Grubs in rice - anything to worry about?
I have the occasional dried grub in my bulk long grain rice which I remove before cooking. Anything to worry about...health-wise?

It seems like no matter how I seal the containers some friggin bug will find a way in and lay an egg or two. I guess I'll have to store my rice in sealed jars or freeze it.

Keep your rice, flour and similar, dry and cool or frozen. Aside from standing out in the field with bugs crawling on them, grains have lots of opportunities for accumulation of insect eggs after harvest. Janet US |

It is quite common for various bugs to get into grain and lay eggs. That is why some people freeze flour and grains. You can pick them out of the rice and rinse the stuff, but don't forget that while they were eating they were crapping. |

I keep my cream of wheat in a Tupperware container in my pantry. I ran almost right out in the early summer and bought a new box of it, opened it, poured it into the Tupperware and then put the top on. I didn't use much over the summer and by early September I tossed it because of the bugs. |

I love good cooks. I took a bite out of a rice ball that was sitting on my desk for a day. I was surprised to see long stringy stuff hanging from my lips to the rice. Now there's something you don't see every day! |

You don't offer much to go on; what brand of rice, if it's imported like basmati it's not very clean... you'll have better luck with domestic rice. Some stores are not very clean... consider shopping elsewhere. If you live in a warm climate there's more chance of insect infestions... if possible buy rice in winter. I store rice in screw top gallon jars, I've never had an infestation... I only buy Goya Canilla rice, available at most every stupidmarket. Do not wash fortified rice. http://www.amazon.com/Goya-Canilla-E...s=canilla+rice |

Don't have to live in the deep south. I live halfway between the Equator and the North Pole and some years back we had an infestation of Indian meal moths in our pantry. They had eaten their way into thin plastic bags and burrowed in our reserves to lay eggs and somne sort of thin webbing. It took two days to get rid of all of them. Then we bought sturdy plastic containers for dry goods (like rice and oats) and I insist that we keep larger amounts in the freezer. -- Socialism never took root in America because the poor there see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarassed millionaires. - John Steinbeck |
