So I decided to dehydrate food and pack it away.
I the idiot, I am tried the first few batches and vacuumed packed them.
Later on I decided the zip lock bags would do as well and put up vegetables dehydrated in them instead of sealing them air tight.
Last week Hubby came in to tell me there was a problem, the Zip lock bags had some kind of bugs in them.
I went in and removed all the zip lock bags of dehydrated vegetables and meat to find, all my hours and prep work had moving things in these bags I thought were sealed.
Where did they come from, had they survived the dehydration possess, is there a problem with the zip lock bags that allowes nasty to to get into the bag??????
Are, I ask some lave from whatever able to withstand the dehydration process and hatch on a small bit of air??
The vegetables I placed in the vacuum bag, now I wonder if they also have lava just waiting for oxygen to hatch.
Question , do I get so paranoid as to cook everything I dehydrate, then seal in a vaccum--------
Are the lava all ready on the vegetables and it is not the fault of the zip lock bags ?????
Gets down right nasty when we have to ask these questions about our food.
