Are Oxygen Absorbers Necessary? 15-Year-Old White Rice Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2023
- Oxygen absorbers are a great tool to extend the shelf life of dry goods. But what happens if you don't use them? In this video, we have a rare opportunity to compare identical white rice that was packaged at the same time in 2007. Both were stored in a #10 can. One with an oxygen absorber and one without. The results surprised us.

You two have the best content of any prepping channel. You cover a wide range of topics and answer the tough questions that's it's hard to find info for. Thanks for all you do.
I'm lds and remember when we could do the packaging ourselves. We'd rent a canner and our ward would use it while we had it. We still have cans of different food in boxes of 6 cans. They're in great shape. Recently, we opened a can of apple slices and they were just as good as the day we pkgd them
Those were the days! Fun for the kids too.
@Margie yes, I agree ❤️
I miss it. It was a fun activity that our nonmember friends could join in without feeling pressure. My Dad's heart was touched by these types of activities and eventually joined the church.
Do they no longer allow you to package them?
@@DesertDweller74 It's not them that stopped it. The FDA came in and put the cabosh on that. Otherwise, it would still be allowed.
I love these type of videos where you can see how the preps perform down the line. I count on your channel for videos like this. The one with a similar comparison with the beans helped me a lot. You should turn this into a series if you can. Thanks for your hard work 💜
I just love that you guys have the taste test. I remember the one that you made bread. It makes me have a peace of mind. Knowing the money I have been spending to building a pepper pantry will be so worth it. Little by little will make a difference.
This really makes me want to open some of my storage supply to check. You all are so much fun, thanks for another great video!
Interesting. Thank you for this video Jonathan and Kylene. I have found my meat stored in cans on the basement cement floor had rusted through ever so slightly. I noticed this by an odor. All cans above were great, saved and freeze dried after easily scooping the separated fat off the top of the canned meat. I now do not put any cans on the concrete floor, even in cardboard boxes as these were, I originally thought that the cardboard would protect them. All of the lower cans with exterior rust I disposed of. This was a costly and smelly learning experience. Happy trails!
What I love about this channel is the hands-on, practical experiments and education. Not a lot of theoretical rhetoric. You guys rock for most useful information! Thanks for this.
You have the best channel. Whenever I have questions about food storage. I search your channel. I appreciate it.
Awesome! Thank you! You are so kind :)
I'm a belt with suspenders person, I put OA's with all my dry ingredients (not salt or sugar) whether vacuum sealed in jars or Mylar bags. The few extra cents is worth it to me.
Do you use oxygen absorbers for powdered items also? Some say yes and some say no.
@@Jake-Drake Other then salt and sugars I use OA's in all my dry ingredients. If you're asking about something like flour, yes I use one. I freeze grain products (4-5 days) to kill any critters, defrost for a few days, then package for long-term storage with OA's to kill off any eggs that might be left behind.
@@mburton2402 Thanks.
I'm pretty certain I've done some 5 gallon buckets of rice and beans without OZ packs but I haven't worried too much as I have already used some 10 to 15 years old that looked and seemed just fine. Might just be I'm not at all particular about taste. ❤️👍🇺🇲
before i watch this video i like to thank you for that Flour comparison old vs new. It quite an eye opener that one of the old cans of flour had mold.
I found a different kind of bug in my rice. It wasn't the larger weevil but a tiny little almost clear colored bug. It was about the size of a little sugar ant. They were hard to see and I found them at the bottom of the container. It affected the appearance and smell of the rice so I threw it out. Definitely use the absorbers from now on. I think you're aging beautifully btw.
What a great experiment! People need to keep in mind that there were evidently no bug eggs in there, but they may not be so lucky with their rice. (Since you can't tell if there are eggs or not.) That was great!! Thank you for doing that for us.
If nothing else, the oxygen absorber would have protected from hatching eggs. I think you are right that it was very good luck.
Better safe than sorry. An oxygen absorber isn't particularly expensive, and might make a LOT of difference after 30 years too. My long terms storage doesn't actually get rotated and might well be still around after the 30 year date.
Thanks for doing this! I like the vids showing 20 year old canned food... perfect.
You two are a hoot! This was VERY good to know!
Thanks for this video. My family has been trying to put storage together for many years...We occasionally have these questions amongst members of the family. I personally am pretty easy to please when texture & basic taste is a question but some members of the family are a bit more finicky 😂 Thanks! Plus we live in a very dry environment....😎
We live in the Arizona desert. I've got tons of food storage in a storage locker. They vary in age, as I bought them from 2008 to 2017. Can't wait to open them to see how our extreme temperatures have affected them.
You guys crack me up… I love your interactions with each other it’s sweet to watch!
I loved the blind taste test. However I wish you would have also cooked fresh rice and included it in a 3 way blind taste test. I wonder if the oxygen absorber changes the taste or texture of the food. I have heard people claim that oxygen absorbers impart a flavor, or even chemicals
Kylene needed to do blind taste test too. I’m curious what she thought about the taste/texture
Glad to hear the o2 was worth it. Thanks for the update
I’ve been searching UA-cam for the answer to my question and I want to say thanks for your input. I don’t want to freeze 5gallons of rice just to kill bugs that may not be there. I’m perfectly happy with buying some O2 absorbers and snapping the lid shut 👍😁👍
I also first freeze, rice, beans, and flour for 48 hours. Bring back to room temperature before storing. It kills anything in it, and I don't have to worry so much about bugs.
I think it’s mental regarding the taste tests. Both look just fine
You guys are so cute! Love this video, thanks for sharing!
It looks like to me y'all going to be in the rice for a couple of days. Good video thank you have a great weekend and may God bless.
At my cabin in Northern MN I just put 25 pound bags of wheat in metal garbage cans, no oxygen absorber. But the cabin is cold storage, frozen for six months. I also have a years supply of LDS food in cans with oxygen absorbers. Also have 50 pound bags of rice and beans from Sam's club in mylar with no oxygen absorbers. I would just powder the beans, rice, and wheat and cook as cream of wheat or Fameal if an emergency. Better to have it and not need it. Protect yourself.
I read on another site that you should not use garbage cans for food storage (I had the same idea). Evidently, there's a toxic metal that can leach into food. But I've wondered if it would be safe if they were first packed in mylar and the can was just extra protection. Would be interested if anyone knows.
@@jamiemueller1881 I leave them in their paper bags so they don't touch the metal.
Lol, this was great and you two are very cute ( and very knowledgeable) together. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Super helpful.
The discoloration is due to oxidation. this would effect the texture as well.
Thanks for a great video so glad l found your channel.
God bless 🙏 you and yours
I'm wondering if coating the cans when they are new would not be a good way to go, that is, a non-toxic paint, or even a clear finish shellac, etc, even a light coat of mineral oil to prevent rust. This is something I've already planned for living on my sailboat, especially in the humid-saltwater environment that exists. Just a thought.
Oddly, it looked like the colors of the metal inside the two cans were different. One was silver colored and the other seemed yellowish. It's great both batches of rice were still good to eat :-)
My cardiologist told me not to eat anything that includes things I can't pronounce. Otherwise I can have anything I want in moderation. Watch the salt. I had coronary bypass surgery in 2006 at 58yo. Since i changed my diet my blood pressure and, cholesterol have been normal. So much more energy energy. And believe me I eat anything I want.
You guys are a blessing
biggest difference seemed to be in the inside of the can itself, the one with the Oxygen absorber looked pristine and bright and shiny while the one without looked yellowed and dingy. That alone makes me want to make certain that oxygen absorbers are in the package. There could also be things you can't see nor taste like nutritional value that is different.
If you tasted one without having another to compare to.....they would both taste fine and no difference.
Loved the rice comparison.
Great video! Thank you! You two are so cute together!
OK, how did you use the cans? I guess I need to research that!
This was really cute.
Wondering if the insides of the cans you used are different? They have different colors. Also, just wondering if you store rice in a well-sealed container that you may not need an oxygen absorber because the rice kind of acts like one, is that possible?
I recently organized the stuff in garage. We found 2 Lg cans of hominy that were rusted on the outside only! Not sure why?
What an awesome experiment? Nice to know
Oxygen absorbers remove oxygen to prevent oxidation. Once oxygen combines with something to oxidize it, it is no longer available to combine with anything else to oxidize it.
You put the rice in an air tight container.
With an absorber the oxygen is quickly removed. Without it, some oxidation will take place but then stop as no more oxygen is introduced into the can.
Time wouldn't matter much at all, especially over longer time frames.
Most things don't need oxygen absorbers, the absorbers simply preserve some of the freshness that would be lost from the initial oxygen in the can.
How do you create a lid when you store beans or rice in cans
Can I store rice in clean Jiffy Peanut butter containers and empty Welch's grape jelley jars? I have a source for many of them every week. Also, any other suggestions for using them
Interesting. thanks for sharing!
If your used to eating OA Food ,then you'll like it better. But I think mylar bags an OA are over rated IF your rotating your food. For LONG TERM over 5 years yes OA maybe the way to go. Mylar bags are a waste if using OA. My thoughts. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
First I just want to say I think what you do is awesome and this makes me feel better about my rice..... But, I have 2 questions, How did you guys seal up those cans? and.... How come the cans you opened are different colored on the inside, one is like a gold looking color and the other one is silver on the inside?
Did you noticed any diferece in time of cooking? In my experience eating 2 yo beans they take longer to cook. Am I doing something wrong?
How did you close or what kind of top on the cans?
Do you still have the video showing the preparation of the rice back in 2007 ?
Are you talking about this one? ua-cam.com/video/YrDJapCPabg/v-deo.htmlsi=y0NBD3GQYwTymqpx
You said you were glad that the rice was bug-free to begin with since the oxygen absorber was missing in one of them. That tells me that the oxygen absorber may always be a better bet, just in case there are bugs.
But, maybe one or two more years the difference might be a much more noticeable change. Soooo... maybe you are blessed. We once found a can of pinto beans that didn't get the oxygen probe.... they looked like kidney beans. Lol. But all the other cans were fine. We also in addition to the customary prayer, we had our little Shed of food storage "Blessed". Sooo a lot of stuff that was waaay over 25 yrs (I still have some of the wheat and a few other grains), are still usable in an emergency and will fill tummies but probably not as nummy. If I get chickens... they may be getting the older stuff or it will end up in the compost.
Fun comparison! Maybe you just ran out of O2 absorbers that day?
I've heard other preppers say Rice is its own oxygen absorber and you really don't need to put one in your rice storage. I'm not sure how true that is but this video seem to prove that out?
@@TheProvidentPrepper thank you. I do use an Oxygen Absorber in rice and suck the rest of the air with a vacuum cleaner.
What if we leave the rice in the rice bags itself after buying from the store? How long will it last?
@@TheProvidentPrepper Sure, thanks
Enjoy your videos and appreciate the nonpolitical, nonreligious presentation.
Why would you ever.waste an oxygen absorber in rice?
To prevent insect infestation in the rice.
@TheProvidentPrepper that's not why ppl use it. If you want oxygen gone 5 little packs wo t do it. You need to first put dry ice in the bucket so the CO2 forces the oxygen up and out.
Should not do a visual exam after cooking before tasting. Keep the taste test as just a taste test. Otherwise very useful video and "experiment". Thanks.
Oooh
"Am I aging well? Oh yes.... Good, fast response. #BePrepared
at the end of the day you will survive with or without absorbers .
I'm waiting for the day when you taste test some stored food and do a classic comedy 'spit take' of it.
Next time, please don't turn up the gain on the mic so we can hear every lip-smack of the taste-testing.
I like lip smacking
Maybe you should not be watching a food taste-testing video if lip smacking bothers you so much?
@@customer5032 Yeah, how silly of me to expect basic table manners.
Go look at the title of the video, then have a long, hard think about why you feel the need to be such a terrible person.
