Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Root Cellar Construction Handbook This book is for you if; 1. You want to preserve your home-grown fresh produce to last all year. 2. You want to sustain the security of your food in a grid-down situation. 3. You want to live off the grid and need to freshly preserve your foods. 4. You want a non-modern method of preserving foods should a natural disaster occur. Suppose you own a sizable garden or orchard or purchase additional farm fresh produce in season to consume throughout the year. In that case, you are aware of how time- and space-consuming it can be to store all those tasty vegetables and fruits. Although some foods, like broccoli and cherries, must be preserved by canning, freezing, or dehydrating, several vegetables and fruits can be preserved naturally by storing them in a cool, dark environment clear of rodents and other predators. To achieve this, the best solution is to have a root cellar considering the majority of us do not own an industrial-sized walk-in refrigerator to store things in (and don't wish to pay the electricity bill on one either). The root cellar was an essential element of the home in the era before supermarkets because it allowed the family to feed until the coming year's produce. Once again, root cellars are becoming important for the contemporary gardener and anybody striving for self-sufficiency as an energy-free, inexpensive alternative for storing produce to savor the tastes of the garden in the dead of winter and to preserve rootstock and bulbs for the next growing season. Of course, building a root cellar requires you to have sufficient knowledge on the subject to avoid making mistakes even before you begin, and that's why this book, Root Cellar Construction Handbook, was written; to serve as your compass and map to setting up a thriving root cellar. Below are some of the learning points covered in this book; 1. The pros and cons of having a root cellar. 2. The types of root cellar options available. 3. Tips for running a successful root cellar 4. Foods you can store in a root cellar, how to prepare and store them, and their storage conditions. 5. Root cellar construction requirements vis-à-vis the temperature, humidity, darkness, ventilation, size, etc. 6· Constructing an underground root cellar. 7· Constructing root cellar alternatives, e.g., sunken fridge or freezer and bucket root cellar. 8· Root cellar construction mistakes to avoid …and so much more!

Book excerpt: Definition of root cellaring The practice of root cellaring has been around for centuries and is an effective way of keeping fresh produce for lengthy periods of time without the use of more contemporary preservation techniques such as refrigeration or freezing. In its most basic form, it is a method for producing an environment that is cold, dark, and humid in order to simulate the conditions of the earth. This, in turn, enables fruits and vegetables to maintain their freshness and nutritional value for an extended period of time. The practice of root cellaring, which has been around for centuries and practiced by farmers, homesteaders, and preppers alike, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years as an increasing number of individuals strive to live in a more self-sufficient and environmentally conscious manner. The purpose of this section is to examine the history of root cellaring, as well as the operation of root cellars and the advantages of root cellaring for those who are interested in prepping and sustainable living. The practice of digging pits in the earth in order to preserve food dates back to ancient times, which is where the history of root cellaring can be traced. As time went on, these caves eventually evolved into more complex underground buildings that are today known as root cellars. These buildings, which were often situated in close proximity to homes or farms, were employed for the purpose of storing a broad variety of fruits and vegetables, in addition to other types of food items such as grains, meat, and dairy goods.

Download or read book ROOT CELLARING FOR PREPPERS written by Yugen Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of root cellaring is an ancient method that dates back centuries and has been used to store fresh food without the use of refrigeration. It entails preserving root vegetables, fruits, and other produce in a setting that is cool, dark, and humid, like a root cellar or an underground pit. The shelf life of vegetables can be extended through root cellaring from a few days or weeks to several months, which enables individuals to have access to food that is both fresh and healthful throughout the entire year. The concept of root cellaring originates from the observation that many types of fruits and vegetables continue to "breathe" after they have been harvested, meaning that they continue to use oxygen while simultaneously releasing carbon dioxide and water vapor. It is possible for the produce to go bad or decay if the environment in which it is stored is not correctly controlled, which would result in wasted food and a loss of resources. The purpose of root cellaring is to slow down the process of respiration that produce goes through and to establish the ideal storage conditions in order to maintain the food's freshness and flavor as long as possible. The habit of storing roots in cellars extends back to ancient times, when individuals were forced to rely on their own abilities and resources to ensure that their families had enough food to eat. For instance, in ancient Egypt, underground pits were utilized for the storage of onions, garlic, and various other types of root crops. In Europe during the middle ages, root cellars were common and were used to store root vegetables and other products to be consumed during the colder months of the year. Early immigrants and pioneers in North America made extensive use of root cellars in order to store their harvests for a longer period of time and assure a steady supply of fresh produce.
