Around here, we eat a lot rice. It is affordable, nutritious and makes an excellent base for soaking up the flavors of many different types of cuisine. Since centuries, rice has been a staple food in many cultures. More than half of the world’s people eat rice as their main food. This popularity is due in part to its ability to grow in areas of the world such as Africa and Asia. It is also a good source of fiber, carbohydrates and some plant-based proteins.
Rice is also popular because it is easy to store and has a long shelf-life. Rice can be stored in a way that will maintain its flavor, nutritional value and freshness over ten years. It’s important to know the best way to store your rice, whether you want it to last that long or not. This is why I have gathered some useful tips to assist you in your long-term rice storage.
The storage of rice is not the same for everyone. Rice comes in many different varieties including jasmine rice, basmati, white rice, and brown rice. Basmati rice, one of my favorite types, is the best for making my turmeric-rice recipe and my cilantro lime-rice recipe in the rice cooker.
