#4 – Rice

Any type of rice, except for brown, can last forever. The reason why brown rice can’t, is because it has higher oil content than any other type of rice, thus making it last only a couple of months at best. In order for rice to have an indefinite shelf life, you should keep it in a cool and dry area. To keep it away from contaminants, you should even consider putting it in the freezer or in the refrigerator.
