Augason Farms Dehydrated Cross Cut Celery Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 36 Servings

The wife and I like to keep dried foods on hand. She doesn't always have the time to dehydrate as much as she used to, so we buy them when needed. For us it's a good value. And it doesn't spoil. She likes to make her own dried stuffing mix instead of buying small boxes. Uses the dried celery and onions to make it with. Once it's cooked the taste and smell is awesome.This is good in soup. There are those times when we don't want to leave the house to get a few odd ingredients and this functions well. Stores well.

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.

Just as shown. Note these are dried not freeze dried. I put some through my grain mill and it worked nicely to make the bits smaller for my specific recipes. Flavor when in soups etc seems to be just as good as fresh.

This is so easy to use for soups and stews, it has good flavor and stores very well for a long time. Though I haven't calculated the cost in detail, I suspect it's a good bit less expensive (and a whole lot easier) than buying stalks of celery, chopping and storing it. This container holds a ton of celery, just dehydrated so it's very light.

this is my go to for the best dehydrated foods. have purchased many times.

fresh and convenient ! The can seals great to keep the freshness in for eggs soups etc.

these are a real bargain

This is a product that I have purchased before and will purchase again in the future. I like to use celery in a lot of cooking but it's hard to use the whole stalk of fresh while it is still in good shape.I've switched to this product for a lot of my uses. I use it when I am making a quick soup. I add it to chicken salad or tuna when I want the flavor but not the crunch of fresh.The pieces are definitely on the small side but the flavor is still there. If you want large pieces of celery you will probably have ot use fresh.I like the convenience of having it in the pantry for use at any time. It's not like fresh but it has its uses and for those, it is a great alternative for me.
