Vacuum packing is a method of storing and preserving food. The vacuum environment removes atmospheric oxygen and any free moisture making it very difficult for bacteria or fungi to grow thus preventing the food from spoiling. Vacuum packing is commonly used for storing dry foods such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, cheese and smoked fish. However, it is also used for storing fresh foods such as fresh-picked vegetables, fresh meats and liquids such as soup broth and water. Goodman's carries a wide selection of vacuum sealers, bags, and accessories by brands such as Tilia Foodsaver, Oliso, and more!
