Rice is a natural dessicant, that's why it is used in salt shakers
to keep the salt from clumping.

Just spread the last of the rock salt from last year on the driveway.
The rice kept it from forming a big clump quite effectively.

Any particular type of rice recommended?

We just got the cheapest stuff from Walmart. If you spend any more than $2
on enough to handle a 50# bag of salt, you might as well just buy the salt
when you need it. (It was a lb or two.)

I'm tempted to say it was a long grain white rice.
