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.

I had a friend from Vietnam in HS, and I asked him why does he have a hamper in his kitchen. He kicked it open and it was filled with rice. I knew he ate a lot of rice, but I wondered if it went/ could go bad. This post reminded me of that memory.
