In looking around, most of them seem to come in 10 pound bags or larger which is way too much for testing purposes.   I need to find smaller quantities.  As soon as I can, I will go to a couple of Asian stores that I know carry a large selection and see what I can find.

 

I have no experience of Asian stores in Canada or the USA, but in my experience in Europe and, more specifically, Asia, your Asian store is likely to be the last place to sell rice in smaller quantities.

 

As I'm sure you know, most Asian people eat rice every day and so buy the stuff in 5 or 10kg bags. That's certainly all my locals stores have.
