Rice, Preservation Of

Rice may be kept a very long period in the rough. After being cleaned, if it be prime rice, and well milled, it will keep a long time in this climate; only, when about to be used (if old), it requires more careful washing to get rid of the must which accumulates upon it. Some planters prefer for table use rice a year old to the new. The grain is superior to any other in this respect. Rough rice may remain under water twenty-four hours without injury if dried soon after.
