Vacuum storage is a method that preserves the freshness of food by removing oxygen from the packaging. Oxygen is one of the main causes of food spoilage, as it contributes to bacterial growth and oxidation. With vacuum bags and glass food boxes from Foodecobox, you can extend the shelf life of your food and reduce food waste.
What is vacuum storage?
Vacuum storage means creating an oxygen-free environment by sucking out the air from the packaging. This prevents bacteria and mold from growing, keeping food fresher for longer. Vacuum storage can be used for both fresh and cooked food, and is a sustainable method of storing food.
How does vacuum storage work?
Vacuum storage works by using a vacuum pump to remove the air from a sealed container, such as a lunch box or bag. When the oxygen is gone, the risk of oxidation is reduced, helping to preserve the taste, color and nutritional value of the food for longer.
Advantages of vacuum storage
Storing food in a vacuum has several advantages. Here are some of the most important:
- Extended shelf life: Food stays fresh longer without the risk of bacterial growth.
- Reduced food waste: By extending shelf life, you reduce the amount of food that has to be thrown away.
- Preserves flavor and nutrition: Vacuum storage prevents oxidation, which helps retain flavor and nutrients.
