How to store rice flour so it lasts.
Rice flour that is stored carelessly can experience a decline in quality. In fact, it's not uncommon for insects or lice to appear in piles of rice flour, you know. Here's how to store rice flour that you can practice at home.
1. Choose the right container.
Use an airtight container such as a glass or plastic jar that has a tight lid. Make sure the container is clean and dry before adding rice flour.
2. Keep away from humidity and extreme temperatures.
Store rice flour in a cool, dry place and protected from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it near heat sources such as a stove or oven.
3. Prevent insects and pests.
Make sure the storage container is tightly closed to prevent insects or pests from entering. If possible, you can also add bay leaves or other spices that can help repel insects.
4. Use seals.
If the jar or storage container doesn't have a tight seal, you can use wax paper or aluminum foil over the flour before covering it with a lid. This will help prevent moisture from getting into the container.
5. Label with date.
Write the purchase date or expiration date on the rice flour container so you can monitor how long the flour has been stored.
6. Avoid storing in the refrigerator.
Rice flour does not need to be stored in the refrigerator. Low temperatures and humidity in the refrigerator can cause flour to become damp and change texture.
