Just opened a bag of rice from my relatives and noticed it had pantry moth larvae (ノシメマダラメイガ Indianmeal moth) in it. We wrapped the whole bag up in a garbage bag and set it outside, but with the price of rice being what it is – would it be worth it to try and salvage the rice?? I know there's no physical harm in eating rice that has bugs in it, it's just psychological ick – but I also know pantry moths are absolute f*ckers to eliminate should they hatch and spread.
Should I try the methods listed online to rid the rice of the larvae/moths or just write it off as a loss? We have Calrose backups but it's sad to toss out 5kg of rice from family😩
