I put anything that is going to be used down the road in Mylar. We do use many of the items on a daily basis. I just opened some bacon bits (TVP) and some gravy that I put up 6 years ago. I add to the storage every year and then we pull the oldest and put it into tupperware for the short term.
Here in CO moisture (or lack thereof) keeps the dehydrated stuff in good shape. we store the daily stuff in Tupperware. I know it is not cheap but it is a one time cost since it has a lifetime guarantee. And my mom was a manager for 20 years so all of mine was free.![]()
The only place I have seen anything other than tomato powder is grandmas foods. http://www.grandmascountryfoods.com/...ProductId=1162
