It becomes poisonous after just one day
Are you storing food in your refrigerator with the thought that “if you keep it cold, it will last longer”? However, did you know that some foods can actually be toxic if kept in the refrigerator? Today,
I will introduce you to 3 representative foods that you should remove from your refrigerator immediately. They can be harmful to your health even after just one day, so read this article and check your refrigerator right away!
1. Boiled eggs are more dangerous when refrigerated
Many people make boiled eggs in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
However, this can be very dangerous.
There is a thin protective film called a ‘cuticle’ on the eggshell.
This cuticle protects the inside of the egg from bacteria and external contamination, but this protective film
completely disappears during the boiling process.
In other words, boiled eggs are very vulnerable to contamination, and bacteria such as salmonella can easily grow when stored in the refrigerator.
Recommended storage method: Consume immediately after boiling, or if unavoidable, peel and store in an airtight container for consumption within 1-2 days.
2. Sesame oil, room temperature is better than the refrigerator
Sesame oil is usually stored in the refrigerator for long-term storage, but this is actually a wrong way to reduce the taste and flavor of sesame oil.
Sesame oil contains an antioxidant called lignan, which protects it from oxidation even at room temperature.
Instead, if stored in the refrigerator:
– Flavor decreases
– Thickens and the texture of the oil changes
– Inconvenience occurs when using
Recommended storage method: Close the lid tightly and store at room temperature in a cool, shaded place (recommended to use within 6 months)
3. Bread is NO in the refrigerator! Freezing is the answer.
Do you have a habit of carelessly putting leftover bread or bakery bread in the refrigerator?
In fact, if you store bread in the refrigerator:
– It absorbs the moisture in the refrigerator and becomes stiff in texture
– It absorbs the smell of surrounding food and becomes strange in taste
– The possibility of mold quickly increases
In particular, the refrigerated temperature makes the aging of bread (re-crystallization of starch) faster, making it tasteless.
Recommended storage method: Seal in a zipper bag or plastic bag and store in the freezer, take out as much as you want and toast it!
It may not be a safe choice to store all foods in the refrigerator.
In fact, improper refrigeration can damage the quality of food and even threaten your health.
