Macro Challenge! Grain of RICE!

[baturn]

I made the mistake of cooking the rice first. Then I ate it.

No "winning" to it.. but having fun doing it, and hopefully learning something new from the attempt. That is the real WIN!

There are no winners! Just having some fun. Each photograph posted by everone most likely has something one of the others don't. The practice is the real win.

This was a BAD idea. It wouldn't be so bad if it was on the grain, I'd just insist on washing the rice from now on.

No. While you can't see it clearly, the bug is INSIDE the grain. Now I am wondering how many nearly microscopic insects I eat every single day and don't even know about it. Gipson, damn you, now I am going to have an eating disorder.

More than you care to know about. Rice and cereal are particularly bad about this. The bugs just show that it has been on the shelf for a while, but there are always eggs. I learned this the hard way in the Navy. On deployment, we had those little sealed cereal packs. The first few months of deployment, everything was all good. About 3 months into it, there started to be bugs in the cereal. Now, these were sealed, individual packs. Only one explanation...all cereal has eggs in it, you just shouldn't give them time to hatch.

Happy eating.

There is already certain Larvae-like quality to rice that is kinda gross. This is not helped up close and backlit.
