Now they say that as long as the vinegar is distilled, even grain distilled white vinegar, that the gluten is destroyed in the processing. I guess there are some super cheap white vinegars that are not distilled, but I've never seen them. All other vinegar is fine, as far as I know. Butting in – the vinegar/wheat thing is old research.

It usually makes enough for side dishes for 5-7 meals. It freezes really well. I just heat it up with some olive oil or butter, and it does just fine and dandy. Enjoy!

I'm not sure if it freezes well or not. What I do is cook 4 cups dry rice, which makes about 8 cups when cooked. We eat some with that meal. The rest I store in the fridge, either in the cooking pot or in a glass storage dish. Then at the next meal I reheat it, usually on the stovetop in cast-iron and I season it up with salt, pepper and oil, and other things, too. It tastes really yummy that way! You could tailor the seasonings to suit what you're serving that meal.

A mix of flexibility and planning. I am curious, do beans freeze well? And do you eat brown rice for more than one meal? How do you store it? In my culture, rice is eaten fresh with every meal. But it seems too time-consuming to make fresh brown rice, so I wondered if there was some way to season it so it stores better. Sounds like a wonderful plan. A mix of flexibility and planning.
