How rice grows mold. How to deal with moldy rice

Because rice will produce mildew in a certain environment, it will produce "Aspergillus flavus" over time.

Do not eat moldy rice because of the aflatoxin in it.

One cannot be washed off, and the other cannot be removed by boiling at high temperature. Experts pointed out that although the consumption of moldy rice is not very toxic at one time, it will undoubtedly cause cancer when consumed for a long time.

If a small amount of rice is moldy and you are reluctant to throw it away, you can expose the moldy rice to the sun and pay attention to ventilation.

Place the dried rice and activated charcoal.

Put them together, wrap the activated charcoal in fine gauze and put them in the middle of the rice bag.

When cooking rice, wash it 3-4 times, and add an appropriate amount of salt when cooking rice to remove Aspergillus flavus.

Usually rice should be stored in an airtight container, and the rice should not be stored too much at a time to prevent mildew.

How long does it take for rice to become moldy in a humid environment depends on the quantity and weather.

The hotter the weather is faster, mildew will grow in 2-3 days, and the cooler the weather, the longer the time.

It generally won't mold in a dry environment, unless it's been left for too long... If you use rice at home, it is recommended not to put it in a bag, it will be easy to produce rice worms, find a clean big bottle, that is, cooking oil or large cola bottles, but you must wash it, and use a paper towel to dry the water, so that the rice will be stored for a long time, and it is not easy to have insects. However, this kind of plastic bottle should not be used for too long, it is best to replace it in about half a year, of course, if there is a large glass bottle than a plastic bottle, it is better!

If the rice is moldy, the following measures are recommended:1Throw away the moldy part:

Start by pouring out the moldy rice and carefully inspect it for mold spots. If only part of the rice is moldy, you can pick out the moldy part and throw it away, and the remaining rice can be used again. If there is a large amount of mold, it is recommended to throw it all away to avoid health effects.

2.Washing the rice: Place the rice in a sieve and rinse it with running water until the water is clear.

Then soak the rice for 30 minutes to 1 small Kai. 3.Dry rice:

Dry the soaked rice in a ventilated place and return it to an airtight container for preservation. 4.Pay attention to the storage environment:

Place the rice in a cool, dry, and ventilated place, avoiding humidity and high temperatures, to avoid mold growth. In short, if the rice is moldy, it should be treated in time to avoid health effects. For large quantities of moldy rice, it is best to throw it all away to avoid health problems after eating.

Pay attention to the storage environment and try to avoid moisture or too long storage time of rice.

Here's how to tell if the rice is moldy:

1. Rice mold first shows abnormal color and smell, which can be judged by the basic "smell, look, and touch". If you smell the peculiar smell of rice, this is a precursor to fever and mildew, and the peculiar smell of rice in the early stage of mildew is not obvious.

2. Tendon: The grooves on the side of the rice grain are white, and then they become gray-white, so they are called tendons, and the color of the rice is dark. Touching the rice due to the strong respiration of the rice and microorganisms, the local moisture condenses, and the rice grains are moist, which is called sweating, and its hardness decreases, and the scattering decreases, and it can form a clump when held by hand.

When the stored rice is eye-catching and tendon-proofing, the degree of rice mildew is more obvious.

3. Try to remove the skin layer before cooking, scrub it with water several times, pour off the floating matter and rice bran in the water, and reduce the content of mycotoxins in the rice. Once the mildew is severe, it is not edible.

What to do if the rice is moldy

1. You can't eat it.

Rice moldy wash can not eat, mold indicates that it has deteriorated, serious loss of nutrients, the production of aflatoxin, which is a harmful carcinogen, washing can not be removed, eating will cause damage to the human body, causing serious consequences.

2. Precautions.

Healthy rice has no peculiar smell and wormholes, the color is white, and the rice grains are intact, while the color of the rice that hides mold is gray and will clump when held by hand, and the rice should be stored in a dry place, which can be poured into a vacuum bag for preservation to prevent moisture and mold.

If you smell the peculiar smell of rice, this is a precursor to fever and mildew, and the peculiar smell of rice in the early stage of mildew is not obvious.

Look: You can see whether the rice is mildew from the following aspects, because the rice grains are wet, the bran powder adheres to the rice grains or the unmilled bran skin on the rice grains floats, and the rice grains appear rough and unclean. Because the embryo tissue of rice is looser, containing more protein and fat, the mold will erode first, making the embryo discolored, commonly known as eye-catching.

The grooves on the side and back of the rice grains are white, and then gray-white, so they are called tendons, and the color of the rice is dark.

Look at whether the embryo of the rice grain is discolored, if it is discolored or there are insects, it is already moldy. Three touches. If the rice is sticky to the touch and has moisture on the surface, it is a sign that the rice is moldy.

The question is that the rice sticks to your hands, right?

If the rice is just a little moldy, then you can wash and dry the rice and add vinegar to the rice to remove the musty smell.

Question: It should be okay to eat at this time, right?

Question: This rice is a little dark in the middle.

Don't eat it when it's dark.

Blackened rice is not edible, it contains aflatoxin, which is easy to cause cancer, and most of it is yellow and black.

The washed water is estimated to have a color.

1. Peculiar smell: Smell a peculiar smell, which is a sign of fever and mildew.

2. Hardness drops: due to the intense respiration of rice and microorganisms, part of the water condenses, and the rice grains are moist, which is called "sweating", and its hardness decreases, which is called "soft body bones", and the scattering is low, and it can be held into a clump.

3. Bright color: The water vapor on the surface of the rice grains is condensed, and the color of the rice grains is distinct.

4. Dechaff: Because the rice grains are moist, the chaff skin that adheres to the bran powder or the rice grains that have not been exhausted floats up, which is rough and not bright.

5. Eye-catching: The germ tissue of the ten rice is loose, containing egg self-quality and more fat, and the mold corrodes first, so that the embryo changes color, commonly known as "eye-catching".

6. Tendon: The grooves on the front and back of the rice grains are red, and then gray-red, so the luster of the rice is dark and dark.

Fresh storage: 1. Storage method with plastic bags: select a number of non-toxic plastic bags, set together every two for later use, put the dried rice into a double-layer bag, squeeze out the residual air in the bag after loading, and tie the bag mouth tightly with a rope to isolate the rice in the bag from the external environment and keep it fresh for a long time.

2. Bag and cylinder set, regular inverted storage method: when the high grade of good rice is dried, put it into the rice bag, tie the bag tightly, put it into the rice cylinder, and store the rice cylinder in a dry and ventilated place. Therefore, rice should be poured out of the bag every 10 days, ventilated, dehumidified, dissipated, and re-stored.
