Lava vacuum packing and stockpiling

Vacuum packing and sensible storage

A supermarket in your neighbourhood, a restaurant in the city centre surrounded by small cafés with selected daily specials. Food seems to be available to us around the clock in Europe. Nevertheless, there are many good reasons to stock up on food and drink at home. In the event of a serious disaster such as a pandemic, a widespread power failure or natural disasters such as flooding, access to food may be severely restricted or completely impossible. This is why it is quite helpful to create a food store for emergencies with the help of vacuum sealing.

Why should you vacuum seal your supplies?

Due to the oxygen extraction during vacuuming, food stays fresh significantly longer and also retains its vitamins for longer. This means that fruit, vegetables, cheese, cold cuts, fish or meat, for example, can be preserved in a purely natural way. You can also read more information about the shelf life of vacuum-packed food in our shelf life table. Another advantage of vacuum sealed food is that it eliminates freezer burn. This means that supplies can be stored in the freezer for a long time without any problems.

We also offer you another generous advantage! Buy now and save over €60 when you buy a Lava Care Bundle.

Tips for successful storage

Well planned storage offers you a lot of advantages. With enough food at home, you can always put together a healthy meal quickly without having to go shopping. Or even better: If you store pre-prepared meals, they are always readily available when you’re in a rush. This saves you a lot of time, because you don't have to keep going to the supermarket for individual ingredients. If you take advantage of special offers on products to bulk-buy, you can also save money. Butter, for example, can easily be frozen in its packaging and can therefore be bought in bulk at a reduced price.

Build up stocks
little by little

For example, if you take home a little more than the usual amount each time you go shopping, you can progressively build up your own stocks. This means you only spend a little extra at a time.

healthy meals

The next time you prepare your favourite dish, why not cook double the amount? You can freeze the surplus in our preserving jars with the help of our vacuum sealer attachment for jars, and if you are short on time, simply defrost the food and re-heat it.

Checklist for your food storage

As a basic principle, it is recommended to store enough food to survive for 10 days without shopping. When stocking up, you should make sure that you only store the foods that you really like and that agree with you. Our checklist makes it easy to stockpile food for times of crisis. The information always refers to a 10-day supply for one person.

Drinks

An adult needs about 1.5 litres of fluid per day. To prepare foods such as pasta, potatoes or rice, an additional 0.5 litres of water per person is recommended.

The following rule of thumb applies: 2 litres per day and person for at least 10 days

Staple foods

Bread, oats, pasta, rice and potatoes should be in sufficient supply.

Here 3.5 kilos are recommended

Vegetables and pulses

You can easily store carrots, onions, garlic and various pulses such as peas, beans or lentils.

You should have 4 kilos per person for 10 days

Fruit and nuts

You can buy canned or jarred fruit, or preserve them yourself with the Lava Care Bundle. Nuts provide healthy fatty acids, serve as a source of plant-based protein and also have a long shelf life.
