Rice storage (sorry if old hat!)

[jaffab]

I have 10Kg of Rice and 10Kg of various pastas on store - I have this on hand way before I started prepping... we generally bulk buy meats, hard goods (bog roll, washing powder, dishwasher tab;lets etc), rice and pasta from our local Cash&Carry and then store them in the garage.

Anyway, for Rice, we have always bought it in 5Kg bags, stored in the original bag, stored in large 'Useful Boxes' - see link below. Then we we run out of on hand kitchen rice, we transfer the 50% of the rice into household kitchen containers (plastic or glass) and then vacuum seal the remaining 2.5Kg in its original packet, back into the plastic box. We do the same for pasta. Never had any problems from vermin, damp rice, gone off food etc - being doing this for 15 years or so.

Useful storage boxes (other brands are available)....
