News India Live, Digital Desk: Often people keep the remaining rice of the night in the fridge and make fried rice by adding onion-tomatoes to the next morning. It seems delicious to eat, but is not a good option in terms of health. Let us understand what are the disadvantages of eating stale rice and eating it again.
Danger of food poisoning
In rice kept overnight, bacteria called Bacillus Ceres start to flourish. When these rice is heated and eaten, the risk of food poisoning increases. This can cause problems like stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
Negative effects fall on the intestines
The essential nutrients of rice are destroyed by reheat. Consuming rice without these nutrients causes difficulty in digestion, which affects the health of the intestines. This can also cause constipation.
Gas and flatulence problem
Consuming stale rice can weaken the digestive system. Due to this, the problem of stomach gas and flatulence increases. Especially people who have sensitive stomach have more problems with this.
The right way to eat rice
After cooking the rice, it should be eaten within 2 hours. After 2-3 hours of rice cools, the chances of bacteria flourish. Therefore, always make rice fresh and eat fresh.
Essential Tips:
- Always cook rice in small amounts so that it does not survive.
- Even if the rice survives, keep them in the fridge immediately and heat it properly before use next time.
- Avoid eating rice more than two days.
