How long do dehydrated vegetables last?

Answer 1

Dehydrated vegetables typically last 6 to 12 months when stored properly in airtight packaging and kept in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Some dehydrated vegetables can last even longer if vacuum-sealed or packed with moisture absorbers. Proper storage helps retain their flavor, texture, and nutritional quality throughout their shelf life.

Answer 2

Dehydrated vegetables do not rot as fast as fresh vegetables. In fact, if you do not take a dehydrated vegetable out from its original container, it can even last up to several years! However, once the dehydrated vegetable is removed from its original storage bin and exposed to air, it will then be prone to mold and mildew.

This is why you must always keep your dehydrated vegetables in air-tight containers, such as Ziploc bags. This will ensure that the moisture in them will not increase quite as rapidly.
Dehydrated vegetables contain very little moisture, usually less than 5%. This amount of moisture is not enough for mold and mildew so they are not attracted to these vegetables. But because dehydrated vegetables have very little moisture in them, it could take a bit longer to prepare them for cooking, as you would have to rehydrate them first to some extent before you can use them.
