I only buy colored rice in small quantities and it's sometimes a welcome
change but not worth keeping around for occasional use, IMHO.. I've
never come across bug problems with the domestic rice that I keep in
tightly lidded containers and I don't buy large quantities of imported
rice in cloth sacks. Given the amount of rice that I use, it's hardly
worth the small savings in buying large bags.
