Default Old rice

I made Emeril's Cajun Jambalaya, last night.

Pretty dang good for an FN recipe. Only one problem, OLD rice!

I guess I never thought of rice getting too old or going bad, but it
does. Unlike cereal grains, which tend to go rancid, rice gets old and
porous, making the cooked product crumbly and mealy in mouthfeel.
Ick!

This was long grain white rice and was only about 8-9 mos old. What's
the shelf life of most rices?
