Brown Rice with Black Spots?! Should I Toss It or Not?

Cooked up some brown rice and noticed a few grains with black spots—one was even completely black. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, but it’s a different package than before. I’m honestly not sure if this is just normal for brown rice or if it’s a sign of mold or something worse. I’ve read mixed things online—some say it’s harmless, others say throw it out immediately. Anyone else run into this? Would you eat it or just play it safe and toss the whole batch? #FoodSafety #BrownRice #KitchenQuestions #IsItSafe #CookingConcerns #Food
