I wouldn't recommend that imported rice, those slant eyed countries
grow rice and everything else in animal and human waste. I buy Goya,
grown in CA. Also buying rice in five pound packages is very
wasteful, rice doesn't spoil and costs a lot less in the larger sizes.
I buy a 20 lb sack and is a better deal even if I give away half.
Where I lived previously there was a large Hispanic and Asian
population, those families with ten kids bought rice in 100 lb sacks.
