Foods you should never heat again

The hectic pace of our daily lives has led us to look for alternatives to save time when it comes to meeting our basic needs.

One of those needs, if not the most important, is food. Every three or four hours we get hungry or crave something. But we find it difficult to prepare what we’re going to eat from scratch, so we choose to quickly heat up what we’re going to eat.

A device that makes our lives easier when it comes to heating our food is the microwave. But what they probably haven’t told you is that there’s a latent danger when deciding to reheat certain types of food.

In this article, I’ll tell you which foods you shouldn’t heat again and the reasons why.

These foods are:
Processed meat
This food should also not be reheated, as some substances used to preserve it are not suitable for microwave cooking and can cause adverse health effects.

Beets

This food is rich in nitrates and cannot be reheated because the iron it contains oxidizes. Furthermore, vegetables reheated in a microwave lose their nutrients and can also become carcinogenic.

Hard-boiled eggs
The steam generated by the appliance can cause the food to explode.

Potatoes
They can produce Clostridium Botulinum, a bacteria that can cause botulism.
