Funny story about rice.
I was going through some boxes that I had stored in an extra bedroom of my house. Inside a box, I found a container with a screw-on lid that was about half filled with rice. The rice looked and smelled okay, so I cooked a batch as a test.
It turned out fantastic.
Now for the interesting part - the rice was between 5 and 9 years old.
Dont know if that's normal or not but it's sure good to know.
