Frequently Asked Questions

What is freeze-dried food?

Freeze-dried food is a type of food preservation process where food is rapidly frozen and then the water content is removed through sublimation. This process locks in nutrients, flavor, and texture while extending the food's shelf life significantly.

Why should I buy freeze-dried food?

Freeze-dried food offers numerous benefits:

Long Shelf Life: It can last up to 25 years if stored properly.
Nutrient Retention: Unlike other preservation methods, freeze-drying retains most of the food’s original nutrients.
Environmentally Friendly: Reduced waste due to long shelf life and lightweight nature reduces transportation emissions.
Convenience: Lightweight, portable, and easy to prepare with just water.
Emergency Preparedness: Ideal for stockpiling during natural disasters, power outages, or other emergencies.

Are there health benefits to freeze-dried food?

Yes! Freeze-dried foods maintain up to 97% of their original nutrients. They are free from preservatives and artificial additives, making them a healthy and convenient option for anyone seeking nutritious meals.

How does Vodes Preparedness keep prices low while maintaining high quality?

At Vodes Preparedness, we’re committed to providing the best quality freeze-dried food at the most affordable prices. Here’s how we do it:

Commercially Licensed and USDA Federally regulated Home-Based Kitchen: Unlike large-scale operations with high facility costs, we operate out of a commercially licensed home-based kitchen. This allows us to maintain strict quality standards without incurring the massive overhead expenses associated with large commercial facilities.
Low Overhead Costs: By keeping our business lean and efficient, we can minimize unnecessary expenses. This means we don’t have to pass on the costs of expensive rent, utility bills, or a large workforce to our customers.
Small-Batch Production: Our food is made in small batches, allowing us to carefully monitor quality and reduce waste. This efficient production process helps us save money, and we’re proud to pass those savings directly onto you.
Focused on Value: We prioritize what matters most—delivering high-quality, nutrient-dense freeze-dried food without the frills that drive up costs.

Our goal is to make emergency preparedness affordable for everyone. By combining efficient operations, small-batch craftsmanship, and a commitment to our customers, Vodes Preparedness offers industry-leading prices without sacrificing quality.
