Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

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

Pellet fuel

Biofuels made from compressed organic matter or biomass are known as pellet fuels (or pellets). Any one of the five main types of biomass—industrial waste and co-products, food waste, agricultural leftovers, energy crops, and untreated lumber—can be converted into pellets. The most popular kind of pellet fuel is wood, which is typically produced from compacted sawdust and other industrial wastes left over from building, furniture manufacturing, and timber milling. Empty fruit bunches, palm kernel shells, coconut shells, and tree tops and branches thrown during logging operations are some additional types of industrial trash. In order to be used in currently operating coal-fired power plants, so-called "black pellets" were manufactured from biomass and polished to resemble hard coal.   The heating value, moisture and ash content, and size of pellets are used to classify them. They can be used as fuels for producing electricity, cooking, and heating in homes or businesses.
