Anyone feeling the need to put up food more the usual?

What do you about beans going rancid in storage?

I'm hoping that doesn't happen. I've read about storing beans and rice this way. Do you know something that I don't? I certainly hope not, I've got a small fortune invested in this stuff...

I've been buying soup mixes and these large jugs of dried veggies. A 1/4 cup dried makes a lot of veggies and works really well in soups. Sign up for their newsletter as they run sales throughout the year.

Made me stop and pause the other day when I realised I'd let my dogs food stash dwindle down to around two months supply. Most important member of the family.

I struggle with this. Not sure how to store their food without it going bad. I'm afraid moisture might get into the bag over a period of extended storage.

I used to give away more than half of what my gardens produce.
This year I have canned, frozen or dried almost all of what I couldn't eat fresh.

We have eaten beans that have been in storage over 5 years. No issues at all.

Pinto's 10 years in Mylar with O2 absorbers, no problem either.
They cook up just like fresh ones.
The bag was in a Home Depot bucket......
(Rice at 10 years did very well too).

Wife is busy with the canning operation. We have a bumper crop of muscadines and persimmons this year.

Use mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Get a food storage system. A vacume sealer is the tops. We use a combo of a few different types.
We have a sealer along with the accessories that vacume seals jars for dry goods as well as wet. Use bags and O2 absorbers.
Oxygen is your enemy ... then temp and humidity.

Either go on some prepping sites and pick up some tips or go to True Prep...cobb pkwy . They will hook you up .

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?
