Because we use all-natural processes, our rice is clean, safe, and free from chemical residues. But, like any natural product, there are pests we need to guard against.
Common Pests to Watch For
- Weevils, especially black weevils and red flour beetles.
- Life cycles include eggs, larvae, pupae—these stages may be present even if you don’t see adult insects.
Our Prevention Methods
- Cold and hot storage rooms to slow pest development.
- Vacuum sealing.
- Radiation treatment to eliminate pests without using harsh chemicals.
Phayaayara’s Assurance
- We pack our rice immediately after selection, so there’s almost no chance for infestation.
- No moth-pills or harmful chemicals are used for shelf life extension.
- Fresh-packed rice that you can eat without stocking up too long.
3 Key Tips for Safe Storage
- Eat your rice within 3-6 months for best freshness.
- Keep your rice in sealed, dry, and cool conditions to prevent pests.
- Use traditional natural repellents (e.g. dried chilies, bird chilies, kaffir lime leaves), or store in the fridge if in hot or humid climates.
