Food preservation

Growing up, I spent many days with my grandmother in her home. Maintained its emissions, and to work with her I learned a lot 'of plants, gardening, and methods of food preservation. One could say that I have learned to feed in the true sense of the word process.

The processing of food in the days before history began. People had to store food to survive, so they or their dried meat and vegetables, roots frozen stored in a cool, dry areas. Numberfoods are salted for the amount of time that would continue to increase. Processing and preserving food is a matter of survival.

These days, people still have their food in their homes, but the methods are improved. Growing up, I learned everything about the process of growing, preparing and maintaining various types of food. Canning of fruits and vegetables for blanching to freeze meat or poultry in a pressure Canner, I have learned many ways to makethe food last longer.

This is an interesting topic, because even if we think of unhealthy junk food when we hear the word "treated" there are methods of food processing that are not healthy. We used sugar and salt during processing, but the food is still healthy.

Since it is possible to process and store food without being unhealthy, we should all ask why so many additives in foods we buy at the supermarket.They can help keep the food longer, but it would be worth adding a couple of years to our lives in exchange for eating food that has not been that long?

I think the companies are concerned about their food as good as possible in order to add things like salt. Now that the excess sodium is so much of our daily food, we expect them.

Foods that have added salt can not be easily distinguished, and did not taste good to us. The same applies toadded fats and sugars in our food.

Yet there is hope out there in the supermarket. The recent attention to the health of many common foods has led food manufacturers to process more natural and healthy, which is very commendable on their part.
