We usually keep leftover rice in fridge and have it next day, normal ghar pe routine. But now with pregnancy im double conscious about food. Is leftover rice safe if its properly stored and reheated?
If it was stored properly in the fridge and reheated well, leftover rice is fine. The risk is rice left out at room temp for hours, that can grow bacteria. Refrigerate quickly and heat it hot before eating.
I ate leftover rice often because cooking fresh every meal isnt realistic when working. Just cool it fast, fridge it, and reheat properly. Dont leave it sitting out on the counter all day though.
Beta, fresh is always better in pregnancy, but a properly kept leftover is okay. We used to make curd rice with it the next day which is light on tummy. Just store it well and dont eat anything that smells off.
