Destiny Survival

            You now have another excellent choice for purchasing long term storage food.  It’s Harmony House Foods.  This should be of special interest if you’re not able to buy a supply for several months to a year at one time.  Harmony House Foods offers a wide selection of individual items and sample packages.

Harmony House Foods offers four main sizes of items. AZip Pouch contains approximately 1 cup of product.  A plastic jar contains 1 quart.  A Jumbo Jug is a plastic jug which contains 1 gallon.  A Bulk Box is a 12 x 12 x 12 box of product.

            When you click on the logo for Harmony House Foods web site, you’ll see several categories to choose from, such as: Freeze Dried Fruit, Dehydrated Vegetables, Dehydrated Beans, TVP (Meat Substitute), Vegan Soup Blends, Freeze Dried Veggies, Baking & Specialty items, and Samplers and Family Size items.

The nutritional content of dehydrated vegetables is nearly identical to that of fresh vegetables.  Harmony House Foods says the slow, air drying process preserves the nutrition while evaporating the water.  You are left with concentrated nutrition.  Of all the food processing techniques available, dehydrated products maintain more of their nutrition than their frozen or canned counterparts. You can enjoy the longer shelf-life of dehydrated products, the convenience, and the taste without sacrificing the nutrition!

The suggested shelf-life of their products (opened or sealed) is 12-24 months, depending on the climate where you are and what you do with your order.  Harmony House Foods says most customers can expect a long shelf-life.   Some users prefer to buy the boxes or jumbo jugs and repackage items in a vacuum sealed container, and this would extend the life even longer.

How much do you get from dehydrated food?  If there is a 1 to 8 ratio listed on a product, it means that 1 pound of dry product would reconstitute to 8 pounds of fresh product.  Most dehydrated products are very light, and adding the water back to the product greatly increases the weight.

Here’s something really helpful I know you’ll appreciate.  Harmony House Foods has prepared a basic primer in using dehydrated products for you to download from their site.  It will give you many tips and techniques for everyday cooking.  They’ve also put together a Serving Size Chart that serves as a guideline for you to use in figuring out your needs.

You’ll be glad to know they have received glowing comments from FDA inspectors regarding their quality standards.  They go above and beyond the standards for Good Manufacturing Practices as outlined for food packagers.

Harmony House Foods will always seek to give you the best value for the money. They proudly display their products in clear bags and containers so you can see exactly what you’re getting.  They consider their customers as "family" and treat them as such. Thousands of customers keep coming back again and again.

I suggest you try what Harmony House Foods has to offer by starting out with something like the Bean Sampler.  The "Easy Cook" Beans & Legumes are a MUST for every kitchen. If you need beans in a hurry, but don’t want to go through the trouble to sort, clean, rinse, and soak them overnight, here’s the solution.  This pack contains their Zip Pouch size of Lentils, Split Peas, Red Beans, Black Beans, Navy Beans, Great Northern Beans, Dark Kidney Beans, and Pinto Beans.  There are 8 in all.
