Question, about to do some rice and beans. Pot rice in freezer for 72 hours but the bag sweated like crazy coming out. Seems dry now and have desiccant but waiting for the 2000 absorbers to come in today.

Roll with it or not?

Let it dry then bag up into smaller portions. We use a food saver to vacuum seal 2 cups at a time, then fill a 5 gallon bucket with the bags and add a few O2 absorbers.

I was homeless as a kid so keeping "supplies" is a sub-conscience choice for me

Put in winter gardens too. Kale, cabbage, spinach, lettuce.
Plant potatoes in March.

For long term storage, we use mylar bags and O2 absorbers in 5 gallon buckets.

I don't know why, but I have kind of been going overtime on stocking on store able foods. And other needed supplies.

Anyone else doing more then normal?

I'm planning on eating the enemy. And some Chunky soup I have stored.

The condensation is moisture pulled from the surrounding air, so if you have it in a sealed bag in the freezer, and keep it in the sealed bag until it comes back to room temperature, you’re good to go (the moisture only gets on the bag, and doesn’t reach the rice). If you exposed the cold rice to the warm air (non-sealed bag, etc) then it probably did absorb some of the condensation. If that’s the case, I would probably pop it in a warm oven 180 or so, for a few minutes to try to dry it out, without toasting it.

What do you about beans going rancid in storage?
