FAQ
Common rice storage questions
Why should cooked rice be cooled promptly?
Cooked rice is safer when it is chilled promptly instead of sitting in the temperature danger zone for too long.
Does brown rice keep as long as white rice in the pantry?
Usually no. Brown rice tends to have a shorter pantry life because of its natural oils.
