I wouldn't recommend that imported rice, those slant eyed countries
grow rice and everything else in animal and human waste. I buy Goya,
grown in CA. Also buying rice in five pound packages is very
wasteful, rice doesn't spoil and costs a lot less in the larger sizes.
I buy a 20 lb sack and is a better deal even if I give away half.
Where I lived previously there was a large Hispanic and Asian
population, those families with ten kids bought rice in 100 lb sacks.

Azuki beans are mostly seen in sweets and deserts on the left side of the planet. Occasionally, one will see it cooked with mochi rice. I think it's a good luck dish. There's also a sweet azuki soup that's eaten for new years day for good luck. Near as I can tell, azuki beans are good luck.

Yoose right about that Popeye. I often have to pick out small turds
in the rice, and then I rinse it, so there is no shit taste.

Clueless as normal Sheldon. It's called storage space and the bug
proofing we required south of you. But then, you will just call us
nasty to need basic bug proofing becaue you don't live in the south so
have no clue at all.

The PINHEAD IMBECILE never thought to store rice and other food items
in glass jars. I sure hope you spray your crotch with Flit.

Gotta laugh there! He;d shrug off the 'added unintentional live

Sheldon, it is stored safely but I don't have 25 gallon glass jars
hanging about here. I get it in amounts I can safely store as do all
others in the south. Open your mind a crack. You might get suprised
to learn something about the rest of the USA outside your tiny corner
of Northern NY.

I have a similar one I used to make wine years ago. But I don't
think they would be large enough for Popeye. Post if you find any
50-100 gallon carboys!

you can still buy saurkraut in gallon jugs (for not that
much $) and those jars make excellent storage containers.
i use them for the bulk beans that i grow once i've got
them dried and sorted. another relatively inexpensive way
to get half gallon sized jars is to check out the canning
section at the store (when they finally get restocked
again). $12 for 6 jars is well worth it (and they are
great for canning the bulk tomatoes we grow too when we're
processing them).

Those would work however I think a 6 gllon capacity is a bit much on a
kitchen counter, also heavy to lift. I use one gallon wide mouth
screw cap glass jars that were free when I bought pickles... each
holds a bit more than five pounds of rice/small pasta/sugar/etc. Chewy
sells very nice air-tight cannisters for storing dry pet foods.
https://www.chewy.com/s?query=dry%20...submit-button=

We keep those large storage containers on the floor of clothes
closets. We actually keep rice in old one quart glass mayo jars that
we were smart enough to save from before plastic jars, we have more
glass jars than we can use. The plastic quart jars will work too for
keeping vermin out of foods, also free. There are many large wide
mouth screw cap containers in food markets, simply open ones eyes... a
short time ago I bought a gallon glass jar of pickle relish at
Walmart, olives come in similar glass jars.

We also have a few of these for pet food and wild bird seed:
https://www.target.com/p/behrens-6ga...gclsrc=3p.d s
Sold at a local hardware/feed store... a six gallon bucket will hold a
lot of rice in one gallon zip-locs... can be kept outdoors. We keep
one on our deck, lined with a plastic trash bag for bird seed. We
have two in our garage for dry cat food, we have an assortment of very
nice aluminum scoops, leave one in each bucket. The Tractor Supply
Stores are a very good source for food storage products.
CSHENK is very obviously extremely Low IQ, that she even has an IQ is
quite doubtful.

Canning jars by the case are inexpensive and after the canning season
they typically go on sale for half price, stores don't like storing
glass. There are web sites that specialize in selling all kinds of
wide mouth screw top glass storage containers.

Best would be is risotto rice, it's a bit expensive though but it has
the same texture and starchy as pudding is.

I bet risotto brand is only sold in bothell. Most of us can't buy
risotto.

they've not been in the stores at all most the times
we've checked this season. whatever the stores have been
stocking on the shelves has been selling. in the future
some of these jars may be able to be found for less $ but
until then we'll see...

not only jars have been scarce this season but lids for
canning have also been hard to find at times. towards the
end of summer when doing the tomatoes we had four cases
of wide mouth jars we couldn't use because we could not
get any lids for them, but luckily i managed to find some
jars available (including the half gallon jars). so that
gave us another 100 quart supply which got us through the
end of the harvest. there were a few times i was
wondering if i was going to have to throw away good food
and am glad we didn't.
