JimB Brown and wild rice are best stored frozen, or the oil will become
rancid in 6 months or less. As a matter of fact I just cooked 2 bags of
1 yr old brown rice, it is fine. Read the label on Kretchmers Wheat
Germ it says "refrigerate", that is because of the oil in the germ or
in rice the husk. White rice is different it wont go bad but freezing
it wont hurt if it is airtight
