Some of the brown rice we buy actually suggests using the fridge/freezer to
store as there are oils present that can (and will) go rancid if left
around at room temp. We just use glass mason jars which I vaccum seal and
stack them in the back of fridge/freezer. Each can is a 2 meal or 4 serving
portion. Tastes great and no creepy crawlers to worry about.
