Mountain House Foods uses the same process mandated by the US military

Friday, November 27, 2009 by Gilberts Guns Experts
Mountain House Foods uses a canning procedure which uses the same process mandated by the US military.

We all know that one of the most important areas of research in both survival equipment and products, and in weapons enhancements, is in the area of military development. Designs to protect our men and women in uniform while they face challenges in harsh environments thousands of kilometers away.

And its no surprise that this kind of technology provides the best results for products. 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.

Here is a product from Mountain House Foods which has been processed using this very method. The flavor is Golden Sweet Corn (#10 Can) which can serve 22 people.

Choosing between the can or the pouch by Mountain House Foods

Friday, November 27, 2009 by Gilberts Guns Experts
In addition to the advanced processing technology used by Mountain House Foods, there is also a choice in the packaging used for your food. Namely the can and pouch. There is a difference in capacity and in space utilization, both of which are very key to planning your camping or backpacking trip, or to stock up for emergencies.

Our recommendation is to use pouches for limited short-term emergencies. Use cans for potential extended emergencies, or an emergency situation affecting a lot of people. Cans generally offer a larger number of servings to feed more people. At the same time pouch packaging is flexible and might take up less space. New pouches are designed not to expand at high elevations. The cans have a convenient resealable plastic lid for utilization between uses.

Here is an example of a canned product - the Mountain House Beef, Cooked & Diced #10 Can (Serves 15)

Now that you know the packaging options available, pick the option that suits your requirements. Either way you can be assured of a quality meal that is tasty and nutritious. You can expect as much, with any product from Mountain House Foods.

Mountain House Food Storage combines the best of Freezing and Dehydration methods for Food storage.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 by Gilberts Guns Experts
One of the key elements of Mountain House Food Storage products is their food processing. Mountain House uses Freeze Drying to process food while packing. Freeze-drying has several advantages over other food preservation methods.

Frozen foods retain fresh flavor and nutritional value, but require uniform, low temperature storage conditions. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf-stable, but high-temperature processing can degrade flavor, texture and nutritional content. Freeze-drying combines the best of these processing methods. It preserves freshness, color and aroma similar to frozen food, while providing the shelf-stable convenience of canned or dehydrated food.

In simple words, its this combination of two complementary processes that allows Mountain House to give you food that combines long storage while still preserving taste and flavor. And offer food that is easy, simple and quick to cook.

Don't know which flavor to pick? Try the Lasagna With Meat Sauce #10 Can which serves 10 people.

Mountain House Food Storage products help you save water and fuel in an emergency

Mountain House Food Storage understands this aspect and builds it into their packaging process. Their freeze-dried foods are easy to prepare - just add hot water...wait 10 minutes...and eat!

If a heat source is not available, room temperature or cold water can be used, too
