Brown Rice Tips and Things to Know
● Even healthy products can be bad if overused, so make sure to eat in moderation. Brown rice is very filling, so this should not be difficult. ● Store brown rice in an airtight container to avoid moisture from getting into it. ● It is best to store it in a cool and dark place. ● Storing in the freezer or refrigerator is also good, but airtight bags should be used when doing so. ● Brown rice does not last as long as white rice does, even in its uncooked state. This is only because of the natural oil content, which is higher than in white rice. ● You can tell that your brown rice has gone bad if you see any discolouration, mould, insects, or get a foul smell. Brown rice can go bad if you allow moisture to get inside the container it is being stored in. Cooking brown rice may take a little longer than white rice, but the end product is worth it.
