Beware of Organic Rice

I'm all for organic... buy it when I can... but you need to know that if you buy organic rice that you have to use it quickly. It's not for storing for long periods of time.

Why might you ask? Well, because it's organic, there are no pesiticides used... which means there is the possibility that there are insect larvae living on that rice. If you store it for too long, then those hatch and turn into bugs. Finding these bugs is not a pleasant experience. My husband found them and he hasn't eaten for a while.

However, one cool thing that happened is because he found the bugs, he completely cleaned out the pantry and reorganized it. An unexpected benefit...

So... what have we learned?

Organic rice - not good for storing, contains extra protiens and can help you get your pantry cleaned out.
