      New Moon, I realise, have bugs coming really quickly

      I agreed. I had 2 bags of 5kg infested with rice bugs during the period my elder boy was in sch boarding, hence only cooked a small qty most of the time.

      In the end, I bou NTUC hse brand that comes in 1kg pkt with pdtn date printed on the pkt.

          Hi Hi,

          About preventing rice bugs, my MIL put dried chilli into the rice bin and we followed the same. Seems to be a great help in preventing rice bugs because we hardly encountered any! Usually we buy the 5 kg type and that can last quite some time.

          Anybody with experience or can confirm this way of preventing rice bugs helps?

            Hi AgnesMM,

            We mixed in about 1/3 brown rice to 2/3 white rice or ratio at the most 1/2, 1/2 so the rice cooked is still soft but is redish in colour. My boy 3.5 yo hence we are trying to let him get use to seeing and eating \"brown\" rice. For us adults, we ate white rice for years only now eating mixed rice. To me it taste the same just a little bit more chewy that's all!

              I use the ”双虹“ from NTUC and mixed in 1 scoop (use the baby milk powder scoop) of multi-grains. The rice is purplish in color but still soft. I think it is healthier to eat multi-grains. When my kids were small, I grind the multi-grains into powder and add that plus the brown rice powder to cook porridge for them.

                  Yes, I think so, those quite large dried chilli, just put a handful of those on top of the rice in the rice bin. Can try if you got rice bugs problem and let us know if it helps!

                      To remove the chewy texture, I soak the mixed rice grains in the rice cooker for 1-2 hours before cooking. The cooked grains are softer like white rice.

                        I think I put it somewhere but I use the cooking oil mixed with rice so that the bugs dont come.. it works for me 😉[/quote]I use silica gel packets...those you can found in some medicine bottles to prevent moisture. It works for me.
