4Patriots Freeze-Dried White Rice #10 Can: Survival Rice Designed to Last 30 Years, 47 Servings

Good quality from good company

At the time of this review, this product described primarily as "Freeze-Dried White Rice #10 Can" which isn't a meaningful title unless it can be compared to similarly-described products, which are typically cooked, freeze dried, and then are near-instant in reconstituting with boiling water.This rice is ordinary rice that might be freeze dried before being cooked, which would be pointless. Why even call it freeze dried?Terribly misleading for an ordinary product priced at a premium price that also suggest that it is in fact freeze dried in the way people would expect.

Container came in dented in 2 places. I do not believe this is safe for long term storage. The reason why I purchased this product was for long term storage. Now I discover this is not eligible for return. Shame on me for not checking in advance. I will NOT purchase again.

I hate seeing an American company doing sales like this. I wouldn't have left this review but they continued to try to mislead in the Q&A. So, here we are.At the time of writing this, the title reads "4Patriots: Freeze-Dried White Rice #10 Can, Instant Dehydrated Survival Food Ready In 3 Easy Steps, Camping & Everyday Use, Designed to Last 30 Years, Resealable Emergency Food Storage - 47 Servings"From this we think that this is freeze dried and instant. In reality it is normal, uncooked white rice. They might have freeze dried this uncooked white rice, but that doesn't make it instant rice. The title might be referring to their company selling "Instant Dehydrated Survival Food" in general, but it is extremely misleading to have it in the title.In the Q&A I asked "Is this rice pre-cooked instant rice?" and they gave the answer "Yes, the Freeze-Dried White Rice can be prepared in minutes." Minutes means 15 minutes, like normal rice. How do I know? I called them. They don't list this anywhere online but the support agent (who was very kind) was able to look at the instructions.This isn't instant rice. It may be freeze dried but that doesn't do much for uncooked rice. So if you need a long shelf life can of normal rice, this is the product for you. Really though, the listing title should be changed and they should just operate honestly.
