Indian here, I have a few different varieties of rice in 10-20 lbs bags at any point. I store the bags in big storage containers and have a smaller amount handy in the pantry for everyday use. Never had bugs in rice. |
NP - same for me. I keep 1 big bag of rice in the pantry, and decant a smaller amount into a taller plastic container with a lid so I can pour out what I need. I've never had pantry moths, knock on wood. |
I use old popcorn tins/tubs for my basmati and my chickpea flour. The kind of popcorn tub you find at Costco around Christmas ![]() |
I keep the rice in the bag it came in, make sure when taking your rice out your hands aren't wet. A drop of moisture will ruin the bag. I roll up the plastic bag inside and zip the outer bag up. |
after an issues with some sort of rice bug years ago, now we freeze it first then I store it in a large glass canister |
Try the sterilite containers on wheels if its 15 pounds or more |
Generic white-American family here and we do the same. We use a clip like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Ikea-Bevara-Sealing-Clips-Pack/dp/B00SH18114/ref=asc_df_B00SH18114/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167121201241&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2566555221331356916&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007569&hvtargid=pla-368534993407&th=1 We've been doing this for over two decades and I've never once seen any type of bug or moth in my pantry. |
