A Go-To Meal Prep Staple

Would you believe that 4.19 million metric tons of rice were consumed in the United States in 2016/2017? It’s likely your family contributed to that number. Buying brown rice in airtight, waterproof, and bug and rodent proof pails ensures that the brown rice you need will stay fresh for up to 7 years*. And when opened, the rice will stay fresh for up to an entire year. Whether you use it for everyday meal prep or as part of your emergency food supply, a bulk pail of brown rice is worth its weight in delicious and hearty meals.

*Shelf life of brown rice is shorter than white rice due to its high oil content.

Save Money, Reduce Waste

Buying shelf stable food in bulk offers many benefits, starting with cost savings and waste reduction. It’s a given that purchasing food in large volumes presents substantial savings. What’s different with shelf stable bulk food is that it won’t spoil or go stale like its fresh, store-bought counterpart. It’s easy to see why Augason Farms shelf stable bulk food will save your family money and reduce the waste of spoiled foods.

Large Families and Groups

Bulk, shelf-stable food is an economical way to prepare meals for large families, church groups, schools and restaurants. The airtight pail, when unopened, keeps food fresh for up to 30 years. Once opened, food will last up to a full year. That’s plenty of time to prepare many high-quality and great tasting meals for any type of gathering. In the event of an emergency, bulk foods such as rice and beans can be added to soups, casseroles and breakfast dishes to extend the number of meals that are needed to help nourish neighbors or community members who may be suffering.
