Question on food carriers 1960's Style

Many years back a veteran explained how he carried rice in socks during his time in the field in Vietnam. I like rice and have always been curious about a few things...was the rice cooked, how long would it stay edible, why a sock, etc...?

Turns out looks like other items...like yummy C rats... were carried in the same manner.

Just curious.
