The capitalist mode of production is born when labor power itself becomes a commodity, bought and sold. It is a commodity with a unique quality: it creates more value than it costs; it produces surplus-value. This is the shortest possible definition of capitalism: production for surplus-value.
Rice and beans are inexpensive foods that can be stored for 30 years or more if properly packaged, making them good candidates for emergency preparedness food supply. You can store a mixture of beans or a mixture of different rice types, but you must store rice and beans in separate containers. While simple canisters and plastic bags work well for general use storage, long-term storage requires air-tight containers and moisture prevention to prevent food spoilage.
You didn't mention whether the rice is plain, cooked rice (white, brown, etc), or if it has had other ingredients added to it. That's important.

The important thing is to limit exposure to air, which will dry out the rice.The best way is to store it in a zipper-top plastic bag. Squeeze out as much air as you possibly can, then seal the bag.lain rice will last in the fridge for quite a while--maybe a week.
