Just vacuum sealed some rice, did some math, 5 pounds of rice is 12 cups, 2 cups (dry) per day for 2 people = 6 days. 2 cups dry is 6 cups cooked. did some beans too, figured a pound (dry)a day for 2 is pretty accurate. a pound of beans is about 2 1/2 cups. YMMV
I have been so busy getting this stuff together I had forgotten to sit down and calculate portions. Thanks for the information.
What are you doing on spices, salt etc. for your beans and rice?
FYI for anyone following my posts about the snorkel style sealer I bought, it is working great. I have almost run out of things to repackage. I can sure tell the difference in a properly vacuum packed bag and one done with the hand pump and tape method.
