Newbee - but wholly on board. Want to store some bulk rice. I thought I read to freeze your rice for a number of days before packing in mylar w/o2 absorbers, but... Won't you get condensation/moisture in the rice after it comes out of the freezer (possible causing mold/botulism/rot of some kind) Thanks |

being a lifelong consumer of rice, i would suggest just packing them in food savers at best.... rice being shipped here from asia takes a long time to get here being shipped transatlantic by boat..... as long as they are dry and sealed, they are GTG.....  BTW, never heard of uncooked rice being frozen and i guess u are right when u freeze it , moisture will be an enemy if u pack them.... just seal them in bags and u can store them for a long time....IMHO.....

| We keep one chest type freezer full of beans, pasta, rice, flour, meal, sugar, & dry milk. Seal every bag with a new 6 mil 'overwrap' before putting in away. Still using pre-Y2K stock with no issues. Temp is held just below freezing - not the deep subzero temps. |
