Why does rice smell bad?
Reading time - 2 minutes.
The product smells unpleasant when:
- expired;
- storage conditions are violated.
Unless it's Basmati. The smell of the latter cannot be called bad, it is specific: a subtle scent of lemon and a slightly harsh herbal amber. The Thai "Jasmine", which the hostesses put in sushi, also smells unusual - the "mouse" smell appears when the package is opened, but disappears after washing and boiling.
If for some reason quite "standard" rice began to smell bad during cooking, check its expiration date. And never buy rice by weight (no label). The musty smell of "white gold" can acquire in a damp room.
