The latter two are used on a regular basis and replenished every year. If youdon't want to use bags you can buy any size 02 absorbers and put them in your jars.

When you put the rice in the Mylar bags , do you empty it out of original packaging from store or just put it in like it is ?

Grain moths.

I have a moth trap in my rice bin due to them.

For flashlights (and other lights) look at Olight.

I have been happy with what I have purchased from them.

I bake all of my: rice, beans, lentils, etc. @ 250f for 45 minutes. No organism can survive that.

out of the original to reduce as much air as possible. Seal the bag mostly with an iron, slide in the o2 absorber and vacuum the bag and finish sealing with the iron.
