The 5 Foods You Should Never Eat After Being
Stored Overnight
1. Mushrooms and Wood Ear Fungus
If food made with mushrooms or wood ear fungus is
stored overnight, the complex protein compounds in
these foods can harm the digestive system when
reheated. Additionally, mushrooms and wood ear
fungus, whether cultivated or wild, contain high levels
of nitrates. When stored for too long, these nitrates can
generate to.xins, causing stomach discomfort.
Therefore, the ideal time to consume mushrooms and
wood ear fungus is on the same day they are cooked.
2. Leafy Greens
Leafy greens, especially those high in nitrates, can
have significantly increased nitrite levels when slu.vu
at room temperature for too long. The nutrients in
these vegetables, particularly in the stems and leaves,
are also significantly depleted when left too long,
which is why they should be eaten fresh.
3. Soy Products
Soy-based products like tofu and soy milk are rich in
protein and other nutrients, making them an ideal
breeding ground for microorganisms. Furthermore, if
tofu and soy milk are left for long periods, they can be
contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium
that can cause nerve paralysis and even de.ath.
4. Soft-Boiled Eggs
Soft-boiled eggs, where the yolk is not fully cooked,
are not completely sterilized. Eggs contain many
nutrients, so if left too long, harmful bacteria can
proliferate.
5. Seafood
