Root Cellar Construction Handbook


This book is for you if;
  • You want to preserve your home-grown fresh produce to last all year.
  • You want to sustain the security of your food in a grid-down situation.
  • You want to live off the grid and need to freshly preserve your foods.
  • You want a non-modern method of preserving foods should a natural disaster occur.

Suppose you own a sizable garden or orchard or purchase additional farm fresh produce in season to consume throughout the year. In that case, you are aware of how time- and space-consuming it can be to store all those tasty vegetables and fruits. Although some foods, like broccoli and cherries, must be preserved by canning, freezing, or dehydrating, several vegetables and fruits can be preserved naturally by storing them in a cool, dark environment clear of rodents and other predators. To achieve this, the best solution is to have a root cellar considering the majority of us do not own an industrial-sized walk-in refrigerator to store things in (and don't wish to pay the electricity bill on one either).
The root cellar was an essential element of the home in the era before supermarkets because it allowed the family to feed until the coming year's produce. Once again, root cellars are becoming important for the contemporary gardener and anybody striving for self-sufficiency as an energy-free, inexpensive alternative for storing produce to savor the tastes of the garden in the dead of winter and to preserve rootstock and bulbs for the next growing season.
Of course, building a root cellar requires you to have sufficient knowledge on the subject to avoid making mistakes even before you begin, and that's why this book, Root Cellar Construction Handbook, was written; to serve as your compass and map to setting up a thriving root cellar.
Below are some of the learning points covered in this book;
  • The pros and cons of having a root cellar.
  • The types of root cellar options available.
  • Tips for running a successful root cellar
  • Foods you can store in a root cellar, how to prepare and store them, and their storage conditions.
  • Root cellar construction requirements vis-à-vis the temperature, humidity, darkness, ventilation, size, etc.
  • Constructing an underground root cellar.
  • Constructing root cellar alternatives, e.g., sunken fridge or freezer and bucket root cellar.
  • Root cellar construction mistakes to avoid

...and so much more!

Case Studies in Novel Food Processing Technologies: Innovations in Processing, Packaging, and Predic
Novel food processing technologies have significant potential to improve product quality and process efficiency. Commercialisation of new products and processes brings exciting opportunities and interesting challenges. Case studies in novel food processing technologies provides insightful, first-hand experiences of many pioneering experts involved in the development and commercialisation of foods produced by novel processing technologies. <p/>Part one presents case studies of commercial products preserved with the leading nonthermal technologies of high pressure processing and pulsed electric field processing. Part two broadens the case histories to include alternative novel techniques, such as dense phase carbon dioxide, ozone, ultrasonics, cool plasma, and infrared technologies, which are applied in food preservation sectors ranging from fresh produce, to juices, to disinfestation. Part three covers novel food preservation techniques using natural antimicrobials, novel food packaging technologies, and oxygen depleted storage techniques. Part four contains case studies of innovations in retort technology, microwave heating, and predictive modelling that compare thermal versus non-thermal processes, and evaluate an accelerated 3-year challenge test. <p/>With its team of distinguished editors and international contributors, Case studies in novel food processing technologies is an essential reference for professionals in industry, academia, and government involved in all aspects of research, development and commercialisation of novel food processing technologies.
