- Rice is the number two most consumed staple in the world. Its versatility and inherent long shelf life are a large part of why this is the case.
Rice can be used for human or animal consumption, so having a good stock of it is important for emergencies.

Just want to say THANK YOU. I finally broke open my 23 qt Presto and today I canned 14 pints of ground beef and nothing blew up! I did a test run with water. I had browned the meat last night (about 13 lbs) so I did everything cold/cool. All my lids have pinged. I may be hooked! Don’t think I would have tried it without your video and discussions on canning. Yay! Gonna dig out all my frozen meat and get it canned.
YOU DID IT!!!!! So happy for you!
Wait until you try ugly chicken, it is amazing. You will be truly hooked.
Watch Leisa ugly chicken video, she is the queen of ugly chicken . Not pretty, but sure taste good is a favorite in my house
@@karennelson649 it’s very ugly, but the taste is pure chicken. Convenience is king and raw pack is fast. No liquid necessary!
I will admit canning can become addictive. Just a warning ⚠️. Lol
When I start canning I will look around and see what else I can can. Such fulfillment pulling those bubbling jars out of the canner.
Tip: if you want smaller portions in the mylar bags; simply cut the gallon sized bags in half, seal one end, fill, seal the other end. This way you get 1/2 gallon of rice (or whatever you are storing) in a bag instead of opening a whole gallon bag.
I set up some rice for long-term storage last year, about 25lbs. I did the whole shebang. I put it in the freezer for 4 days, pulled them out, loaded mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, and THEN putting it in a bucket with a tight lid. PRO TIP: Use a flat iron (or hair) to seal your mylar bags. If you open one and don't need all the contents, you can cut off the top (that was sealed before), drop in some fresh absorbers, and reseal with the flat iron. So much easier than a clothes iron!
A great convenient way to store rice is by cooking it then double bagging it. I put some in zip lock sandwich bags, flatten them seal tightly. Then stack as many as possible in a freezer bag seal tightly and freeze. The rice lasts for years. Tastes like freshly cooked. That method minus flattening works for donuts and French toast too.
Parboiled rice Compared to white rice, parboiled rice has fewer calories, fewer carbohydrates, more fiber, and more protein. This makes it a healthier alternative to traditional white rice.
I am also diabetic, it has Reduced Diabetes Symptoms
Studies suggest that, in comparison to both white rice and brown rice, parboiled rice has a lower impact on blood sugar levels, making it a safer choice for people with diabetes than other rice's. This may be especially true if you refrigerate leftover parboiled rice and then eat the leftovers, as storing parboiled rice in cold temperatures may further reduce the impact it has on your blood sugar levels.
I have a test bucket of basmati rice I’ve kept in a plain ole Walmart bucket with lid for over 10 years. No oxygen absorbers, mylar, nothing. Recently made a batch and it was delicious 😋. I will never again waste money on mylar or oxygen absorbers for rice. It was stored in a climate controlled pantry about 70 degrees farenheit the whole time.
Did you freeze first? I have zero room in my side by side fridge/freezer. I don't have another freezer, don't want to be wasting money buying rice, with it ending up having critters
My rice is stored in five gallon food safe buckets I got from Home Depot. Buckets kept in a cool dark place. Been there for over ten years-rice is perfect. No mylar or oxygen absorbers!
@@rottentroublesmom use bay leaves in your container
you dont have to freeze it first
This is a great video. We are rice eaters and I do store it using mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. I find if you are a white rice eater the 1 gal mylar bags are great for storage and can fit 5 in a 5 gal bucket easily. 1 gal bag holds about 5 lbs of rice nicely. If you use a 5 gal mylar bag it will hold 35 lbs of white rice in a 5 gal bucket.
Great tips, thanks!
Thats what I did. :-) Its easier than worrying about opening and re sealing a entire 5gallon bag worth, each time.
I've been storing my rice with a small sprinkling of food grade DE in the bottom of my jars, because I don't want to have to put it in the freezer - learned this from Hodgepodge Homestead.
I keep a couple of quart jars just vacuum sealed in my working pantry.. and I have it stored in quart mylar bags with OAs and in a 5 gallon bucket in a 5 gallon mylar bag with 2000cc OAs for really long term. Great video as Always Leisa. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra... KEEP PREPPING PEOPLE 🥰🥰💯
I love the diversity!!
Store what you eat and eat what you store. Good advice.
I have been storing rice since 1999. I started by putting it in #10 cans from the LDS cannery with O2 absorbers. Then years later with mylar bags and O2 absorbers . Now I put in glass jars. I wouldn't be without it. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for sharing
I enjoy a variety of rices, most of what I store for long term is the standard white rice but I store other rices like basmatti and jasmine. I fill mylar bags no bigger then one gallon since I'm prepping mainly for me and the cat. I use oxygen absorbers in alk my bags and moisture absorbers in the buckets between the bags. I do have some brown but that is mostly my "user" rice
Nice analysis that recognizes the different types of rice need different storage. My brown rice lives in the freezer. Lol, I prefer sticky rice. Short-grain is my friend.
Pasta! #1 most consumed food in the world. Yay! We store duram wheat and make our own. Tastes so so so much better.
Something else I do, I add dry bay leaves to my stored rice. It's an extra layer of insurance.
Great info! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this.
Fantastic instructions,!
Thank you for the info!
Thank you!
I just did this same thing!😊. My family loves rice so I’ve stored quite a bit. Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers are amazing! 👍🏻
I have been vacuum sealing rice in 1 lb bags for years. Never had an issue. I have some vacuum sealed for over two years and it is still good. I only use Jasmine rice. To keep rice from being sticky just rinse it two or three times in cool water. Put in cool water and mix around, pour off cloudy water and repeat. Never a problem. I only cook rice in a rice cooker.
You can also use that cloudy water from the rice to rinse your hair.
Great info!
I make up 2 cup packs and then mylar bag them. For a family of 2 to 3, 2 cups is more than enough.
I also make up packs of 2 cups rice, 1 cup of red beans and all the dry ingredients for meatless red beans and rice. Great go to for camping, hiking or using in the semi like I do.
Great video Ms Leisa as always!
Thanks for sharing!!
I love rice and eat it often, Have several plain varieties and one mixed. Next goal is to get a substantial amount of the extra, extra long (like up to 2/3 inch). I love how it looks in stir fry. Thanks for a good topic, Leisa. (:
Good to know!
Parboiled rice has much more fiber and is much lower on the glycemic index.
You're awesome love your channel!
I don’t eat much white rice myself but I hadn’t thought about using white rice for pet food in an emergency. I hadn’t figured out how to have pet food worked into my long term preps, great idea and now I have a new project to research and store!
Wonderful!
LOL Just looked it up and Pasta is #1. Why am I not surprised.
You can use white rice to make rice flour which you can use for firing food and baking.
BLESSINGS 💖
Yeah I did what Rudy did in an airtight container (was put in freezer for 3 days) used gamma lid and put Bay leaves in each container.
Good advice, Leisa. You got me curious about what would be the #1 consumed food . I would have bet it was beans but I would've lost that bet. It's pasta!! Just thought you might be interested in that fact.
Rice is in my top ten. You can do so much with it - I store a simple short grain white rice LT ( there are so many tricks you can do with it in cooking and life) . The rest are fun and if I had to live without a certain variety thats fine; brown rice doesn't agree with 2 of the 6 and honestly, I don't like it. I do have specialty rices, I would never worry about long term storage with them.
I love , the way u explain. Thank u.
🙏❤️👍👏☘️🌟
You are so welcome
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
I keep both regular white rice and parboiled rice. Vacuum seal in jars. I haven't invested in mylar/o2 obsorbers because I still have cases and cases of gifted mayo/sketti sauce jars that I use for vac sealing. I don't like to vac seal in plastic for long term storage because I have found that after just so long (as short as 1 year) the food will take on the taste of the plastic.
Never thought about storing rice for my pets, yet I knew they can eat it. My mom used to make her own dog food with it...DUH! LOL
Love the shirt 😻
I dry canned 50 pounds in 2014, we use it and it’s all good
My mom maid that banquet dinner with minute rice. One of her best dinners
Interesting rice is number two, I looked around on the web found pasta being the number 1 around the world.
Be safe and God bless 🙏🏼🌹🙏🏼
Converted/Parboiled rice is also a good option for a food storage pantry.
Lee's and my son Daniel and I love rice. My mother is Filipino so I'm used to eating it three times per day. Daniel and I usually eat two cups per day and up to four cups when I make sinigang (Filipino sour soup and my most favorite food; Daniel loves it too but Lee doesn't like it or rice). We buy in the 20 lb bags and we got through it fairly fast. Maybe faster now since Daniel became a teenager last month.
I watched Our Little Homestead.
A Rebel Canning method.
Oven Canning Rice and Dry Beans.
I oven canned a few jar to see if they worked out. After a year I open a jar of Rice cooked some Spanish Rice it was great.
I love oven canning dry foods.
If I've said it once.....lol
Canning jars are not made for dry heat, you are degrading the jars. Totally unsafe
@@SuttonsDaze she's got a degree in canning I figured she knew what she was doing was ok.
@@araceliadams34 A degree in canning? I called Ball and their rep was emphatic that it is unsafe.
@@SuttonsDaze I'm not going to use the jars I Oven canned in to can anything under pressure. I used the large 1/2 gal. Jars. So I'll be able to keep them out of rotation.
As for her Degree she is some kind of Chef and had went to become some kinda professional canner. Ill go back and see what she called herself.
Yess!! We go through 25lbs a month...we store up 6 months worth at all times...not being able to find our med grain rice was a serious deal killer ...so now its 3vac sealed and 3 on rotation.
Great plan!
I have heard of absorbers, have no clue as to how to use them. Please share Liesa. Thank you
I am new to oxygen absorbers and mylar. I stored a pack of 200cc absorbers in 3 pint size jars. A jar with only a handful somehow ended up with condensation in the jar. I had placed the absorbers in the jar and used my vacuum sealer lid to suck out the air. I was not thinking and used the ones from the condensated jar in my 1 gallon mylar bags of rice. I just dropped them in on one side and a 300 cc on the other side of the bag at the top last night. This morning I woke on wondering if the moisture in or on the oxygen absorber will cause food rot. What is the best way to dry the rice back out? There shouldn't be a lot of moisture off the absorber pack but I am thinking maybe I should drop the top portion of my rice bags onto a cookie sheet and oven dry them but I am not sure what temperature and time to use for this small amount. Thank you for helping the world get prepared! You are awesome!
What would the storage time be if put in regular (clear) vacuum sealer bags with an oxygen absorber?
Wondering how long food saver bags in 5 gallon gamma sealed buckets last? Without freezer and 02 absorbers? Rice for pets is wonderful idea thank you.
As I’m type 2 diabetic eating relatively low carb, whole grain brown rice is better for blood glucose levels and I was interested to hear of its shorter shelf life even if stored correctly. I’m also looking to use ancient grain flours for making pastry & breads for the same reason. I only have a small freezer but I have a Foodsaver and would appreciate any advice on storing all these either as grains to home mill, or ready bought ground flour. Thank you guys.
I have 40lbs in the pantry $7.99 for 20lbs I am getting 3 more bags tomorrow
Awesome price!!
Yes, the grocery store in my area just had a sale for the same price. I'll pick some up when they go on sale again.
Laughed when you said your mouth was watering over the Banquet Turkey & Gravy - today I saw Banquet Chicken Pot Pies at the store & I swear drool was running down my chin LOL. They are so good and so bad all at the same time.
Right?? Hahaha.
Hi Leisa, are you going to add a Playlist for these longterm food storage videos? Thank you in advance.

You can store brown rice, vacuum sealed, in the freezer for years.
That is what I did for Red Cargo Rice. I vac sealed it and put it in the freezer. I did this with several bags, as I love rice of all types.
I put all dry goods in mason jars and vacuum seal.
Thanks for the video. Any suggestions around any difference between storing minute rice vs regular rice?
Both should hold well the same method
@@SuttonsDaze thanks!!!
Brown rice has a low glycemic index plus it's an iron source and other nutrients; it's tasty and filling. I wish I knew how to store it for 5 years.
Auguson Farms Buckets
Pasta is number 1
Rice can also be ground into flour. Great for gluten free baking.
With regard to brown rice, precook and dehydrate.
So I could vaccum seal rice with the sealing system bags and put into a food grade bucket with a regular seal and it will last 10 years? When you say white rice there is long grain rice, jasmine and basmanti rice, Is there a different on how long they last? I love how you always make sense.
All white rice is good for 30 years. Thanks!
Do I freeze rice .can I buy rice and put in other bag and little pack in bag .how many packages in a bag .how long can you get rice .
I want to store rice, beans and flour straight into a food grade bucket with bay leaves O2 absorbers. Is that enough? Or do I also HAVE to use mylar bags?
Depends on a couple of factors, the storage conditions, the lid must be air tight.
I think the only advantage with mylar bags is to keep light out- as long as you store stuff in a way that light can't get to it, then mylar bags won't matter- i.e. if you use vacuum bags that are clear- wrap them in brown paper bags and/or store the results in a container that keeps light from getting to the packages..
When do you put the Sorbers in the jars before you put them in the oven or before you put the lids on? Thank you.
dont put absorber in the oven
Don't ever put your jars in the oven.
I came across some white basmati rice. Do you know if that is sticky, yuck. Would it be classified as a oily rice and gets grouped with the browns life span. Will I get a longer life out of my rices( long grain) by Mylar and mason jars with oxygen absorbers or freezing it. Thank you
Its a good long term storage rice.
Removing oxygen and preventing critters from getting to it is what gives it a 30 year shelf life. For that I prefer mylar or mason with oxygen absorbers.
* Thank You for your videos! grma Bita ;-)
I bought 2 10 lb bags of white rice at the beginning of the pandemic, didn’t know what I was doing, wasn’t well prepared and put them in a non-airtight bucket. I think there’s some bug bloom going on in there. It hasn’t at all been bad, but I’m not going to open that bucket until after I’ve stored it outside for a few days, during the dead of winter.😂 Then, I’ll throw it all out.
Im curious of which white rice to invest in. Example jasmine or forgot the other brands
I like basmati over them all. Nutty and aromatic. Longer grain too
The one you like the best
Leisa can you grind rice for rice flour. Maybe add salt and baking powder to make it self rising??? I'd really like to KNOW. !!! THANKS
Yes you can!
Making Gluten-Free Self-Rising Flour. Combine the flours in a large mixing bowl. You'll need 1 ¼ cup (170 g) of brown rice flour, 1 ¼ cup (205 g) of white rice flour, 1 cup (120 g) of tapioca flour, and 1 cup (165 g) of sweet/glutinous rice flour. Mix them together using a whisk or fork until they are evenly combined.
Csn you tell me about wild rice for long term storage.

#Question is it the same or different with Basmati white non gmo rice?
Same
We have banquet turkey over rice or over mash potatoes
what about yellow rice, how to store short and long term?????
What about instant white rice?
It's white rice, same rules apply
@Suttons Daze i just bought 20 lb bag of rice for my family of 3, we eat rice a lot i can go through 10lb in a month and a half, can i just store the jasmine rice in gallon glass jars with bay leaves, or do i have to freeze it before storing it in the glass jars?
Store in jars, don't freeze
@@SuttonsDaze thank you so much for responding
I tried to vacuum seal my mylar bag with my food saver but it will not seal it, even if I put strips of the vaccum sealer bag at the corners of the mylar bag so the vacuum sealer can suck out the air.
I put a oxygen absorber in the bag with the rice and just sealed it up using the food saver bag. I don't know how well the food saver bag will hold up for long term storage.
Foodsaver bags are porous, mylar is best for long term
What's the rule of thumb for O2 absorbers per gallon ?
For 1-gallon bags, you should use 1-2 300cc oxygen absorbers. For 5-gallon bags you should use 5-7 300cc oxygen absorbers or 1 2000cc oxygen absorber.
@@SuttonsDaze thank you!
I oven can all my rice, beans and pasta.
I froze numerous bags of rice, flour and pastas in the freezer doing the 3 day freeze routine. I had taken the food out of their original plastic bags, placed the foods in vac bags first. Didn’t like the cheap plastic they were bought in.Someone mentioned that it would be a good idea to spread the food out on cookie sheets and give it a few days to warm up to remove all the moisture,before I put the food in mason jars or Mylar. It’s been 3 days now sitting on top of cookie sheets and I am worried I have ruined my food. Should I put the food back in vac bags, freeze for a few days again due to any eggs that may have hatched and then take it out of freezer. Let the food come to room temperature and then store properly in mason jars or Mylar bags. Or can I just bag it up now from the cookie sheets and place in jars with a oxygen absorber. (Which is what I think I should have done from the very beginning. Help. My gosh what a issue.
I hope you get a reply. I did the same thing with rice...wondering now if I should have vacuum packed first, then freeze it.
@@cozmickitty7730 that's what I have to do, due to no room in freezer.
I put my bags of rice in the freezer in the bag it came in for 3 days, then took them out of the freezer to dry out for 3 days. Afterwards I put them in my mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. I used my iron to sealed the mylar bags. My bags are 7mil.
Do not put the plastic bag the rice came in into your mylar bags.
I don't freeze anything. If you use oxygen absorbers nothing can live. If you don't use oxygen absorbers and freeze again, don't put in mylar bags first. You'll need to dry it out again if you freeze again.
WHAT ABOUT JASMINE RICE? I PUT SOME IN A VACUUM SEALED GLASS JAR, TODAY, BUT I PLAN TO EAT IT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. PLEASE ANSWER.
It's fine
Is Jasmine rice just plain white rice
Yes, you can store white Jasmine rice 🍚, not brown Jasmine rice.
How do you make it for cats or dogs
I see people cook it and mix it with cooked vegetables and some protein, like chicken. They make it in big batches for their two dogs, and it lasts about a week in the fridge. Hope that helps.
My little girly, the queen of the family eats only human food. We mix the rice in with either chicken, or beef and add veggies.
Thank You so much 😊
When I first started using oxygen absorbers 20 years ago I was told to keep them in an airtight jar, canning jar, in a cold place, fridge or freezer, and when I need one to open the jar quickly and quickly put the oxygen absorber into the jar of food and quickly put the lid on both of those jars so Air does not get to the absorbers. Does that still hold true today with today’s technology? I feel like I am always rushing to put that lid on the jars so they stay fresh and good.
Keep rushing....lol
Agree with your directions for both whit and brown rice, but do you have any suggestions for wild rice? Can it be stored like white rice or because it's more grass like, does it have a shorter shelf life?

Repackage in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for long term
@@SuttonsDaze I saw your video and appreciated! So I get that. I just dont see myself putting 250 pounds in 1 pound mylar bags lol. Since its air tight, perhaps I should just toss in some O2 absorbers

@@ms.anonymousinformer242 fair enough! 🤣
@@eternalvitality great idea
What size oxygen absorber(s) for what size bag. It gets a bit confusing on what size absorber for what size bag. Help, please and thank you!
How Many Oxygen Absorbers Should I use?
A general rule of thumb is to use 300-500cc of oxygen absorber per gallon of food you are storing.
A little chart on how that works out:
1 Quart Bag - 100cc oxygen absorber
1 Gallon Bag - 1-2 300cc oxygen absorbers
2 Gallon Bag - 2-500cc oxygen absorbers or 1-1000cc oxygen absorber
5 Gallon Bag - 1-2 2000cc oxygen absorbers or 2-3 1000cc oxygen absorbers

Can you vacuum seal in the bags that come with food saver for long term?
I would put the bag of rice inside the food saver bag and cut a hole in the rice bag. I have vacuum sealed sharp things like rice and wheat for example, and they have punctured the bags.
@@annettegruber8631 great! Thank you. I will be busy tomorrow. Lol
Maybe bread is number 1? Most countries have their own version.

Can you use the oxygen absorbers in the jars if you vacuum that way or is it a waste of the absorbers?
it's better to use the absorber in the jar as you vacuum seal it I believe
Can ParBoiiled rice be stored long term?
If its white rice
Yes.

Dogs will eat rice. On the subject of felines, I'm in the "cats are obligate carnivores' corner.
