First things first, let's talk about cooked rice and beans. When stored in airtight containers in the fridge, they can typically last for 3 to 5 days. But, if you're like me and you tend to get a little lazy with your leftovers, you might be wondering if it's still safe to eat after a week. The answer is, unfortunately, no - it's best to err on the side of caution and toss it after a few days.
Now, when it comes to uncooked rice and beans, the rules are a little different. These guys can last for months when stored properly in a cool, dry place. It's like they're the everlasting gobstoppers of the food world - they just keep on going and going. But, if you notice any signs of moisture, mold, or pests, it's time to say goodbye.
