I want to know what food storage food has the best taste and the longest shelf life?
When in the service we had C rations and later MRE’s. I have heard about freeze dried food and dehiderated food but do know much about it.
Any information will be greatly appreciated and sources to buy it from also.

Several years back I ran across cases and cases of one gallon (?) cans of dehydrated foods at a yard sale. I bought them dirt cheap. They were expired that or the next year but I ate them off and on for another four years. They were nitrogen packed and just fine.
Dried peanut butter was fine for cooking
peas and carrots were a little on the sweet side, but okay
the tomato paste powder was nasty, pured those cans out in the garden
scrambled egg powder was great, especially used as an extender with fresh eggs
chocolate pudding sucked
threw away or gave away the powdered milk.. off color off taste even when mixed with fresh
Remember – these were all expired – the food hoarders had replaced their stock and more or less gave the stuff to me at a yard sale.
I just remembered the brand name – rainyday foods – walton feed carries them, see link below.
Flour, salt, coffee, rice, beans, hardtack, side of bacon, and dried greens… I think that’s what the settlers insisted on… maybe not the dried greens, but what the hey ? :p
edit: looking at that page I remeber my two favorites; there were cans of dehydrated potatoes and big cans of dried cheese that made exceelent augratin potatoes.
edit:2 http://waltonfeed.com/cart/all.html#2 look for the sample pack at this link… it’s about $12 and then youd know if it’s palatable food :p
K075-Sample Pack-15 items 32 oz #10 can $12.60 sweet corn, peas, vegetable stew, potato dices, tomato powder, apple slices, strawberry flakes, bananas, fruit mix, whole egg powder, cheese, margarine powder, instant milk, peach drink and taco meat substitute
I got a heck of a deal, I paid less than $1 a can at the yard sale. The chesse is over $50 now.
added: Freeze dried foods are superior in flavor to dehydrated, btw, but much more expensive.

I don’t know much about it either nor have I tried it. I have seen them before at places that sell outdoor equipment. army/navy stores and sporting goods stores sell them with the camping equipment.
