PACKAGING AND STORAGE OF DRIED FOOD
The dried food must be cool prior to storage (otherwise it may steam up and spoil). Wait for about one week
before packing for long-term storage.
We recommend packing the dried pieces in smaller quantities, so that you can use up the whole pack after
opening.
Ideally, store the dried food in sealable glasses, or cloth or paper bags.
CONSUMPTION OF DRIED FOOD
1. The food can be consumed or processed dry.
2. The food can be soaked before consumption or processing as follows:
Pour cold water into a pot, submerge the dried pieces and let them swell in a fridge for 1-8 hours
de-pending on the food type. The volume of food will increase up to double.
To retain the nutritional value of the dried food, you can use the water for cooking and preparation
