Vacuum sealing - Keeping food fresh

 I've had a vacuum canning sealer for a few years now and I love it! I bought it because I was tired of freezing meat in the freezer and freezing vegetables sealed in bags, but I haven't used all the features. If you are like me, you are sick of cold, cold food. Then using a mason jar vacuum sealer together can solve quite a few problems.

The vacuum lid is attached to the sealed jar making sure the metal jar lid is centered.
I don't think too much about vacuum sealing purchased jars of dried or home dehydrated fruits, vegetables, jerky or even mushrooms because they usually stay crisp in my pantry, partly due to the dry heat of the stove in the winter. However, I recently cooked some stored dried beans that took a long time to cook to a soft, edible stage.

So now I'm wondering if vacuum sealing will keep moisture out and will it also hold the least amount of moisture (like beans)? It's definitely worth a try, since I already store most of these items in jars. Using vacuum sealer for jars, you can quickly put the food that needs to be stored into these jars.

I'm also working on vacuum-sealed items that become rancid from exposure to oxygen, such as flour and cornmeal, which I usually keep in the refrigerator. (One of my goals is to reduce my reliance on the refrigerator.) Vacuum sealed sugars and salts also don't turn into hard bricks, and herbs and spices have a longer shelf life. The mason jar vacuum sealer is more convenient than I thought, something I didn't expect when I first started using it.

Another benefit of vacuum sealing dry goods in jars is that the lids can be used over and over again, unlike the lids on home canned foods. For example, if you open a jar of thyme, you can remove what you need and then immediately reseal the jar. With a vacuum canning jar sealer, you can re-provide a vacuum storage environment for these foods.
