Holly in FL Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was thinking of making Cheesy Chicken Stew for supper on Thursday. However, the brown rice that I have has been around for a while. I opened up the container and it smells "oily." Dump it? Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would. Brown rice supposedly has a shelf life of 6 months. I know I've had it last longer, but if it's starting to smell rancid (instead of rice-y :)) I would toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Sorry for you and your rice. I keep mine in the freezer since it does seem to 'turn' pretty quickly. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I always keep brown rice in the fridge or freezer. The shelf life is so short that it's likely "this close" to rancid when you buy it...if you buy at a grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
