Foil is used not only for baking potatoes, meat or fish, but also for storing food and prepared meals.
But you can't use foil in every situation. In some cases, it can make dishes lose their appetizing appearance, and sometimes such products become harmful to health.
The taste and appearance change
Experts do not recommend wrapping foods that contain acid in foil. These include tomatoes, citrus fruits, and dishes to which vinegar has been added.
The acid interacts with the foil material, exchanging molecules with it, resulting in a changed taste.
In addition, white spots may appear on dishes and products in this case. They are not dangerous for health, but they look completely unattractive.
Warm food
Warm food wrapped in foil can be harmful to health. There is a significant risk of aluminum entering the body with food.
