Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I've been thinking about drying and then vacuum sealing.  That would do the trick, wouldn't it?

And there is also the fact that a lot of nutrients are lost during
canning, especially if you are using a pressure canner at high
temperatures. Canning has its place, but I do more drying than
anything else. In spite of the warnings that dried foods have to be
refrigerated, I've never had a problem with anything that was kept
sealed away from humidity.
