“The best rice for long-term storage is white rice, specifically long-grain white rice. It is inexpensive, readily available, and provides a 30+ year shelf-life packaged oxygen-free. Other white rice: Jasmine, Basmati, Arborio, and converted, are also excellent survival food."1
“On average, a pound of white rice will yield around 592 calories when cooked. Roughly, there are 5 to 6 cups of rice in one pound. As a rule of thumb, we can consider around 125 to 150 grams (0. 3 pounds) of rice consumption for a person in a day. Based on the estimate one person will need approximately 85 to 100 pounds of rice annually. That’s considering two servings per day. Truth is, running short of a vital food item like rice when the world has shut down can be a disaster. Don’t let this be you."2
