I dunno about your rice or wild rice. There are more than 3.5 billion (give or
take a few hundred millions) eat their rice from cooked unfreeze storage rice
whether it is white or unpolished. Can you imagine these billions kept their
rice in a fridge? Many do not even know what a fridge is. :-)

OK, maybe processed rice like Uncle Ben, Rice-a-Rony and whatever you keep them
as suggest by the label. As for the billions, they will laugh at you if you tell
them to store rice in a fridge. They have been eating rice for thousands of
years, way before some smart Alex invents the fridge. grin jokingly.

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
