Canning Parboiled Rice/Long Term Storage

[@mercedesantongiorgi7072]

I saw your video today December 30 2021 and I previously saw from Home stead Heart Channel. The texture of course won't be the same like cooking the rice in normal stove way but as an emergency storage food for me is perfect. Iam puertorican and canning is not a Hispanic tradition but I love it. I start learning from Home Stead Heart Channel and now I see yours. Thanks for your tutorial. In April I got Covid I was in Intensive care unit for 24 days and then 1 1/2 in regular room,I almost past away. God has Mercy on me and during that process my family 👪 didn't suffer for food because We were prepared with can food. I appreciate all you tubers for these tutorial God bless you all and againg thanks.

Hi there. First of all, I am so glad you pulled through. May God continue to bless you and your family. I love being self-sufficient as possible and can appreciate anyone else who does. You are right about the rice being a food source more so than the texture of rice we are accustomed to. I mentioned HH in the video because I have got the idea from her. I have another video showing how I prepared the rice once I opened it as well. Stay encouraged!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!

You can buy commercially canned spanish rice, what is the difference? I think I read the commercial canners, get the temperature up very quickly and bring it down very quickly, and for some reason that makes a difference between how they can it and doing it at home. In my opinion it should be safe, it you don't let it sit on the shelf too long, which may make the flavor not be optimal.

[@am-fil]

That's good information. Just what I was looking for.

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. I have truly enjoyed being creative with this canned rice. I do have another video on what the texture was like. Pretty sure if you experiment with it enough you may get it to your liking. Peace and blessings!

[@am-fil]

@@greenlifegardenhomediy3414 Oh thanks, I will look for that one.

[@brandibizzle3676]

Where can I find parboiled rice? I’m having a hard time finding it

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

I found mine at Sam’s Club!

[@brandibizzle3676]

Thank you! I’ll have to get my daughter to check. I have Costco and I didn’t see any there.

[@amymoore5646]

I wish we could see the finished product open.

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. I have a video of what it looks like and how I prepared it. You can also check out Homestead Heart which is where I got the idea.

Do you know what the shelf life is?

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. I keep everything at least a year.

[@mommaqakaahabaraham2184]

How much rice for quarts

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there! I’m unsure about that. Homestead Heart may be able to answer that. Thanks for stopping by.🌸

[@madison.destination4075]

I live. In NY it’s been hard to figure out my altitude but I keep everything at 2000 cause that max only goes that low How many minutes should I could cook the rice for I’ve done it before and wheww it came out super mushy but it didn’t go to waste I made a Spanish dish that called arroz con dulce I want to try again but as I am on an income not allowing me to waste food I hope someone can give me an idea of how long I should cook the rice for I hope I made sense 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. I actually made rice cake/Patties with mine. I did not get the exact texture I wanted but I keep in mind that there is so much you can do with this rice in a grid down situation. I have another video that show how it looked when I opened the jar and what I did with it. Thanks for watching.

If you choose not to can this parboiled rice, should you freeze it before storing it? I keep seeing people freeze rice. I bought this same rice from Sam’s in bulk. I’m just wondering if I should freeze it before I put it up. Thanks in advance!

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. Most say they freeze it to kill pest. I personally would try different methods. I put bay leaves in one container to help ward off any pest. Look that up. Thanks for watching!🌸

[@amycalladine4092]

Freezing does help kill off any larva that may come in products from different bugs etc. After bringing in moths in cornmeal one time I routinely rotate flours, mixes, grains , pastas, rice , nuts etc in the freezer just to be sure. I don't know how long you are supposed to do it, at least a few days I think.

[@wandagordon8563]

How did your rice not come out a jar of mush. I followed homestead hearts recipe to a T and is was pure mush!

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. It was definitely not Uncle Ben’s. Lol! I do have a video of what it looked like and how I used it. Thanks for stopping by. 🌸

[@parleypratt260]

The only way to get "true" minute rice is to dehydrate or freeze dry your cooked rice. It comes out exactly like minute rice. I have done it for years. I am very picky about my rice. I can't stand it to be mushy.

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

@@parleypratt260 Wow, never thought of dehydrating it after it’s cooked. Thank you!!

[@dianematter5924]

Would you post a link to the video of how yours turned out and how you used it? I can't seem to find it. Thank you

[@florida2000]

I followed Homestead Heart Instructions to the letter and ended up with a solid clump of mush. I used 'Food to Live' Parboiled long grain white rice.

[@jasmineamsrud5573]

What was the Measuring for the tyrannic and rosemary in your yellow rice?

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there. I used 1/2 tsp Rosemary because I love it and 1/4 tsp turmeric. Be sure to check out my other video on how I used the rice as well. Thanks for watching!

[@jasmineamsrud5573]

Thank you😁

[@jasmineamsrud5573]

I have another quick question so with my family being so big I prefer to use the quart jars so instead of doing 15 minutes for the pint jars how long would it be for the quart jars?

[@greenlifegardenhomediy3414]

Hi there Jas! I honestly have not used the quart size. And if you have not made the lime cilantro yet. Do check out my video on how to use your rice if the texture is off.

[@jasmineamsrud5573]

No I have not OK thank you dear 😘

[@catherinebennet]

Did your rice end soaking up the water? Mine was half water/rice with I pulled them out of the canner so I’m nervous. 😝

Hi there. Yes it did. I also have a video showing what it looks like and what I did with it!

Hi there. I wasn’t that thrilled with the texture but the flavor is great and it can still be used in many ways if yours did not work out. Thanks for subbing!

[@silverstacksprepper]

@@greenlifegardenhomediy3414 you're welcome. It sealed so that's a plus lol. It was my first time. I just wanted to get something put away in the stockpile from using it for the first time. A friend of mine saw my video and said I couldn't can rice.. then I got nervous so I youtubed it and found you. I parboiled it then canned it, so I think I'll be alright.
