HOW TO AVOID INSECTS IN RICE




It used to be a very big problem whenever we get a new rice bag , that is how to avoid insects in rice . we used to go shop by shop asking for boric powder and we wont get it atlast . so oneday my mother -in -law advised me to add some neem leaves to rice. so i did according to her advice and i didnot get even one insect also . I felt this is a good way of storing rice. But just dry fresh neem leaves in sun for an hour and then add them to rice. Add atleast 15 -20 strigs in different layers.

    Hi, when i came from India i got Zandu parad tablets that we get in ayurvedic shops . if u put 2 tablets in a 20 lb or 40 lb bag they last forever .Just put them back in the rice box when u get while taking rice.These tabs work fabulous.So i stopped using neem trees. If u want natural things to store rice put some cloves in rice bag . They will also work good.

    cheers,
    preethi

    Hi Preethi

    I tried ur palak rice yesterday , it has come out well , i dint use the coconut milk just everything with water. Thanks for the recipe.

    i have a doubt in making pasta , can i replace the TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE with the usual tomato chilli sauce(hot and sweet)?Thank u , Have g8 day

    Hi Indu , tomato & basil is perfect for pasta . As pasta belongs to italian we need to use basil. i dont think it will be good if u replace with tomato hot & sweet.

    -Cheers,
    Preethi

    I recently moved to India (I'm Indian but grew up in Canada). The insects in everything freak me out! I'll get some neem leaves asap. Thanks.

    Hi rad , if you dont get neem leaves you can use cloves (lavang) . Just add few cloves in dals or rice or soojis it prevents from insects.

    Hi Preethi,

    I keep reading your blog and find it very informative.Can you let me know the procedure to preserve rava. I tried roasting it and storing it in an airtight container but still I find it infected. and also I need some tips to store fresh coconuts and lemon juice too.
