FREEZE DRIED EGGS @ ROX
Freeze-dried eggs are an incredibly useful and versatile way to store eggs, whether for the short or long term.
Eggs are one of those things that are a little harder to preserve. You can freeze them for a few months, water glass them up to 18 months, but the only way to store them long term is to freeze dry them. This method will make the eggs last for 20+ years and maintain almost all of the nutritional value (98%).
The best part is, they are easy to store and don’t take up a lot of space (especially precious freezer space.)
Store in a glass jar for short term storage or a mylar bag with an oxygen absorber for long term storage.
Freeze-dried eggs can last 20+ years if stored properly.
Preserving eggs during times of abundant supply, or accumulating for long term food security… we like to call it our Protein Bank :)
Also great and easy to travel with, for hikers and backpackers!
What can you do with freeze dried eggs?
You can use freeze-dried eggs for anything you would use a fresh cracked beaten egg for. This could be for baked goods, scrambled eggs, omelets, an egg-wash, and so much more!
How to use freeze dried eggs :
One egg equals 2 tablespoons of freeze dry powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.
How long will freeze dried eggs last?
There are a lot of differing opinions here. I’ve seen some places say 5-10 years, while others say 20+ years.
Are freeze-dried eggs healthy?
Yes! Almost all of the nutrients remain in eggs that have been freeze dried. Freeze drying is one of the healthiest food preservation methods because it maintains the majority of the nutrients.

Tomatoes are a staple in our home!!
Gardening season every year should really be called TOMATO SEASON :)
Ok, maybe tomato and garlic!! Every year we look forward to growing and then enjoying our garden-fresh, juicy tomatoes!!!
And mourn every season, when they’re gone!!
You can only eat so many fresh tomatoes, and believe me, we eat them with EVERY meal all summer… but we are always left with an abundance when the summer comes to an end.
Traditionally, we would preserve our tomatoes in jars, and enjoy them all winter, but since we’ve purchased our Harvest Right freeze dryer, we have been LOVING freeze drying them instead!
There is nothing quite like picking a vine ripe tomato and eating it straight from the garden..
When I reconstitute my freeze dried tomatoes, they have that same fresh flavour that you just don’t get from a jar.
Freeze drying has allowed for multiple EASY preservation methods :
Slices of Tomatoes - you can add to a sandwich or burger and in moments it will start to absorb all the juices and flavours and bring a fresh taste to your sandwich/burger!
Diced/Chopped Tomatoes - we love adding these to stews, soups, chili’s, salsas… the options are endless.
My favourite way is to puree the fresh tomatoes and freeze dry them into a powder! This powder is SO versatile and you can add it to SO many things!
I love storing them in an airtight mason jar, and simply by adding a little bit of water, I can make anything from a tomato paste, to a sauce, to even a juice!! The amount of water you add back in, will determine the consistency!
The rest we store in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, for long term storage!
When properly sealed/stored, freeze dried food is shelf stable for 25+ years!!!!
Imagine… it’s 2055, and you pop open that bag of tomatoes from 30 years ago, and it tastes and smells like the day you picked it off the vine!! :) Amazing!!

WHY EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING TALLOW 🐄🐂
Did you know that beef tallow is actually SO GOOD for you?
We’ve been brainwashed to believe that saturated fat can kill us but in fact, fat is a vital component of our health and well being. It’s been a staple in traditional cooking for centuries and has recently made its way back into kitchens (click link below for blog).
ROX is taking pre-orders NOW for our next batch of grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow in the works!! We source only the best suet from the amazing Grandview Pastures - a family owned regenerative farm
