Hi, I just found your channel and I’m enjoying all you do. I do have a question about the oxygen absorbers. I thought you only used oxygen absorbers in very dry foods. I thought you could not use OAs when you have moisture over 10% because you can get botulism. Maybe I misunderstood what you said. Please clarify for me. Thanks and I can’t wait to try brown rice. My husband eats whole oat groats and I have freeze dried them for him and they worked great.

I am not a food scientist but I am acidified foods certified through NCSU. I had read you don’t use the oxygen absorbers in any foods that have oils which is the brown rice. We eat out our preps however sometimes we use them and most of the times we don’t because we used them on all our freeze dried peppers last year and we have nearly ate all of them with our hummus 😀 we are basically learning as we go to. The books by Peggy Layton have really been helpful on all the long term storage things. As far botulism the spores are everywhere and after I did my microbiology class at NCSU I thought I was going to kill my whole family after years of canning and prepping because they have so scared to even do anything after that I had too much knowledge and was terrified to even cook bread for the longest time and that’s how I made my money for my family I baked 75 loaves of bread pretty much three days a week. Sold them all on the fourth and fifth days. I hope I didn’t confuse anyone. I was just going by what the book had said. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope this question you asked does clarify it. If not please let me know and I will watch the video again and put it in the comments. If you are a book person please check on the Peggy Layton books. I will have to try the oat groats recipe. Take care and please do share any information about the oxygen absorbers.

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I’m really new at freeze drying and there is a lot of information to digest! I think there is a conflicting opinion on every topic! Lol I have been binge watching your videos and I’m exhausted! You work really hard!

Isn’t Uncle Ben’s already parboiled and dried as you buy it ?

Well it still has to be cooked. This brown rice has oil in it and has to be watched as it can go rancid. With brown rice for storage this is the best way to keep it a bit longer than usual.

@@dawngallop Yes, I just purchased 75 pounds of organic, sprouted brown rice and I’m thinking freeze drying it would be the best option. Would you agree?

@amy3458 yes absolutely or keep it in the freezer. It won’t keep long unless you do something with it as it can go rancid. Just cook it and then freeze dry it. I don’t use oxygen absorbers in the brown rice either.

@@dawngallop Why are you not supposed to use O2 absorbers in the brown rice? I just heard Provident Prepper mention that but I don’t know why you wouldn’t. Brown rice is 7% fat. Meats, cooked and freeze dried, are A LOT more fatty than that. Shrimp, just boiled, is 8% fat but those freeze dry really well and last for years. SALMON is a fatty fish! Wild salmon is 25% fat. Farmed salmon is 45% fat. So what gives with 7% brown rice? Any ideas?

I was told you weren’t supposed to put an oxygen absorber in the brown rice idk why but it had to do with the oil in the rice. I just saw this message so sorry I didn’t get back to you. Thanks for letting me know the information.

What was the total weight of Rice you made? The whole bag for one batch?

No not the whole bag, I kept making it until I had the trays filled. It was about a half of the bag so approximately 12 lbs maybe. I am in no way a numbers person I just make it and fill the trays.
