    Your pantry is pretty much like mine but I’m an organic person, but your bins is a real good item,for sure. How much does the bins hold? I use spelt flour and oat flour a lot. Just wish we had more space. I don’t use much sugar at all, unless its stevia.
    I try to use fresh vegetables as much as possible, because this is where you get a lot of your vitamins.
    I do love cooking garbanzo beans because they taste so much better than can. Then, the liquid I use in soups, which is the bomb! I usually get white beans,pinto,and black beans.
    I make a homemade tomato sauce, that I found long ago and use that for a lasagna, spaghetti or a low acid marinara sauce.
    For rice- I use only organic brown basmati rice or jasmine rice ( because of the aroma).
    Thanks,for taking us along.

    • @PlantsNotPlastic

      I've never actually measured how much the bins hold but I think they can hold close to 40lbs of rice??

    I just found your channel today due to this video popping up and I am bingeing your recipes. I am plant based and enjoying all the new ideas from your videos. I love your pantry and back up system. I love you have real food! I enjoy pantry organization videos but at times can't get over how much junk/snacks people put in their pantry on a regular basis. Anyway, I love that you are prepared and have at least (what looks like) 3 months supply at home. I have about 6 months and the security I feel from it is enormous - the world is crazy and who knows what can happen. I always challenge people to really look at what they have in terms of making meals - and how many meals do they really have at home. People think they have more food than they do. I am happy I found your channel. PS: On thing I also stock up on is Bob's Red Mill Potato Flakes - great for so many uses and even a fast mashed potato (enough himalayan salt is key) and I have even used them to make the chez/alfredo types sauces when I don't have real potato on hand. Also put your rice in the freezer for 3-4 days to kill the weevils. Bugs don't like bay leaves either. ; ) Blessings.

    Have just discovered you and am binge watching. Love this, more please! Yes would to see a fridge/ freezer tour! We keep lots of dry beans and grains, and far fewer cans (or tins as we say in the U.K.) instead I cook a Kg (ish) of beans, mixed grains (think Dr Gregger BROL) in the instant pot, then freeze in portions, ready to chuck into chillis, soups etc. Our kitchen is old and small and pest proof storage tricky, so the freezer is a relatively safe place 🌱🌱

      Thank you so much, so happy to have you here! 😊 Definitely planning to do a fridge/freezer tour soon. I feel you on an older kitchen! But great that you're doing what you can to make it work. Love that you pre-made, pre-portion and freeze. We are so tight on freezer space that we have to be picky about what goes in it, though (need a new fridge/freezer at some point, our is quite old as well).

    If you're going to be getting masa, Bob's Red Mill has a good quality masa harina (make sure its the masa harina and not corn flour because they have both). They also have an organic one which is a dollar more than their non-organic one. If you make a lot of tortillas or use it a lot in general, that Maseca is good, but honestly I question the quality even though everyone uses it and I don't know if its Non-GMO or has had pesticide usage or not. The Bob's Red Mill masa harina isn't as fine as the Maseca, you may have to grind it further, or you can leave as is and add a bit more water to re-hydrate better, but it depends on altitude, desired preferences, whatever. That said, I still buy Maseca if I'm making tamales as its a larger package for less price, but I do prefer the Bob's Red Mill especially as it has a way to seal it after opening.

    @KathleenCorum 2 роки тому

    It is very interesting to see that through our own journeys, you and I have ended up in much the same place. A couple things are different though. I've been shopping the local thrift shop and have gotten most of my bulk bins there. They're mostly mismatched as a consequence. The ones I've bought new are food grade buckets for which I've bought Gamma Seal lids (air tight). Also, I keep all my flours in the freezer, as well as my bulk stores of rices, seeds, and nuts. Nuts, brown rice, and the germ part of flours go rancid if not used fast and grinding into flour, opens the grain up to air which can spoil it. I live alone so using fast does not easily happen. I don't give the beans special treatment but I, too, try to do 'inventory management' and FIFO.

    I just came across your channel and very much enjoyed your pantry tour and particularly seeing your large bins and how you store your back stock. I also use clamp jars to store my dried goods and wasn't aware that Mason actually makes them too - it was nice to see (I have the bormioli rocco ones). The only thing that suprised me is that you didn't have any lentils. I have a lot of different types of lentils from brown/green, to yellow and small beluga and du puys lentils so I assume you don't eat lentils? Is it a minimalist thing?

    My smoke needs are filled by ground chipotle and hickory smoke powder(it's with torula yeast).
    Just adding as I built up my salsa plastic bottle collection, I never needed to transfer from one container to another. That doesn't make sense to me. I wait until I have enough empty bottles, that I can empty a 50lb bag all at once. It's best if you use something as a gasket for the lid to keep it air tight as possible. Never had an issue. Btw, I know those salsa bottles aren't a great thing to eat the contents of, but even glass jars have a mystery liner on the bottom of the lid, which always gets in contact with the food.

    • @PlantsNotPlastic
      @PlantsNotPlastic  2 роки тому

      Chipotle and hickory smoke powder sounds like an interesting combo. Not sure I understand what you're saying on the salsa container bit but sounds like you might end up needing to find room to stack all those containers if you're transferring from a 50lb bag into small salsa jars?All the containers (large in the gym, smaller in the back of the pantry and the large mason jars in front are all air tight and (so far) we've never had issues with contamination or items going bad.

    Popcorn you can get in 50lb bags. I bought many 50lb bags over time and I ended up reusing those large evil #7 plastic salsa bottles. The ones at groceries are eight cups worth, the ones from bulk warehouse stores are 16 cups worth. I don't buy things for food storage, I buy food items that come in a bottle I want to reuse. I got free frosting buckets from a bulk warehouse store when I was a member.
    What would be nice is more people coming together to make larger purchases and were able to portion it out. I bought my more commonly used spices in 1lb or 5lb amounts, and that is lasting me. Big purchases save money as long as there's no waste. Can't leave anything unprotected here without having moth larvae growing in it.

    • @PlantsNotPlastic
      @PlantsNotPlastic  2 роки тому +1

      Bulk food stores help with that - we only buy large bags of things we can make sure to use up completely before they expire. Will definitely look for larger bags of popcorn if we can get them from the bulk food section at Sprouts here. And so true about bugs, weevils especially can infest whole plants and end up traveling with bag and into your pantry 😶

      That's such a weird allergy, I would be studying that and wanting to see how he reacted to lentils that were sprouted and cooked until completely soft. Like for me, I was sure I became allergic to wheat, but I believe it was because of wheat I ate that had a high level of the ergot fungus. High amounts of organic whole wheat have never bothered me to this date upon resuming wheat.

    At 5:26 you have a confusing banner at the bottom. The kind of cans you want for tomato products are steel with a copper liner. The aluminum tubes of tomato paste are lined with plastic. Aluminum is not a safe material to touch any acid type food for extended periods of time. All beverage aluminum cans are also lined with plastic.
    Why no lentils or peas? I love those two healthy quick cookers the most.

    • @PlantsNotPlastic

      Should have clarified that we purchase tomato in cans (you're right, lined with copper) rather than glass and mixed material lids or plastic because of 1. the packaging and 2. most pre-made pasta sauces have oil in them. Husband is allergic to lentils 😣 and we do buy split peas every so often when we want to make the recipe, we just don't keep it on hand for regular meals!

I have made beans from dry (to try and be more economical), pre-soaking, rinsing, adding a bit of vinegar…but i always get painful belly gas immediately after eating them. Any suggestions to mitigate the problem?
    Also, thanks for sharing your great recipes and ideas!

      I'm sorry, what a pain! Beans have a sugar called raffinose that's difficult for the body to break down, which is what causes gas. You may want to try soaking the beans for longer (before I used an instant pot I used to soak beans overnight before cooking them). I also know people can have sensitivity to beans when first adding more of them to their diet, but it sounds like you've been eating beans regularly for quite a long time? The suggestion I've heard for people first incorporating more beans into their diet is to start with a smaller volume and build up, so it's possible (just a guess!) that slowly incorporating homemade beans into your diet my help you to adjust to them long-term?

      @@PlantsNotPlastic Ive heard adding a tsp of baking soda when soaking your beans will help with this.

    Nice in deed to see your face - though there is something flirty about the apathetic, blurry image of you looking at your monitor while showing us a close up of a finished dish :-) I too have a habit of putting the packaging in the jar so I know what it is just like your quinoa. Thanks for sharing!
