You Better DO THIS with Your Store Bought Beans!

Take this advice seriously...driving a truck for over 30 yrs..you will not believe what's in your food. As always great video !

Ditto on the moths.

Favorite take away: “If a person controls your food supply they control you” 💯 Makes me proud to be a gardener and a prepper!

Stinging nettle has more vitamin C than a comparable amount of citrus 🍊

Storing in glass jars with a small chunk of dry ice will kill every critter by removing the oxygen

A “nice” thing about living in a cold, northern climate—I can put my rice and beans in a bucket (with a lid) on my porch and freeze these for the three days. Doesn’t take up the space in my freezer. 😊

My Dears’t Patriot Nurse, never thought of freezing beans before storage. Your in depth knowledge and willingness to inform and educate your fellow Americans, who may not yet be prepared. Really demonstrates your love for your countrymen. We give thanks to Holy God Almighty, for to have such a treasure as you in our lives. Please continue, making great broadcasts and keep, “running the race that has been set before you and finish well.” Semper Fi and Aloha. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸

When you freeze your beans for 3 days please make sure they are dried before storing in any container because the moisture from being frozen can cause molds to grow.

Beans are high in lectins, this is the part that some folks find to be inflammatory. My husband is very susceptible to lectins among other things. Make sure that you discard the soak water and rinse the beans to remove as much of this as possible. His preferred method is to do what is called a fast soak (put the beans in water, bring to barely a boil, turn off heat, wait 15 minutes and dump out the water and rinse the beans) follow this with fresh water and soak another 6-12 hours, dump out that water rinse the beans and then put in your cooking water and simmer until done. There are many foods besides beans that contain lectins, leaving seeds in tomatoes for example is another source of inflammation from lectins.

I've always soaked beans, but did so to cut back on cook time - great to know there is more benefits. Thanks! BTW, Back in the '70's during the gas shortage, I remember thinking my dad was a little nutty when he said, "It's not who controls the oil that has the power, but who controls the food. You can get people to do anything, if their kids are hungry. If big business starts buying farms, this will be a warning sign." And here we are today. Big business buying up farms and processing plants right and left.

I place dry bay leaves in the container, learned this from my grandmother. In 40yrs of house keeping never had a problem using this method (Knock on wood). Also use in flour. As long as the bay leaves are dry they will not flavor what they are in. God bless all.

🙄 In my 72 years I never heard of this! I did put all pasta and rice in my freezers for three days but didn't know I had to do beans also. THANK YOU!

I grew up with a girl who's family ate Beans, Potatoes and Cornbread literally EVERY day. Large family, minimal money. But they had with the beans and cornbread, a complete protein, and the potatoes, the vitamin C. Those foods were cheaper than about anything they could purchase, and all 12 of them were healthy and happy.

ABOUT BEANS I'd like to just add this. BUY BEANS WHILE YOU CAN! My DH and I did a test run many years ago. While it's novel to grow, harvest, shell, storage and cook your own dried beans. Its a great deal of work, land, water and time to grow just 1 pound of dried beans you may still buy in the store at about a dollar a pound. I can't fathom how much resources I'd need to grow enough to to produce for a few working men and their families if they were to show up on our door step with none of their own provisions as they have intimated over the years of watching us build our infrastructure here and husband our livestock, garden and orchard. BUY BEANS WHILE YOU CAN. A 20lb bag put up now will save you tremendous resources later. Much love all.

reminds me of the proverb: "... where moth and rust destroy" (re: placing your treasure in heavenly places, instead of earthly places)

Hello from Aus, First of all I am an 88 year old male who is very particular about my food and DO NOT purchase Processed Food/Meals but rather use fresh Local Australian Produce. Secondly the only Bean that HAS to be soaked prior to cooking for Health reasons is Red Kidney Beans to remove harmful poisons from the skin before Cooking. Thirdly in Aus I buy Australian Grown( Not from India , China, America etc) Beans and Pearl Barley which only require Soaking to wash off Dust etc and to rehydrate the Beans other wise they will break your Teeth. Today I made a Slow Cook Stew with four beans and pearl barley soaked overnight, also Onion, Garlic(Whole Bulb), Sweet Potato, Carrot, Capsicum, Brussel Sprouts, Kale, Chopped Beetroot, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Quarter teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, Savoury Yeast Extract, Salt Free Australian Peanut Butter, Frozen Peas and Runner Beans, Australian Beef Rib Fillet with Fat removed cut up in to Bite sized pieces... Six Hours and Spectacular... Enough for Tomorrow and Monday nights. Not very impressed with you displaying Nestles Instant Coffee that is riddled with Chemicals, I Buy Australian Grown and Roasted Coffee Beans, full of unique flavour. I only have one Cappuccino a day with Australian Full Cream pasturised Milk(Not homoginised which is bad for the GUT) that tastes like Milk when I was a Child during WW2 in the U.K.

I recently was checking my pantry. Found a sealed jar of rice. Was full of bugs :( I fully believe in the freezing of grains and beans now! Thank you Patriot Nurse. Been watching you for over a year now! God Bless

Thank you, I had no idea I needed to freeze the beans. I’ve been collecting a lot of emergency food from freeze dried Emergency Essentials, beans, rice a lot. Right now the wife and I have 236 lbs of beans. My wife is Chinese, we married in China. She thinks I’m crazy for collecting so much food but she’ll be thankful in the near future. We’ll be freezing them for 72 hours. This is going to take a couple weeks. You’ve saved a good portion of my preps. Thank you so much.

I’ve had these moths twice. Yes! Had to toss almost everything in our pantry both times. Because typically by the time you notice the issue they have already gotten into everything. I’ve seen the larvae between sticker labels and glass jars. You have to open boxes, peel labels off cans to look thoroughly. You can tape them back if nothing is wrong but I’ve seen them there. I’ve had nests in the corners of my pantry. Seen larvae in tiny cracks. So we painted the pantry after fully emptied and cleaned. Now everything I buy gets frozen or put into a canister or zipper bag to isolate issues if brought home. The first time was from milk bone dog biscuits my grandma gave us. The second time I’m not sure? But I promise if you see moths flying it’s too late. Start checking everything now if you do. As the second time we got on it immediately and did not have to toss out nearly as much food as the first time. But you have to look at every nook and cranny if you see moths. As the larvae can be found everywhere. I’m not kidding when I saw them behind a fully glued on sticker. If I see them flying around the store, I will either leave and not shop there. Or I will take the time to look at each and every package very carefully. Then freeze as needed. I promise once you’ve had one bad infestation you’ll do anything to avoid another.

I jar mine, add bay leaves , oxygen absorbers and seal the air out. Never had an issue.
