I have sourced a supply of Medium Grain White Rice through a west coast supplier. Medium grain white rice typically has a bit richer flavor than that of long grain white, and is slightly stickier. White rice has a shelf life of 25-30 years when stored properly. The best I’ve found is to place the grain in a heavy 4-5 gallon bucket with a good seal, along with some dry ice or oxygen absorbers to remove oxygen.
The rice is packed in 50 pound bags and will cost $30.00 per bag, or $0.60/pound. With exception of Sam’s Club, most suppliers price white rice over $1.00/pound. The problem with Sam’s Club is they have a limit of 1 bag per customer. This event will provide you the opportunity to stock-up if that’s your goal.
