Uncooked rice is like a reliable old friend who shows up for movie night, doesn’t complain, and never ghost you. White rice is practically immortal, brown rice is a loaner, and both are way easier to store than that kale you bought with big dreams. Just keep ’em dry, cool, and sealed, and you’re golden.
So the next time you find a mystery bag of rice from 2019? Cook it. Eat it. You’ll probably live—and your dinner will be just fine. Unless it’s brown rice. Then maybe call your therapist.
