Can you store salt in recyclable mylar bags

Mylar bags are made from several layers of laminated food-grade plastic and aluminum. Food will not react with aluminum because it is separated by a food-grade plastic lining. Mylar bags provide good light, moisture, and oxygen barrier to protect the food inside the bag. Make sure the pouches you purchase are high quality and designed to store food products. So recyclable mylar bags can store salt well.

Following are the reasons:

1.Mylar bags effectively protect against light, moisture, and insects. They create a good oxygen barrier which allows the oxygen to be removed and extends the shelf life of the food products.

2.Bags can be created in a variety of sizes. Some are small enough to seal a package of garden seeds for storage, others are large enough to line a 5-gallon bucket.

3.The Mylar bags are can be washed out and reused after cutting off the original seal.

4.Salt can be easily packaged and sealed at home with a clothes iron or even a hair straightener.

Our goal is to have a supply of basic, life-sustaining foods tucked away for a rainy day. We store basic staples such as wheat, rice, oats, pasta, beans, sugar, salt, and potato flakes. When correctly packaged and stored, these items have a shelf life of 25-30 years. Mylar bags can be an effective way to package foods for long term storage.
