No shortage in my house. I bought 20 lbs of Basmati....and thats a lot of rice for one 100 lb person.
“ Among all rice varieties, wholegrain Basmati rice has the lowest GI (glycaemic index), which indicates that once digested, it releases its energy slowly, helping to maintain more stable blood sugar levels. Maintaining stable blood sugar levels is a critical component of diabetes control.”
Excellent choice FRister
Six months ago I bought four 25 pound sacks of long grain and basmati. I have enough for five years. Beans too. I emptied them into five gallon buckets with seal lids, purged them with nitrogen flush, and closed tight. The zero oxygen prevents any grain moth eggs from developing and protects freshness. It’s important to pump the nitrogen down into the grains to push out any oxygen or carbon dioxide.
HAH! Tell that to my 88 lb. Filipina wife.
20 lbs is about 2 weeks worth for my family. We usually have rice breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
