Where Is the Best Place to Store Rice Grains?
Choose a cool, dry pantry
For most households, a closed pantry or kitchen cabinet is a practical place to keep uncooked white rice, provided it stays cool and dry throughout the year. Avoid cabinets directly above the stove, beside the oven, or under a sink, where heat, steam, or leaks can affect the rice.

Use a well-sealed container
Transfer rice from an opened bag into a clean, dry container with a tight-fitting lid to help keep out moisture and pantry pests. Choose a food-safe container that fits the amount you normally buy, and label it with the type of rice and the date you opened or stored it.

Our 360° Rotating Rice & Grain Dispenser is another option to consider when organizing your rice and grains; choose a storage spot that remains dry and easy for you to access.
Store brown rice with extra care
Brown rice contains more natural oils than white rice, so it can develop an unpleasant, rancid odor sooner, especially in a warm kitchen. For longer storage, keep it in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer, and let refrigerated or frozen rice come to room temperature before opening the container to reduce condensation.
