I can't answer how fresh the rice is but I can tell you that it makes delicious sticky rice.

Nothing listed and it is certified organic--simply brown rice and water. I've never opened a spoiled one and it is quite shelf-stable even in Texas' summer heat.

my understanding is that it is... it is grown in California and much healthier than the other rices.... we love it and eat if often...

Not that long, around 30 - 40 minites. Time isn't an issue because you can make it ahead of time and leave it on warm for days and use it over several days. Stays just as fresh as when first done. Love this rice maker!

The product I received didn't expire till over a year after I purchased it. So it is as fresh as the cereal on store shelves or maybe more so.

It's dye. They say it's whole grain. But if you carefully find a half rice. The broken surface is black too. If you break one rice. It's white .

I keep mine in a cool dry place (cupboard) and have had no problems with expiring for two years and running. I noticed no appreciable degradation in taste or function even after two years in the cupboard. I eat it when the desire hits me and when it does, I might eat nothing but for days on end. I have even bought my own medium grain rice and ground it in my Kitchen Aide blender and just cooked it whenever. I tried the freezer route but it went bad on me. Somehow got ice crystals in it. Then someone told me to just keep it dry and it should stay good. It works for me so far...after a couple of years or so and still appears fine. I made a pot of it not too long ago and it tasted great. Good luck.

I kept it in my pantry but I used mine every day (1/2 teaspoon) every morning till it was gone. Never had a problem with freshness.

It is very fresh. I adore Pamela's Products and make all kinds of yummy things. I order on line and it is shipped quickly. It is time to order again.

It smells like cooked rice. It is a comfy smell, and after you take it off the smells dissipates

Unsealed it seems to stay fresh for manynmonths. I bought a bunch in December and it is still good. Opened it seems to stay fresh for months also.

We recently cook brown rice a lot, because my wife demands eating brown rice. To be honest, I do not know how brown rice shall be cooked. I ate white rice when I grew up. I can tell how that taste like among other cooking methods. The brown rice has more moisture than the regular cheap rice cooker, which tends to cook brown rice a bit dry. However, it is a not as good as the brown rice cooked at Chipotle for my taste. My wife said she is happy with the result when I asked her, but we are all asian and just started eating brown rice.

As far as I know it was 'fresh'. I've been using it since I received it. This is the first time I've purchased the "light" formula - I have thin fine hair, and I was happy with the purchase.

This product is very fresh and it's shelf life is 5 years. I have eaten this product and I like it very much.

I don't know because I've never tried to keep the rice warm for that long. I have a feeling that the rice begins to dry out after about 3-4 hours in the warm mode. I'm not sure how the steamed rice would smell after 1-2 days but I'd guess it does not smell as good as it does when it's freshly steamed.

I hsve had mine for about a month. It is still fresh. In addition to sealing the package I also seal the package inside of a ziplock bag for double protection.

Shelf life is indefinite if kept completely dry and sealed against impurities, insects, etc. Upon purchasing I usually open the inner heat-sealed plastic bag (this is the 'weak link' in the Indian packaging), pour out enough rice (about half) to allow removing the plastic bag and then replace the bag with an appropriate extra-large food storage size ziplock bag, then pick over and replace the rice. I have found it to be wholesome, tasty, and unchanged after a year and more, when stored this way.
