!
@@mcccmu wow ! I’m going to have to try that ! 😀
I used the peels from my blanched tomatoes for canning, dehydrated it and then powdered it. Something I had thrown out in the past.
Love that you included cheese powder and I love the display text. Got a like and subscribe from me but you were pretty much there before that moment. Great information. Thank you.
Ive been stocking up on whey protein powder for years, from my experience it lasts 10 years with little change for the purposes of emulsifying. Probably lasts longer then that nutritionally and i would highly recommend it for anyone with a stockpile, protein is by far the hardest to get into your long term food preps and nothing comes remotely close value wise.
How do you store it? In the original container or other?
@@SuperWhatapain i store it in the original container but mylar plus oxygen absorbers would prob be better even though the packaging has no air in it unless faulty or opened. I believe they spray nitrogen into it before sealing since there is no oxygen absorbers in it.
Protein sources:
Spirulina 57g per 100g
Sunflower seeds 21g per 100g
Rolled oats 25g per 100g
Coming from looking up vegan protein sources. These are all easy to store long term.
@@moonrayne27 I agree with sunflower seeds and Spirulina (especially)
Dollar tree sells a sugar free Tang, orange juice powder, in individual packets.
I made dried rice powder. I just blended it up to a powder
I add it to soups.
Turmeric does have anti-inflammatory properties, which are made stronger when mixed with a bit of black pepper. I used it to help manage pain and cut down on the number of pills I had to take. At first all I could taste was it's bitterness, but turmeric gets nice once you get used to that and start tasting the flavour behind it.
One thing to note... It makes your gall bladder work harder. This isn't a problem for most people, but I'm sure there are health conditions where it would be.
I use to take a hand full of different prescription pills. Many broken bones depression and anxiety. I take occasional ibuprofen but not on the daily. I use essential oils and I put turmeric in my teas along with ginger cinnamon and black pepper. I love it. I've had operations on my shattered collar bone and ibuprofen pulled me out of that. I shattered my L-4 and L-5 in my back and I took ibuprofen to pull me through that. Broken fingers and ribs. Won't take anything stronger that ibuprofen. But, but I will be giving sea moss a try. Get those ibuprofen right out of my body. I will keep them on hand though. I'm not totally crazy.
