Standard varieties of dried “white” rice are generally non-perishable when stored properly. It tends to be extremely shelf stable (there’s a reason disaster preppers stock up on white rice in their emergency food rations).
If stored properly, white rice will last at least 10 years—if not forever. Since white rice is dry, mold or bacteria have trouble growing; and since white rice doesn’t contain fat, it won’t go rancid.
White rice is basically the hard tack (clack clack) of the east.
I’ve made hard tack because of Max Miller. Hellfire stew, too, and it was surprisingly good. I did season it a bit more than just hard tack and bacon, of course, but it’s a pretty damn good dish.
Oh oh - he alluded to Weenie Royale in his video about food in the Japanese internment camps, so I looked up a recipe for that and made it a couple of times. Also surprisingly good, albeit a bit of a historically accurate reminder of the cruelty of human beings while eating it.

Calm down Max.
