Whatever you get, buy food grade 5 gallon buckets, and some gamma seal lids. Your rice/beans/flour/salt/dehydrated foods will be moisture and insect protected. Cant eat food you prepped if it gets ruined. Just as important as the food itself is how you store and preserve it.
Non GMO, whatever you decide on. Parboiled white has more nutrients preserved than regular white rice. Jasmine and basmati have great flavor, brown and wild are more expensive but healthier- they also go bad more quickly, so try to vacuum-seal them, preferably in mylar (regular vacuum sealers get you part way, you need to quickly finish the seal with an iron, check YouTube for good instructions), with oxygen absorbers. We found brown rice to be a good middle point between price and health, and we do lots of blends in our cooking.
I am stocking up on bags of rice.
Dont forget the salt. Easily overlooked in my opinion
Rice isn't protein though. We have rice and flour, mylar vacuum with oxygen absorbing packs, but we have beans and other proteins too.
I have spagetti as well.
You need nutrition not just calories. Rice and pasta is not enough.
These are just pieces of the puzzle. I will have more.
What do you recommend, brown & or wild rice.

On that note, brown rice will go rancid after 1-2 years due to the additional oils.
White rice will last 50+ years if stored properly.
Rice and beans combined make a complete protein.
I’ve brown rice go rancid in six months maybe because it was in plastic.
Thanks, good info
Here is what I purchased.
15 pound bags that don't expire until mid next year.
