Grains

Rice, oats, quinoa, couscous and similar grains hydrate based on precise ratios. Volume is skewed by kernel size and air gaps. Weighing both dry and cooked grains keeps texture predictable.

Why weigh dry grains?Cup measures change with grain size and packing. Weight guarantees the right water ratio for fluffy, non-gummy results.

Storage & tools

  • Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
  • Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
  • Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
  • Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.

Store airtight, cool, and dry; whole-grain versions can go rancid over time.
