Dehydrated Diced Celery Can | Emergency Food Supply, 73 Servings, 25 Year Shelf Life, Great for Cooking and Snacks, Dehydrated Meals

Great in recipes

I like having products on hand when I need them instead of having to make a trip to the store. These are perfect for that.

Some Augason Farms stuff I buy as emergency food, some I buy for regular use. If I can price out something in this form that is same price or less than other forms, then I go with this as it can be stored away or kept in my working pantry. I use a lot of Augason Farms, and I've been pleased with this. Dehydrated celery is a great addition to the pantry. Sometimes I dont have fresh, or I have fresh that went bad, or I dont find it in the store, or what is there looks bad, or price is way outside my budget. Having some dried celery tucked away in my pantry really helps stretch the budget and brings value to my time. I keep the recipe trifecta on hand, "mire poix": celery, carrot, and onion. I keep fresh, frozen, and dried on hand. Usually used in recipes that will help rehydrate these foods no problem. Celery is very easy to rehydrate. I usually just add to the cooking process and its good to go. Food scarcity is legit, so if you can stock up when items are on sale, then I recommend to do so. Consider it insurance. FYI: food and such are sold based on weight, not volume. There is 1lb, 2 oz packed in this #10 can (that reads, "number ten" not "ten pound"- it is a size of can). Using a #10 can means that it provides uniformity among storage. Emergency supplies are packed for long term and are packed to stack. They also float. They can be repurposed. Even if one gets a dent, contents are still good (unless and actual hole, which is not likely to happen). The food will not be filled to the brim, and also.. food settles after packing.

Product arrived in tact. Heard air escape when I opened the can, proof it was airtight. It was easy to open by using a cheap handheld can opener. It filled a 1/2 gallon mason jar and a quart sized one too. It settles so the jars were fuller and I suspect that's why many people are claiming to not have much in their cans. I dehydrate food, so I am familiar with how it behaves. It doesn't take away from the amount. If I gave that jar a shake, it would be full to the rim again. I don't suggest too much shaking because you'll end up creating powder because the food is brittle. It had barely any powder, maybe a teaspoon in the can from shipping. It does seem to have some stems included in the package. Wasn't too much to where I wouldn't recommend. It isn't something that I suspect will be any type of uniform pieces once reconstituted. It will be more useful as just throwing a pinch in soup or a casserole. I deducted a star because I can't really rate the taste, but it smells good and looks doable. It looks like any celery that I've dehydrated personally. It was a good value for the money. I'd have to run my dehydrator for 2 weeks daily to get close to that amount. I'd have to buy the celery, prepare, wear and tear on the dehydrating machine and pay the electricity. Some things make better sense to just buy. Other companies I looked into had similar prices for the amount. Many people aren't just buying the celery, they're buying the can. Be sure to not rely on the can after opening. It blocks out light, but that's about it. Move the food to a jar and put a desicant pack inside. Vacuum seal it if you can.

Freeze dried celery. If you like to add celery to your food but the fresh always goes bad, this is perfect for you. Once it is opened, put the leftovers in a ziplock bag with the oxygen absorber to stay fresh for months. I like not having to cut and chop. Great for soups and chilis.

Always good quality freeze dried veggies and fruits. Good value and excellent shelf life

Great flavor, good quality, takes some time to rehydrate, but adds color and flavor to recipes, nice to have on hand when you’re outta fresh celery

Loved this stuff. I take care of my dad who has dementia, this makes it easier to give him healthy foods. Made a vegetable and ground beef soup, he ate that for days. Gonna buy more after I use what I got.
