<\/a><\/p>\nCanned meat products are typically cooked for a long time and at a high temperature in order to can them safely. This can reduce the nutritional value of canned meat. However, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s better than NO meat for those of us with no space to raise chickens or rabbits! Canned and Dried meats are also very high in sodium, required for preserving them. Eating them with beans (from dried) and rice can help balance the sodium for the meal as long as you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t add additional salts while cooking your starches.<\/p>\n

Aside from what you can get in your neighborhood grocery, there are meat options specifically designed for long storage, emergency preparedness, off the grid\/camp cooking. Companies such as Yoder, Emergency Essentials, Mountain House, Wise Foods, Thrive, etc. offer canned meats (typically freeze dried), but prepare to pay through the nose. A #10 can of ground beef (equal to about 7 lb. cooked fresh hamburger) will set you back 60-70$ Sodium content is typically better on freeze dried products over canned.<\/p>\n
Let me say \u00e2\u20ac\u201c In my college days, I spent about 8 months working for Oregon Freeze Dried Foods (Mountain House is their own brand name; they also do government freeze drying and for private companies. They used to do nutria-system foods for instance). And I tried quite a few different types of their freeze dried foods. They really are quite tasty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
