Just for the record, if people are put off by the added steps or money for mylar bags, I just store all kinds of beans and grains in 5 gallon buckets and add about 8 or so bay leaves to each bucket - a few on the bottom, a couple in the middle as I pour the stuff in, and a few on the top. I mark each bucket using masking tape what’s in it and the date.
I rotate everything so I am always using up foods that are sometimes 3 years old, no bugs, rodents, mold ever. Only time was brown rice what was very old and had bugs galore. Cats ate it just fine, they like bugs anyway.
For those new to prepping, learn to like and eat what you store, and rotate. Don’t store foods you really hate, but you can learn to like things you aren’t used to. Especially cheap easy to prepare simple foods, everyone should try to get used to eating more of those.
Yep! 5 gallon buckets and bay leaves! The buckets seal tight. As long as the contents are dry, should last many years.
