Nutriciologist Anastasia shared useful information on Instagram about how and why mold forms on bread and how to avoid it.

The most dangerous bread can be any bread if it has mold on it!

The most common molds that develop on bread are green, ink (blue-green) and black mold. The most poisonous is yellow mold (Aspergillus flavus) and black rot - (Aspergillus fumigatus).

It is worth noting that yellow mold and black mold produces a strong mycotoxin, which is also called aflatoxin. Its encounter with the human body is undesirable and extremely dangerous - it causes severe lung damage and can even lead to death.

It is important to know that eating foods with mold can have serious health consequences. The microscopic fungi that appear on food release a special type of toxins - mycotoxins - during their growth. Some types of mycotoxins can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, any bread on which you see mold should be put in a bag and thrown away, never cut it.

The most common cause of mold on bread and food is improper storage!

"The cause of fungal colony activity is certain components in the composition of bread. And this does not mean that colored mold is chemistry. It all depends on what fungi are multiplying. Green color - you need yeast, sour-milk products, fruits. Cold it does not like, it multiplies only in warmth. Black - bread, fruits, vegetables. It multiplies in a moist environment. Pink - usually occurs on food scraps. For some reason, it's the most feared of all. It's unfounded. White - it's more of a wood borer. Breadbaskets, boards!", - said the nutritionist.

How to avoid mold on bread?

Even freezing is possible, there even the growth of mold slows down, but stale a little faster. And do not put the bread in the package under the sunlight. Moisture does not evaporate and creates very favorable conditions for the development of mold", - concluded the expert.
