3. Dried fruits and vegetables
Yes, fresh products have a really short shelf life, but dried ones are actually considered non-perishable. Most dried fruit can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 1 year when properly stored. Dried vegetables can be kept about six months—again, when properly sealed and stored (vacuum-sealed packaging can help prevent spoilage).
You can select your favorite ones from a variety of dried fruits and vegetables such as dried berries, apples, tomatoes, and carrots. However, you can easily use a dehydrator or your oven to make your own healthy dried fruits and vegetables. Enjoy them as a snack or add dried veggies to your soups and stews.
