It is often difficult for housewives to force themselves to throw away a loaf of bread that is slightly spoiled by black or green spots.
Some turn it into crackers, others carefully remove the moldy layer and use the crumb as an ingredient for cutlets. And someone can simply eat such a slice for breakfast or lunch.
However, it is necessary to overcome yourself – and there are a number of reasons for this.
Perhaps the most important thing is that mold produces microtoxins – substances that poison the human body and cause various diseases.
Most often, the body reacts to microtoxins with an allergy, but sometimes mold leads to serious lung damage.
Finally, let us remember that mold is long intertwined threads that penetrate the entire product, even if it is not visible to the naked eye.
It is believed that if a mold colony measuring 1 centimeter appears on the surface of a product, then it has already penetrated to the same depth and continues to multiply.
So even if you remove the visible part of the mold, it will still remain inside the bread, which has a porous structure.
Moreover, if there are no traces of mold on the bread, but there is a smell of rot or rancidity, it can no longer be eaten.
