How Does Rice Help Prevent Clumping?
Unlike salt, it wont dissolve.
Le, the bran covering brown rice limits the grains contact with moisture in the air.
White rice is more effective because its starches are more exposed, maximizing absorption.
Other Methods To Prevent Salt Clumping
No rice on hand?
Silica gel packets are a great alternative.
Just remember to keep them sealed, as the gel inside is not edible.
