There are eggs in your rice. The slower you eat the rice, the more the eggs hatch and populate (and then lay and hatch more eggs). You can absolutely find handfuls of bugs in old, oversized bags of rice.

If you're going to buy 15 lbs of rice, do yourself a favor and FREEZE THE ENTIRE BAG OF RICE FOR 7 DAYS. Once you do that you kill all the eggs.

You can then proceed to leave the rice outside of the freezer, while also being sure to seal it from air and insects between uses. I recommend a gamma container.

There are always bugs and eggs in your rice. Washing your rice increases your chances of being able to remove them, but does not guarantee. If you want to find out if you have any bugs or eggs in your rice, just steep it in water before using it. The bugs float.

All the above also applies to flour and other ground grains.

This one in a poly bag is $10.71 from the Royal store as well?

Keeping processed basmati rice for years on shelves won't age it. The rice with bran is aged and when it reaches an appropriate age, it's processed.
It is the same as keeping a bottle of whiskey for years will not age, the whiskey has to be kept in barrel for aging

I think it's sooner than normal, which might be why it was so cheap. I'm not going to let mine go to waste, but I did get a refund.

Aged rice is good and I have Parboiled rice bought before the Covid.

I did a return as defective and they're sending me new rice and I got to keep the old rice. Works for me.

Amazon policy on pasta is 1 year.

"all products must have a remaining shelf life that allows sufficient time for the product to be consumed in full plus an additional 90 days." and August 1st is only 68 days.

for decades i have stored this rice under the counter in the original bag. Takes me ~3 years to go thru 15/20 lb bag. NEVER had any bug problems. But you can go overboard if you want.
Interesting. Do you live in a dry climate zone? Weevils prefer warm, humid weather. Maybe they don't hatch if the air is too dry. If not, maybe you're just lucky. They're a common pantry pest.

Maybe if it's kept in perfect conditions, but I live in the real world and I'm not building an environmentally controlled room for my rice. Wink

Same here. I've actually had sealed bags full of them.
