It works very well for dehydrated foods that you don’t want crushed.
Exactly!
We went to a seminar that included food storage tips and a vendor was telling people that they could can all kinds of nuts by dry canning. Just place them in a jar and seal - place in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours were the approximate directions.
We were very interested in this, however we have never been able to find confirm this. Most nuts have oils that I believe would go rancid even if they were dry canned or vacuum sealed. Peanut butter (non-MRE types that may or may not really be peanut butter) can’t be stored long term for this reason.
Am I wrong on this or do you or anyone else have any knowledge of this? It seems like dried/preserved nuts would be terrific food to keep on hand if they would last more than a few years. We have done a bit of googling without success.
Thanks in advance!
