May I know the size(capacity) and brand name?

i store rice in 1/2 in the bag and the rest in the container i got for buying basmathi rice...its a big one and i refill it.... if i ask for one more container my hubby will kill me.....coz i got so many....

Hi,

I use the rubbermaid containers but the capacity is for 10 lb. i've used it for over 6 years now and it is still as good as new. got it from walmart.

I use containers from walmart... its great !!! been using them for more than 5 years now :)

Its in plastic containers section.2-3 aisles from kitchen utensils.Also,I use the flap interlocking storage containers for storing rice and aata.I buy it wash and dry and then use it.When the container is empty i wash,dry and then refill.It keeps the dabba fresh and clean and without worms.

You can also add a couple of bay leaves (tej patta) to the atta to keep away insects and worms.

Thanks Mythraeyi , for giving the tips ie. putting bay leaves in rice bin. How about for Wheat flour to protect it from insects?
Thanks
