I buy rice in the larger size bags. Which is the best place to store uncooked rice so it stays fresh longer and does not attract 'bugs' ? I once stored some uncooked rice in the regular cupboard and some flying type bugs were seen in the rice container. Yuch !
Any suggestions for best storage . . . Fridge, freezer, cupboard . . . ? If uncooked rice is put in the fridge or freezer does that effect the quality of the rice ? Any difference for storing uncooked white or brown rice?

Thanks for replies. . . In the past I have stored it in an air tight container in the cupboard...I later saw bugs moving around in that same airtight jar...When I opened the jar some of them flew out...Yuch ! I like the suggestion here to maybe buy higher quality rice that has not already been packaged for a long time.

My husband is part Japanese so we eat a lot of rice. I think the quality of the rice does matter. Also, where you buy it. Make sure it's not coming from a grocery where it has already been sitting on a shelf for a year. We are fond of Botan. It comes in a white sack with a red rose as the logo. We keep our rice in a glass commercial size candy container and have never had a bug problem. But we go thru 1/2 lb per week. The fridge or freezer will add moisture which can be deadly to rice.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

I just put the whole bag in my freezer and I take it out to make the rice. The quality is the same.

I seal bulk rice in a glass jar with a tight fighting screw-top lid.

buy an airtight storage canister. big mason jars or other containers with air tight tops work perfectly. i would think that the moisture in the air in the fridge would not be good for it...
