I’m from an Asian country that loves rice, but now that I think about, I’m not actually quite clear what gives rice its longevity. Common wisdom here is as long as it doesn’t get insects, get mold, or otherwise change from being dry it should be fine to cook and eat. Otherwise, it can simply sit in a bag or a storage container without apparently spoiling.
How does it do this? I’m aware that it doesn’t last forever, but it sure stays edible (as long as its uncooked) for longer than I expected.

Problem I ran into storing rice is weevils. As I understand it, it’s impossible to be certain your uncooked rice has no weevil eggs in there and they will eat, breed, and poop in there. The googled solution of freezing rice in a container to deactivate the eggs seems to be working out. No more fucking weevils in my rice.
