But it gained its popularity in the USA during the Gold Rush in mid 19th century. This bread is known for its dark-golden crunchy crust, soft chewy center, distinctive flavor, and mildly sour taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Freeze Dried Bread is current production and was manufactured in 2025 by a large military defense contractor. We just purchased a large lot of these direct from a Defense Reutilization Office (DRO) Source. Although actual use is always classified on these kinds of bids, our information is that these are purchased for Executive Branch use, not for our troops in the field. That usually means these go to underground bunkers for continuity of government use by strategic military leaders, congressional members and sometimes even white house staff or leadership. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can expect to get 25+ years out of them in the can - and probably as many as 30 to 40 since there is no water or oxygen in the can to spoil the bread!!! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreparation\u003c\/b\u003e: Either eat right out of the can or rehydrate and use like regular bread. To rehydrate the bread, just wet a slice in cold or lukewarm water, pat it dry with a towel, and let it sit for 30 minutes in a sealed container (zip lock bags work great). Then use as a side dish, make toast or use for sandwiches anywhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce opened they will last:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial; background-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eup to 1 year in a Zip Lock bag with refrigeration once opened but not re-hydrated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eup to 60 days in a zip lock bag without refrigeration once opened, but not re-hydrated. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eup to 5 days in the fridge once they are re-hydrated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThese are perfect for storing and using for many years!
