Save Money at the grocery store by – Using it, Preserving it, and Storing it for 15 years with “My Food Bucket”

With the increasing inflation rate and the possibility of food shortage, “My Food Bucket” is a solution.

The idea is simple

• Use your food when you want
• Preserve your food so it will be fresh when you want to use it
• Store your food and continue to use fresh food for 15 years.

Two (2) options available

Option 1 … you purchase 50 lbs of dry food and bring it to us. We will seal the food in a 6 gal grade bucket to keep it fresh for 15 years. Fifty lbs of dry food will fill a 6-gallon bucket with a little left over. We get the leftovers for the bucket and our service.

Option 2 … You purchase a 15-year Five-(5) Pack Starter Kit for $25. With the Starter Kit you can up to 5 different dry foods in your food bucket simultaneously. You can use any of the foods and reseal the remaining food up to 100 times without losing any freshness for 15 years

Option 1 Derails…….. Special Introductory Offer—6 gal of dry food preserved for 15 years. You provide 50 lbs of your favorite dry food to the Sustainable Living Center, and we will fill and give you a 6-gal food-grade bucket with an airtight lid and a Nitrogen Flush.

You have to furnish the food. Make sure it is the food you want to take home for your family. 50 lbs of dry food is more than enough to fill a 6-gal bucket. We get the extra food that will not fit into your 6-gal bucket for our effort, bucket, and nitrogen gas. There are no fees with this option.

Can a person open and close the lid and keep the food fresh?

NO. Once the lid is open and exposed to air, it must be used up like any product you purchase and set on the shelf. But if you use either a Kappa or Gamma lid, as shown below, it is possible to keep the food fresh.

Is this new technology?

Nitrogen\Argon Flushing

When you pick up a bag of snack chips, you can hear and feel the chips banging around, and it seems like there’s much more air in the bag than actual chips. But it isn’t really like the air you breathe because the package doesn’t contain oxygen. All that ‘air’ is nitrogen gas.

Potato Chips bags are filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon to make them look more prominent. The bags are designed to protect the delicate foods inside from oxygen exposure and physical damage.  The gas replaces the oxygen in the bag—no worries about the gas.

 In fact, you’re exposed to nitrogen constantly because it makes up about 78% of the air you breathe.

Nitrogen flushing preserves and protects food from damage during storage. Nitrogen replaces oxygen in a food bucket. Unlike oxygen, nitrogen doesn’t react with foods or affect their flavor or texture, so they stay fresher longer.

All 15-25-year long-term storage foods seen on the internet are sealed in an inert gas.

How It Works

First, any dry food with 10% or less moisture and no fat is added to an available clean food-grade plastic bucket. Next, a machine forces the regular oxygen-rich air out of the bucket and immediately fills it with Nitrogen or Argon gas. Then, before the gas can escape, the bucket is sealed.

The gas-filled bucket protects the food inside for as long as the bucket is sealed. Of course, once you open the bucket, the nitrogen escapes and is slowly replaced by regular air, about 20% oxygen. That means the food inside is no longer protected and will start to deteriorate, and the oils or fats will become rancid. You can maintain some freshness by keeping the bucket closed with a Gamma or Kappa lid.

Why is long-term food storage important, and what you can do about it.

The My Food Bucket was developed to give people food when public food banks run out of food.

These buckets are available to anyone who presents 50 pounds of dry food (i.e., beans, rice, etc.) for their personal use (Call 541-765-2109 for questions about what food can be Nitrogen Flushed). The Sustainable Living Center will provide up to one (1) new food-grade 6-gal bucket, a permanent lid, and a Nitrogen Flushing Nitrogen.

If more than one bucket is desired:

1. More Buckets with Nitrogen Flush are available at $26
2. New Food Grade Buckets/ Regular Lids are available at @$13.
3. Nitrogen Flushed is available at $13/bucket if you have your buckets.
4. Call for an appointment, then bring your personal dry food to 82 Siletz Hwy to get your Food Bank Bucket with Nitrogen Flushed to take home for your Long-term food supply.

Air is the Enemy………

Gamma Lids

It would be best if you used Oxygen Eaters with these lids. When you open the bucket, oxygen will rush in and fill the empty space you made by removing some contained food from the bucket. The more food removed, the more Oxygen Eaters you need to remove the new oxygen.

Kappa Lids

.

Air is Out…. Fresh is In!…..

Air is the enemy!  When exposed to oxygen, food items generally start to break down by a process known as oxidation — leaving your brown sugar hard, your coffee bitter, and your flour stale.  Traditional “airtight” canisters do nothing more than seal the oxygen inside with your contents, allowing continual oxidation.

The Kappa Lid, gasket, and handle-valve system removes the air from the bucket as you push the lid down to the level of the stored food.

 

Most food storage containers don’t just store food; they store AIR with the food, which slowly eats away at its freshness.

Use the Kappa Lid for the bucket’s inner lid, and the air is forced out of a 6-gallon bucket so you can properly store whatever you have inside, regardless of how full it is.

The inner lid descends to the contents. It always forces the maximum air out, keeping food fresher for much longer.

What to Store?

Whatever you want to keep fresh!

A Kappa Lid Bucket is great for preserving bulk coffee, flour, rice, legumes, pet food, chicken feed, and much more.

You can purchase grains in 50-pound paper sacks and then pack them into your buckets. Literally, tons of food are thrown away because they are left in bags where they become susceptible to moisture, insects, and rodents. Keeping food storage safe and edible is just as important as acquiring it.

BY packing your beans, wheat, rice, oats, or other grains and food products, you can save money, which will be available in an emergency.

.

It is necessary to use food storage containers made specifically for food.  They must be made of HDPE plastic.  HDPE and has the number “2” on the bottom of the bucket.

For instance, the buckets from the big box stores are not designed for food products.

Kappa Lid Bucket vs Gamma Lid Bucket

Gamma Lids are the traditional airtight canister with a re-sealable, screw-top lid.

They are easy to open and close without breaking fingernails or pinching fingers!

The Gamma Seal Lid permanently transforms any 12″ diameter bucket into an airtight/leak proof storage container.

They don’t help preserve what’s inside. Instead, the air is trapped with the contents, slowly eating away the freshness. You introduce new air into the bucket every time you open the lid.

The Kappa Lid Bucket forces the air out, so you can access whatever you have inside as many times as you want, and the freshness of the stored food will still be preserved.

The inner lid descends, forcing the maximum air out, keeping food fresher and longer.

Oxygen Absorbers

Gamma Buckets MUST have oxygen absorbers to release the last little bit. Oxygen Absorbers are packaged in a vacuum in a pack of 10-100, depending on the size of the absorber. Once the pack is opened, the absorbers immediately start to absorb oxygen.

You can store your Oxygen Absorbers in vacuum packs until ready to use. For example, a five (5) gal bucket with a Gamma Lid must use 2000cc of Oxygen Absorber.

If you want 2000cc, it does not matter if you use four 500cc, two 1000cc, or one 2000cc absorber. There is no advantage or disadvantage to using one or ten absorbers as long as they add up to the ccs you seek.

Touch is the way to tell if absorbers will still absorb oxygen. An oxygen absorber that is still fresh will feel like it is filled with soft powder.

Absorbers that are used up become brittle inside and feel more like they are filled with coarse sand. Leave one out for a day, then handle it, and you will notice the difference.
