Thanks for sharing.. Appreciate it much,
I believe with old beans you can add a little baking soda when you soak them and they should soften up during boiling
Thank you for your advice very helpful .
I love that rice ramen!! Tastes best cooked 5-6 min and min chicken better than bouillon. Not as good with chicken broth but still ok
WHATā¦.you have a microwave and a fridge..
This is so great! I'm a bit stumped about how to store this much food in my tiny apartment with my husband. We have some things, but not 6-12 months worth!
Good tips. Grammar check on '….have went bad'
I did not know that there is a way to dry can dry beans in jars in ur oven that will keep long term, sterilize ur jars, then dry can ur beans at 350-400 degrees for 30 min and the lids will suck down and seal
I keep my bulk purchase of white basmati rice in an air-tight container in the freezer!
I have personally used dried beans that were 7 plus years and haven't had any problems with them being to tough. I did once cook up some mixed beans that once had one type of bean in the blend that was too tough. But if you get beans that are too tough you can grind them into flour and make refried beans or add the flour into foods you cook to add nutrition.
Could the slightly older dried beans be used for planting?
Instead of just grabbing items when I go to the store I pick up extra items when they are on sale. Not only does this allow me to have some food security but it saves me lots of money too. After doing it for long enough you will pick out trends and can buy enough to ensure that you have enough to last you at least to the next time an item should be a lower price again. (Of course events in the world happen and can change the when, or if, the lower prices happen.) Using an app that lets you check the weekly sales and shopping at stores that price match to save you from running around everywhere are two tools to help you build up your reserves while saving money doing it.
Canāt locate Redmon coupon?
When you soak your beans that are older add some baking soda to the water. It will help them soften and cook all the way through.
Melissa, have you tried these Raman noodles for your son? MUCH healthier than store bought.

Great information, but her grammar …ugh
Hi, for rice,flour etc do you do any kind of preparation before putting them in jars?(For bugs?)
If you estimate your food needs by using 4 weeks per month times 12 months then you are going to come up almost a month short. You get 48 weeks worth of food for your estimate but a year has 52 weeks, basically a month. Itās better to track for four weeks and then multiply by 13 to get to 52 weeks in the year.
Iām surprised you buy apple cider vinegar as itās very easy to make, unless you donāt produce enough apples to make the amount of vinegar you require. It may be made from mostly the cores. The wonderful thing about making your own vinegar is that if you keep the apple varieties separated when making the vinegar then each variety of apple produces a different kind of vinegar.
First beans if put in a fry pan and heated till the ski crack's then u can soak them as usual. Two pasta will last for ever if kept dry.
do not store honey in a plastic container is it will start to ferment and taste awful and I do not know if it turns into a poison so I threw it away
I am learning that food stored in plastic is not good.
There's good Comments Below
The only beans we eat is pork n beans, and green beans so no sense in buying beans we don't eat.
It would be very nice if you would not shake the items when trying to show them š. it makes my eyes dizzy trying to see what the item is. I do want to see the detailed pkg. Thank you kindly. š
Would those old beans actually sprout after say 3-5 yrs?
Pressure cooking beans no matter how old, WORKS.
Sadly, Azure burned down last night. We had just put everything in our cart when I saw the news. We're Heartbroken for all of those at Azure. And those affected.
My mom grew up literally dirt poor and she always had a lot of food available to eat/fix. Almost an obsession. We are lucky we have never known hunger here in this time and age.
The past participle is gone š
Add an oxygen absorber, itāll extend shelf life. Iāve never had bean get as hard as you are mentioning
The expiry is not an issue; in a dire strait, quantity is!
You used the generic term, "protein",… Protein can be either plant or animal,… in which case, the latter is a spoil without preservatives;Ā unless, you intended the inclusion of pickled meat; applying salt to fresh meat for an extention of its use, and milk for cheese! [If not] then, we have a problem on our hands! Similarly, with fruits and vegetables, if they are neither canned nor a purchased imperishable – they too will go to waste!
Needless to say, I am quite aware of plant oils (namely, margarine & coconut oil) and proteins as a commodity to be had, especially in situations where there is no means of refrigeration!
Pretty sweater! I like the shoulder detail. Thanks for the tips on shelf stable.
I bought a kitchen aide mixer and pasta attachment just to make pasta for myself and family and plan to get those done in the next 2 weeks and valcumn seal so when daughter and family need I can help. I donāt have a rooster but my neighbor said will bring his over to service my girls so I can raise more chickens to process for familyā¦I told them get me the meat bird crumble so I can provide them chicken meatā¦had them already tell me they canātā¦.I think that will change when things get harder..I am poor I got the place to raise but I donāt have the $ to feed everyone.
Enjoyed your video…also like your last name…
Can you use the Redman koser salt for fermented and pickles?
It would be great to hear more about your childhood. Your father must be in his mid 90's to have grown up during the depression (1930's). We heard about your father growing up, it would be great to hear of your father's move from his childhood home and then your childhood home. Was your switch from homemade to convenience foods back to homemade something that happened after you left home? As well, from your father's perspective, it would be interesting to learn more about his parents – what brought them to the northwest and why did they settle on land they did not own at the time.
Please do a video about reusing food storage jars other than mason jars.
A good system to preserve the beans (any type) is soaking them and then, freeze drying them. I learn this by mistake. With chickpeas, after soaking them, I season them with good salt and freeze dry them, they taste like nuts! They donāt make it to my storage!!!!soaking all your beans eliminates the phyto toxins too. Also, boiling them for 5 minutes help. I can them too. But me method of preference is freeze dry after soaking them all night. (I just drain and pad dry them before seasoning with salt, drizzling with apple cider vinegar and olive oil) they really taste amazing. Better than peanuts!!
Brown rice vs White rice. Brown rice is better for us but goes rancid in storage. What about Parboiled rice? What are the storage capabilities of Parboiled rice?
For honey, if it doesnt crystalize, then its not pure honey, regardless of what the label might say. Most commercial honey in the US is contaminated with corn sweetener and labeled as āpure honeyā. So as you shop for honey, go organic, go local, and buy the jar that is crystalized, so you know what you are getting.
I cant do lentils (beans or pasta). They do bad things to my tummy. I can vouch for the chickpea noodles though. That banza brand cooks quite nicely too. The cooking time is different though -dont over cook or the texture gets odd. Great option for going higher protein and low carb. My kids cant tell the difference, which is a lovely bonus.
If you don't know Jesus as your Saviour call on him now. Ask him to save your soul and forgive your sins. He loves you. Time is running out fast. We are not promised tomorrow. If this was your last moments of life where would you spend eternity. Heaven or hell? He'll is real. You don't want to go there. Its your choice. Jesus or Satan ?
As a celiac, I keep on hand the rice ramen. Some are about 5 years old without an issue. I use a good bone broTh with mushroom powder, sliced scallions, amino acids and add some boiled eggs and or meat.
Meat and vegetables are the base of our food storage. We build our food around our meat with vegetables p, add in fiber such as chia, moringa, cocoa nibs, nuts stored in the freezer, ferments, seeds for sprouts and growing, and my home freeze dried other foods. Peaches are our go to fruits. Our grandson sorts papa teethed on peaches. Lol. We donāt do a lot of grains but some corn, a little wild riceā¦ we do have amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa seeds.
Also, my apple cider vinegar, I would decant in glassā¦ I do get concerned about plastics leeching in the food.
My long term food storage is nutrient dense. I like the way you think. I also like that you stress good processes for home canning for safety. Thank you. You have a new sub.
Oh crap I bought a ton of beans. I have a glass top stove can you pressure cook on them
Disturbing news. Azure Standard HQ mysteriously burned to the ground a few days ago.
