Vegetables stored for a long time will be poisonous With the accelerated pace of life, many people tend to take the weekend to buy a big purchase, will be within a week of the purchase of vegetables, into the refrigerator for storage, do not know, eat this kind of storage for a few days of vegetables is very dangerous. Danger from the vegetables themselves contain nitrates. Nitrate itself is non-toxic, but after a period of storage, due to the role of enzymes and bacteria, nitrate is reduced to nitrite, nitrite is a toxic substance, it is in the human body and protein substances combined to generate strong carcinogenic nitrite substances. Nitrates in vegetables come from fertilizers. There is nothing wrong with fertilizing vegetables; the problem is that people tend to apply nitrogen fertilizers in large quantities and singularly, more than the plant needs, or before they have to be harvested. Since the plants don’t have time to use them all to synthesize nutrients, they have to stay in the vegetables as nitrates and become a hidden problem. Nitrate levels are higher in nutrient-rich leafy greens than in root, tomato and fruit vegetables. Storage of vegetables not only produces harmful substances, but also the loss of nutrients will occur. Tests have proved that when stored in a house at 30 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, almost all of the vitamin C in green leafy vegetables is lost, while the nitrite content rises dozens of times. Vegetables purchased in the market should be selected from the freshest ones, and wilted vegetables should not be purchased for the sake of cheapness. Fresh vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than 3 days. Do not eat any vegetables that have yellowed, wilted, waterlogged, or begun to rot.
