Just a reminder that the study says “white rice”, not brown rice, which can go rancid unless you keep it refrigerated or in the freezer.
I’ve found that bulk powdered milk and potato flakes can taste a bit funky after a couple of years in the original packaging. I now prefer smaller serving-sized packaging as opposed to bulk-sized storage.
I am vacuum sealing 40 lbs of brown rice. Are you saying that it goes bad if it’s not frozen? Wife and I eat mostly brown rice for dietary reasons.
I’ve had a 20 pound bag o’ brown rice in the proverbial cool, dry place for about 5 years, now. Doin’ fine. Bought it for this specific reason. Down to about 6 pounds...should replenish.
