I bought a bag of Thai jasmine brown rice today.

She was not happy, and now we have a 5 lb bag of rice in the refrigerator (I suspect it might slip out when I am away at work).
Has anyone heard of this before? |
Yes. I keep my uncooked brown rice in the fridge in atightly sealed container. Because of the oil content in the bran,
brown rice has a shelf life of about six months. Uncooked brown rice keeps best when refrigerated. And, since you don't know how long your rice has been arpund, or what the storage conditions were, it's best to err on the side of caution.
