I kept several gallons of rice in my garage for 11 years in a big poly bottle. Not air-tight, no preservatives or O2 absorbers.
Tastes fine, cooks up white & fluffy.
Does heat kill food storage items?

Re: Does heat kill food storage items?
I put up a bunch of rice and beans in 2009. Both were packed in mylar w/O2 absorbers and placed in buckets. Rice is fine and cooks up well. Beans got so hard that even soaking 24hrs and cooking in a pressure cooker did not soften them enough for them to be edible. I had to throw them all away.

Do you think there was an air leak in the container? I can't think of any other reason why they would lose moisture.Azchilleverde wrote: ↑July 20th, 2020, 12:48 am I put up a bunch of rice and beans in 2009.

I don't think 02 got to them. The mylar bags(multiple) were still sucked down.
