Storing brown rice

[lindag]

I bought lot of brown rice to use in making my dogs' food.

is there a right way to store it?  It seems like it is similar to whole wheat and I'm afraid it will go rancid if I don't keep it under refrigeration.  

Is tha t necessary or am I over thinking it?

You're not over-thinking. Store it In the freezer, in an airtight container.

 

Sounds like your dogs are treated very well.

I know from experience that it can go rancid (takes about six months) but, you don't really know how long the store had it in stock. I vacuum seal then store in the freezer, mostly to make sure the size is as small as possible.
