Bread, Cereal, Grains: Features and Storage

Bread, cereal, and grains offer a range of textures and flavours and are versatile cooking ingredients.
Bread varieties include flatbreads, loaves, and rolls; cereals include rice, wheat, and oats.
Consider grain cooking properties; for example, short-grain rice gets sticky when cooked, while long-grain rice remains separate.
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining quality, including airtight containers at room temperature for bread to prevent staleness.
Grains and cereals should be stored in cool, dry places in tightly sealed containers to protect from moisture and pests.
Uncooked grains, when stored properly, can last up to a year.
Cooked grains should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days.
