Keep the original packaging stored after purchase? Five major NG behaviors that may cause white rice to change

White rice is a common staple food that Chinese people think. Although white rice is relatively easy to store, if it is not stored properly, it is likely to produce rice swells, or make the white rice taste better or even smelly. Japanese media "grape" recently consulted rice cooker "ヤマトライス" to understand what NG behaviors should be avoided when storing white rice.

1. After buying it, store it with the package

Some packaging is for air permeability, and may not be completely sealed. However, without sealing, moisture and moisture may be allowed to penetrate into the package or allow small crawls to crawl in. Therefore, after buying rice, it is best to switch to a sealable package.

2. Place it under the kitchen sink

Many people put rice bags under the kitchen sink

There is no sunshine. However, the environment under the sink is damp and air circulation is poor, which is prone to mold and may also be contaminated with the odor of the drain pipe. It is best not to place it here.

3. In addition to being placed under the gas table,

, which is similar to the bottom of the sink, the gas table is also prone to temperature increases due to cooking and other conditions. It is best to avoid putting rice grains in places where high temperatures are likely to occur, and it is best to place them in the refrigerator or in places where the sun cannot be shined.

4. Save for too long

Sometimes, in order to save trouble, I would buy a large amount of white rice at one time. However, if the processed fine rice is left for too long, it will gradually change in texture and taste. When buying rice, you should carefully estimate the best amount you want to eat.

5. Mix new rice into old rice and save

Some people may think that the container of rice placed at home is very sealed, so if you buy new rice, it will also be mixed in the originally stored old rice. However, the container and old rice will easily lead to swelling after being stored for a long time. Therefore, it is best to use up the old rice before adding new rice, and clean the container thoroughly.
