To those buying rice in large amounts

Price is great. However, buying in large amounts leads to bugs. So, refrain from buying 20 to 50 pound bags. You will be washing your rice out forever to get them out.

rice and beans create a complete protein!

Its the cornerstone of a Vegan diet for good reason and as such
the two are important additions to any food storage

PLUS its delish!

I bought 60 lbs of Rice today

Don't forget the 60 lb bags of beans!

I put coconut oil in

Stock them for years like so:
Get a soda bottle, wash and dry it well
Every 2 inches of rice inside, add a garlic clove and a laurel leaf.
When the bottle is almost full, take piece of cotton with alcohol in it, light it up and throw it in the bottle, closing it while it is still burning.

The fire will consume all oxygen inside, preventing the rice to spoil even further.

Seal the cap with wax and store it away from light or cover it with aluminum foil.

We buy huge bags of long brown rice and bags of Quinwa.
To keep them fresh a long time you need to vacuum seal them up.

Once long ago I tried storing white rice for a long time not vacuum sealed but in mason jars with new seals. We found out after 6 months the rice began to get a dry dog food scent to it.
It had gone bad I guess.
Had to toss a lot out.

Buy big bags of it then store in mylar bag add a oxygen absorber. I put 2 in. Then iron the bag but leave a few inches. Vaccuum the remaining air out then iron the rest shut put in a bucket with lid. And label the lid with the date and contents. I actually went threw all preps. I was curious . I re bagged everything. Rice was fine and everything was 4 or 5 years old. I only threw some buckets of beans away. I'll admit I might have been lazy storing them 5 years ago. and didnt get enough air out as I could have. I found a air pump for a blow up mattress. It will blow and also suck air out. So i used that to suck as much air out as possible. I did way better job this time around. The beans i did throw away looked fine just had a slightly off smell when I opened the mylar bags. If I was hungry I'd have no problem eating them. Nothing looked spoiled . Slight discoloration on the beans on top . But digging around the beans looked new. Afew beans I inspected looked alittle hard. I think they were ok just maybe it would take along time to cook to be soft. I'd rather throw it away now and be safe. I'll buy more and store it better.

It's funny how the few preps I have all of them expire Dec. 2021 including rice.

what do i do im not a chink and i hate rice so flavour less makes me want to die if i had to eat it for more than 2 days i would rather be dead

buy rice from china

its the best

isnt china rice plastic

No, its coronarice

If you put rice in the freezer for a few days it kills any insect eggs. ALL rice has those, but freezing will make it so they never hatch.

And hey, extra protein!

the insect eggs are the only flavor the rice has and you want to take it out

yeah


it lasts forever

it's made from chinese infants

what are some other useless foods i could store up
something as flavorless as rice but not rice

im just gonna buy a 10 pound bag of sugar and eat it by the handful

at least its a white food that tastes good

rice needs 20 min cook time minimum to be remotely edible
thats a lot of cooking for very shitty food

maybe oatmeal would be better like a 2min cook time or no cook time i think you could eat it with cold water if you had to

Asian family. Tablespoon of coconut oil. But we have a rice steamer. Just no other way. Oh and coconut oil will help keep the rice longer if no refrigeration.

Good luck

I bought 80 lbs of Beans, I have provisions for Chili (non-Texas style) ... lol

20 - 20 oz cans of Rotel .... lol

Oh and only buy jasmine rice at Walmart. From Thailand. Organic.

Your welcome

20 min, but on very low heat once it gets boiling.

Nice

oh thanks for wallmart has a tastless shitty food section

is jasmine rice the shit cant get enough of that mhhhh mmmhhh good

Very. Awesome tip
You can also get "oxygen busters" (i think they are just powdered iron that rusts and consumes oxygen) packets you can throw in.

But I like this tip a lot. It's low tech on the surface but deceptively sophisticated

What about the arsenic? Rice takes a lot of rinsing.
