Two rice packages from China

  Just a photo of 2 simple rice packages (Chinese rise): .

Interesting, vacuum sealed. Next time we get a bag of rice, I'll try to remember to get a picture of it, as ours are different.

I have a problem with rice. It being one of the packager/processor's making. Around July I stop buying white rice. From there till September, there is liable to be bugs in them. A hard shelled insect, that hatches and then is all through the rice. During this time I'll buy parbroiled rice, which has been partially heated to kill the eggs.

It's more high quality rice. Much of the rice here isn't vacuumed and in some cases we also had those small black or brown hard shelled insects.

Usually people here buy the rice this way: you take a plastic bag, you put how much you want inside and they the shop assistant in the weighing station will put a price tag on the bag, after that it's ready to pass the cashiers and the checkpoints.
If you want to buy more, then there are big bags of rice as this one: ^szwmw.cn
I think the vacuum way is the best way.

Yay! I found the rice bug. ^{By picture taken by Olaf Leillinger - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1550147}

 They call it rice weevil (scientific name: Sitophilus oryzae) and it's easy to deal with it:

Control of weevils involves locating and removing all potentially infected food sources. Rice weevils in all stages of development can be killed by freezing infected food below -17.7 °C (0 °F) for a period of three days, or heating to 60 °C (140 °F) for a period of 15 minutes.

Went to the store yesterday and have that picture of the rice I was going to post. I'll edit it to remove the EXIF data, size it, and post it later. I lost the post I started with in this thread, due to a worn out mouse and the springs now give forth double and triple clicks instead of a single one and wiped the comment I would have posted. I'll give those comments with the image.

[Alexa]

Yes. I know it (EXIF). Some images may store GPS information, so you can easily see where the images were taken.

 I prefer to focus on the content of the image, in this case -- the rice.

Yeah... pity that we didn't see the Mojo's rice. That man... we miss him so much!
