Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic.
Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so.
Garlic
Garlic can
become soft if stored in the refrigerator.
"Never
store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and
mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to
store garlic in a dry, dark place.
"Garlic
has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium
Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she
warned.
Onion
Onion is a crop
that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put
onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to
form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half
for cooking, and put the other half in the refrigerator. Don't do that,” Jangda
appealed.
Ginger
Like garlic and
onions, ginger is susceptible to mold.
"Mold
starts to form very quickly when you put it in the refrigerator, and it is
associated with kidney and liver failure. "Don't put it in the
fridge," Youngda warned.
Rice
Rice can be
stored in the refrigerator, but not longer than 24 hours. Uncooked rice may
contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
Spores can survive cooking.
The bacterium Bacillus cereus grows best in a temperature range of 4 to 48ºC. In foods like rice, bacteria can produce toxins as the food cools, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Symptoms may appear several hours after eating spoiled rice, which is why it is necessary to seek medical help immediately. Although death is a rare consequence, it is not excluded. Bacillus cereus can grow in a variety of starchy foods, from rice to pasta.
