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
