Best Answer

That is almost certainly a "best by" date, not an expiration date. Still Tasty calls the shelf life of uncooked white rice "indefinite". Yes, you can cook and serve your rice assuming that it is free of contaminants.

Quick Answer about "Sushi rice does it have expiry date ? [duplicate]"

It might leave you wondering whether or not sushi rice has an expiry date and for how long you might be able to keep it. Of course, it all depends on what you mean by sushi rice expiring. If you're referring to sushi rice that has already been cooked, yes, it will have an expiry date.

Uncooked white sushi rice will keep almost indefinitely in your pantry when stored in the proper container (see above). You can store uncooked brown sushi rice in a cool, dark pantry for up to six months, or in the freezer for up to 2 years.

How long can you eat rice after expiry date?

Dry white rice may last for up to 2 years if kept at room temperature, while brown rice only lasts about 6 months. Refrigerating and freezing them increases their shelf lives. Cooked rice must be refrigerated, and it keeps for about 4 days.

Does rice expire?

Dry rice lasts for months, but some varieties keep longer than others. While white and wild rice store for years, brown rice only keeps for about a year until it goes rancid. But no matter the variety, cooked rice keeps for only a couple of days unless you freeze it.

How long is seasoned sushi rice good for?

Let it cool on the counter (or in the refrigerator) until it reaches room temperature. Serve. Use the rice immediately in a recipe, or transfer to an airtight food storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
