This thread does not seem to be asppropriate for dc.dining especially
with the worm factor - but - someone suggested keeping the rice in
the original sacks. Most places sell their rice in cloth sacks. These
sacks are not impervious to anything. That is how the moths, worms etc.
get into it in the first place. When I buy a sack of rice I transfer
as soon as possible into a sealed container. I remember in Sri Lanka 
(where we eat tons of rice) it is usually kept in a wooden chest or a 
metal can with a fitting lid - something like a big garbage container
that is used in the U.S. An organization that ran a food program had
a lot of problems with gypsy moths - these guys are hard to get rid of
once they get into your house. We ended up having to throw out all the
food in the place and then invest in some mega-sized plastic garbage
containers. Also - if you buy rice from a health food store or a food
coop or any non-supermarket type place it is always a good idea to 
wash the rice carefully. This gets rid of the organic stuff you dont
want and also any stones that may still be around.
