About Vacuum Sealing

Vacuum sealing is a handy way to keep food fresh longer. Using a good quality vacuum seal bag, you can create a tight seal that preserves freshness and prevents freezer burn. For extended shelf life, you can store sealed items in the freezer, fridge, or pantry.

Vacuum sealing is one of the important aspects of food packaging and storing, which is beneficial in the following:

Guaranteeing Nutritional Value: Proper preservation processes ensure consumers maximize the nutritional value of food.
Reducing Food Waste: Preserving fresh produce helps reduce food waste, almost one-third of the world's food supply annually.
Impact on the Environment: Efficient preservation methods decrease food waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and land degradation associated with food production, transportation, and disposal.
Enhancing Food Security: Preserving fresh food enables people and communities to stockpile food for longer durations, especially in areas where fresh food is limited or seasonal.
Maintaining Flavour & Quality: Proper preservation maintains fresh produce's texture, flavour, and quality for the ultimate enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best practices for vacuum sealing fresh fruits and vegetables?

To vacuum seal fresh fruits and veggies effectively, consider the following:

Wash and dry all fruits and veggies before vacuum sealing; use a salad spinner for leafy greens.
Certain vegetables, like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cabbage, etc., must be blanched and frozen before vacuum sealing.
To avoid crushing berries when vacuum sealing, freeze them first; wash, dry, and freeze them on cookie sheets before bagging and sealing.

What are things to consider when vacuum sealing?

When vacuum sealing, you need to consider the following:

Food preservation: Vacuum sealing doesn't replace refrigeration or freezing for perishable items.
Harmful bacteria: Some bacteria, like Clostridium botulinum, can thrive without oxygen, so maintain a clean environment to prevent contamination.
Spoilage prevention: Vacuum sealing doesn't stop food from spoiling; proper storage and handling are still essential.
ROP fish: Remove fish from vacuum-sealed packaging before thawing to prevent food safety risks.
