Why Eating Leftover Rice Can Actually Be Dangerous For You

We all know that some foods are not safe to eat: rotten meat, spoiled dairy products, moldy bread. But did you ever suspect that rice could make you sick, too? And the kicker is that the spores that could cause foodborne illness might be there before you ever cook it.

How can you make sure the rice you make is always safe to eat? A lot of it has to do with speed: How quickly you make it, put it away after cooking it, and eat it after you reheat your leftovers. Don't risk getting sick! This is why eating leftover rice can be dangerous.

Whoever wrote this script does not consume rice on daily basis.

I’ve eaten plain white rice left out for couple of days after cooking in rice cooker and reheated and still healthy and never gotten sick! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lmao, grandparents have been eating leftover rice as they are of Asian descent for the last 70 years and are still going strong. Literally no health issues asides from glaucoma.

Fried rice is made from left over rice most optimally. I’m not sure I buy this. I can see if you leave the rice out for hours before storing it, but that goes for many foods.

Leftover food should be put in the fridge and not left out forever? Who knew?

[bluedrummajor]

I've never had problems with rice kept in the fridge 3, 4, 5 days after making, but I eat it either cold from the fridge or heated very hot in a soup.

How have BILLIONS of people managed to survive this long without living under sterile conditions?

Why is it I can't find a food 'fact' related channel that can't avoid making misinformed videos about leftovers?

[DianaRussia]

I've eaten old leftover rice left in my rice pot for years and years...probably 50 years. Zero issues.

I always store leftover rice into the fridge after it cools. We usually eat it all fast anyways. My family eats leftover rice all the time and we are fine. We know how to store it and usually eat it quickly.

Simply keep it warming or keep it refrigerated letting it sit outside can make rice spoil but as you should be able to smell and see it spoiled as rice becomes very mush

[ianc]

Lol I been eating leftover rice for 30 years.

I don't believe any of this report. My Japanese neighbor regularly cooks rice in the rice cooker, and leaves it in the rice cooker and sitting out on the table for days and it's rather delicious. I've never heard of her family or anyone else getting sick from this room temperature rice, and I've even copied her practice and done this myself for 40 years with no ill effects.

When we have leftover rice, we either; reheat it and sometimes we cook fried rice from it (Asian people usually put leftover rice in the fridge to cook fried rice so as to avoid rice being too mushy or wet to consume), or we feed our chickens with it.

[TheSteveo]

They use leftover rice to make fried rice. Your argument is invalid

That's Why I Love To Have A Fried Chicken Cafe With Country Store, A Fried Seafood Cafe With Country Store, And A Barbecue Cafe With Country Store.

Asians like me eat rice, leftover or fried rice EVERYDAY! Rice is sacred in Asian culture. I'm 72 and I have never had a problem with leftover rice. I've had problems with milk. It has caused me stomach problems. Generally, Asians are lactose intolerant. I never drink milk. Rice gets moldy when not put away properly and left out on the counter. I am actually offended about this unfounded theory. 😡

[ryudragonpunch]

What’s with all this anti-rice propaganda?

[Critique]

You put a few drops of vinegar per 1 cup of rice 🍚 to keep it from spoiling longer. For example put about 7 drops of vinegar for 5 cups of rice before cooking. Vinegar is a preservative that's why they put vinegar in pickling.

Just because it hasn’t made you physically ill in the moment doesn’t mean it’s not doing harm from myco toxins in the long term. Just because you’re grandparents were affected by it doesn’t mean you won’t be as you are eating a completely different set of rice meals in your lifetime and you also have different dna and metabolic interactions. The rice doesn’t look moldy it becomes a slimy texture
