Storage Time

Temperature
Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
Herbed rice freezes beautifully! Allow the cooked rice to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or freezer bags. For best results, press out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat from frozen in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water. While texture may slightly change, the flavor remains excellent.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell, distinct from the fresh herbs.
- Slimy or mushy texture, indicating bacterial growth.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
