Storage Tips
Jasmine rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly stored, uncooked jasmine rice can last for several years. Cooked jasmine rice should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within 3-4 days to prevent bacterial growth. Avoid storing rice near strong-smelling foods as it can absorb odors.
