5 Food Storage Items That Will Last Longer Than Any Apocalypse

[Lightspeed]

We're drying fruit and mushrooms by thinly slicing and then laying out on drying frames in the loft. We also do the same with herbs

Fruit and mushrooms take about a week of hot weather to become well dried, and herbs as little as one hot day's worth in mid summer.

The drying trays are just wooden frames with nylon open weave curtain net stretched across them. This allows for good convection of air, speeding the drying process and preventing mould.

generally we go through the complete stock of dried fruit over winter, but mushrooms get used for years and years.
