What are the differences between using mylar bags vs vacuum sealing for food storage?
Mylar bags are made of a durable material that provides a barrier against light, moisture, and oxygen, while vacuum sealing removes air from the packaging to prevent spoilage. Mylar bags are reusable and offer long-term storage, while vacuum sealing is more suitable for short-term storage. Both methods can extend the shelf life of food, but mylar bags are better for bulk storage and vacuum sealing is ideal for preserving individual portions.
