5 Foods You Shouldn't Reheat Reheating food from the refrigerator often requires using a microwave or other heating methods. However, according to research, some foods release harmful substances when reheated. 'Woman's Day', an American women's magazine, has introduced 5 types of food that should not be reheated. ◆Spinach, Celery, Beetroot= When heated, the nitrates in these vegetables can turn into toxins, and especially on the second heating, carcinogens can be produced. Care should be taken to ensure that these vegetables do not go into reheated food. ◆Mushrooms= In general, it is best to eat mushrooms as soon as they are cleaned. The quality of the protein in mushrooms deteriorates from the moment they are cut. ◆Eggs= Reheating boiled or scrambled eggs can cause toxins to form. These toxins can have a negative effect on the digestive system. ◆Potatoes= If the temperature of the place where potatoes are stored is too high, it can cause a rare bacterium to grow that causes botulism food poisoning. This bacterium does not die even if it is microwaved for a short time. To avoid this problem, it is best to store potatoes in the refrigerator immediately. ◆Chicken= When cold chicken that has been stored in the refrigerator is reheated, the protein components change. This can cause digestive diseases. If you want to reheat chicken, you should thoroughly cook it and heat it up very hot inside.
