Dry basmati rice is straightforward to store when it is kept protected from moisture, heat and contamination.
Keep rice cool and dry
Follow the storage instructions on the pack. As a general rule, dry rice should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture.
Use a clean, closed container after opening
Once a bag is opened, a clean, dry container with a secure lid can help protect the rice from moisture, odours and pantry pests.
Check the pack information
Always follow the best-before date and any storage instructions printed on the product packaging. If a pack is damaged or the rice shows unusual odour, moisture or contamination, do not use it.
