Ew. There are probably eggs in there too. I wouldn't buy that kind any
more.

Learn to store your grains properly and you won't be seeing those nasty things in your food. Yuck.

I used to have that problem when I lived in the midwest; I don't think
it was any health threat.

One way to prevent this is to keep your rice in the freezer. That works
for keeping flour and the like bug free, as well.

Just wash your rice, cook it up, and then dig in!

Only if you have a grain of rice for a brain.

That's your assurance it's organic.

I only posted that query for discussion purposes (like Julie does). 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. My house is old and the kitchen is primitive to say the least.

maybe the egg came with the rice and when you seal the rice you seal the egg
with it.

That's why freezing, even for a few days, will help.

That's possible but seems to me that insects have short life spans and
if they can survive in a sealed container in the dark they should be
emerging while still in the warehouse. 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.

Probably the eggs are already present in your rice. All you can do is
prevent them from hatching. 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.

Good cooks are undaunted by primitive kitchens or a limited selection of
ingredients. A good cook is flexible and resourceful. 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!

I would never want to see that!

The eggs were likely already in there. As others have stated, I keep
rice and other grains in the freezer. The eggs don't hatch so what I
don't know won't gross me out.

Why worry about a little extra protein? 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.

Grubs or worms? Grubs are big slimy things. 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.

Yes, the poor grub is dead so I'm sure it's health has suffered.
