Check the due date. Look for rice dust.What is old? I have uncooked rice thats been sitting there for a year or so
"Aged" as in a controlled process. Think of aging wine. Basmati is dried in a specific manner to enhance its qualities. I had read somewhere (which I can't find now...) that you should by basmati rice that is shipped from Thailand (and one other neighboring country) because they cure the rice properly. Not the same article I had read before, but this does explain it a bit: https://krblrice.com/ageing-perfectionists/Hmmm I don't think rice "ages" per se.
Maybe after 50 years? or so? ...
