Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cooked grains, cut-up veggies, and beans can all cause illness if they aren’t refrigerated correctly. Store them in small containers in the fridge and don’t leave them out at room temperature for longer than 4 hours.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grains, because of their high protein content, are highly perishable and must be cooled and refrigerated as quickly as possible if not immediately consumed. Once the grains have been fanned and are cool, transfer them to the refrigerator to cool completely.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nearly every type of whole grain can be kept in the fridge. However, that doesn’t mean it has to be. When storing fresh whole grains, the most crucial factor is that they are stored in an airtight container, no matter where you place them afterward.

Detailed explanation-4: -Whole Grains (like Brown Rice, Quinoa and Millet) Storing brown rice in the fridge can extend the shelf life for up to a year. To maximize freshness and shelf life, the popular grain purveyor, Bob’s Red Mill, suggests storing rice, quinoa, millet and all other whole grains in the freezer if used less than once a month.
