Freeze Dried Ground Beef and other Goodies



We have the opportunity right now to participate in a Group Buy for some amazing freeze dried foods and Cacao Powder.  This is an opportunity that just came up but the deadline is soon, so there isn't much time if you'd like to order.  You can make the checks out to me and please get them to me by SEPTEMBER 26TH.

Freeze Dried Ground Beef


This is USDA grade ground beef.  It packs protein and is extremely easy to use and very versatile.  It is completely cooked and slightly seasoned with salt. The meat is actually quite bland by itself, which makes it excellent for adding to all your favorite recipes without changing the flavor.  All you do is rehydrate for 5 minutes with hot water and use it like you would any cooked ground beef.   Delicious and should be  a staple in your food storage with endless uses (think tacos, enchiladas, taco salad, skillet dishes, soups, anything calling for ground beef).  Each can is 1 lb 11 oz (1.70 lbs) with an estimated 25 year shelf life.  A serving is 1/2 cup for a total of 20 servings per can (or about 10 cups of FD Ground Beef per can).  Normally these cans sell for $48-$50 but we have this group buy offer to get them for $32 per can.  This is an EXCELLENT price and will only go up in the future.

Price per can $32


Freeze Dried Sweet Potatoes


Sweet potatoes are loaded with essential nutrients and are an unsurpassed source of the powerful antioxidant, beta cartotene.  They are also an excellent source of Vitamin A and contain loads of fiber and potassium. They also contain Vitamin C, Calcium and B Vitamins.  Wonderful addition to both our diet and our food storage!   They are easily hydrated with boiling water and can be used in baked goods, soups, stews, or simply mashed.  Chunks are just the right size to add directly to a stew.  

Price per can $16.


 Cacao Powder


Cacao powder is full of anti-oxidants polyphenols and flavanols.  It also contains magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, copper, potassium, selenium and zinc.  It is often labeled as a SUPERFOOD.  Some of the touted benefits are that it improves mood, reduces risk of heart disease, combats fatigue, lowers blood pressure, improves brain functions and helps to prevent premature aging. This is not your average Hershey’s cocoa powder—more the rich, dark dutch style cacao. 

Price per can $24

If you would like to order, please let me know ASAP and remember all money is due by September 26th.  No late orders can be accepted.

  1. How many ounces of cocao powder is it? Can it you substitute it for cocoa powder in your recipes?

  2. Jackie, it is 3 lbs. Yes, you can use it for anything you'd use cocoa for. It is a little different--cacao is the raw, unprocessed powder from the beans where cocoa has been heated. This has been washed with an alkali wash to remove some of the bitterness and cacao retains a lot of the nutrients that are lost from heat processing (this is the stuff they are talking about when they say chocolate is good for you...)
