4. Clean Your Grinder
If your pepper or spice grinder is sticky or oily, a bit of dry rice mixed with coarse salt can help scrub away residue naturally — while protecting your blades.
✅ How-to:
- Add a tablespoon of rice and salt into the grinder.
- Give it a few spins.
- Discard the mix and wipe clean.
5. Preserve Dry Goods
Rice and salt both absorb moisture, so putting a small jar of the mix in your pantry or food storage containers helps keep things like flour, sugar, and dried herbs dry and mold-free.
⚠️ Tips to Remember
- Use plain, uncooked white rice — not instant or flavored.
- Store your rice-salt mix in dry, breathable containers (like paper or cloth).
- Replace the mixture every 2–3 weeks, especially in humid climates.
