She brought a bag of TJ's wild rice and it smelled like tree bark, was pale brown, broken and dusty, I put it next to the wild rice from the coop which was dark, nearly black, very shiny, unbroken and smelled like wild rice.

You get what you pay for at Trader Joes.
Bizarre. I've never gotten anything off/rancid from them; they are my suppliers of choice for coffee, meats, fish and grains. Their cheese section is tremendous and my husband won't eat any other cereal than theirs.

Very strange!
