How to preserve rice properly
①How and where to store
The best way to keep rice fresh is to store it in an airtight container.
It is better to use a transparent container to easily observe the rice without opening it.
Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place and avoid areas around refrigerators and microwave ovens, which dissipate heat.
②Odors prevention
Do not store rice near detergent, kerosene, or raw food as it tends to absorb odors easily.
③Bugs prevention
In rare cases, bugs may spawn because of a poor storage environment, so containers should be cleaned frequently.
④Mold Prevention
A wet environment can make rice moldy, so you should wash containers after the rice is used up and dry them well before filling them with new rice.
