I am looking at bags of beans, rice, etc. and they present the same situation.

Thanks in advance for your help.


I keep beans, rice, and flour in Rubbermaid screw top jars to keep the bugs out.

If you're looking for something you can store, Backpackers Pantry makes great powdered whole milk. It comes in small packages and lasts a few years. Or, you could buy powdered whole goats milk in cans. Meyenberg brand I believe. Last about 5 years and tastes even than cows milk IMO.
