| Container | Where it lives | Best for | Downside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim bottles (2 kg) | Fridge door or vegetable drawer | 2-5 kg buyers — the freshness pick | Refilling from the bag is a ritual |
| Sealed bin (5-10 kg) | Coolest, darkest cabinet | Big households, bulk buyers | Room temperature costs freshness in summer |
| Vacuum canister | Pantry, pumped after each use | Months-long storage, brown rice | Price and pump for marginal daily gain |
| Bag with a clip | Wherever it was dropped | Nobody — moths read it as an invitation | Neither airtight nor cool nor pest-proof |
