I've just googled, and it says that rice will start to go brittle and not be so flavourful after about 6 months.
It says to check the smell, the look, and something else which I've forgotten.

Three years is a long time . I am no expert despite my username! Don't think I would use it though , may be all sorts of tiny creatures in there. Hope someone here can have a more positive answer for you.

I ate some basmati rice that was at least 6 years old a little while back. blush

It was fine though.

I have a large tub of basmati rice from the time during Lockdown when I got deliveries and ordered a big sack by mistake. Consequently it has been sitting around for more than 3 years in the garage on a storage shelf and I found it the other day when having a clear out. Will it still be ok to use? I don’t have a ‘use by’ date as it’s not in the original package. I hate to throw out food but wonder if it’s worth keeping.
