Rice Tips
To save money, buy plain rice and season it yourself.
Experiment with different spices and bouillon flavors.
For a breakfast rice, use “sweet” spices such as cinnamon and
nutmeg. Add 1 teaspoon of each per cup uncooked rice.
Store dry rice in airtight containers.
Cooked rice can grow bacteria just like meats, fish and poultry.
Store cooked rice in the refrigerator.
Use, freeze or throw out after 2 days.
Thaw frozen cooked rice in the refrigerator.
• Reheat thoroughly to 165°F.
