FAIL
Can you point me to a good explanation as to why? I don’t have any canning or vacuum sealing equipment and have been putting beans and rice in reused spaghetti sauce jars for a few years now. Everything looks fine and I made some split pea soup w/2 yr old split peas this winter and it was fine. Can botulism grow on dried legumes or something? I figured my amateur attempts are better than doing nothing and starving outright but maybe not based on the bluntness of your FAIL comment.
