Rice has spores of a potentially harmful bacteria strand called Bacillus Cereus.
These are small cells capable of reproducing quickly - and they have the capability of making you ill if they're allowed to manifest.
If rice is left at room temperature after it's been boiled, these spores can become damaging bacteria, which then produce the toxins that cause vomiting and diarrhoea.
The longer rice is left, the more likely you are to get ill from eating eat.
So, when it comes to cooking rice, it’s best to eat it in a timely fashion.
Anything leftover should then be cooled quickly – but not in the fridge.
