In our daily life, we found many evenly distributed black spots on the wonton skin. Most customers thought it was moldy because it had been left for too long, so they threw it away in fear! Not only that, but after placing the purchased fresh wonton skin in the fresh-keeping room of the refrigerator for a few hours, there will be such small black spots at a closer look, and it will be more obvious if it is placed for more than 1.2 hours! So are these little black spots moldy? Can you eat this kind of wonton skin with small black spots?

At present, the wonton skin in most areas of China is added with edible alkali. Adding edible alkali can not only neutralize the acidity of the dough, but also extend the shelf life of the wonton skin. Of course, the most important thing is that the edible alkali can make the thin wonton skin stronger, not easy to boil and enhance the taste. However, the wonton skin (wet noodles) added with edible alkali will "run alkali", in other words, the edible alkali added to flour will slowly fail, and the temperature will be higher in summer, so the "run alkali" will be faster. Even if you put it in the refrigerator when you buy it, it will also go through high-temperature "washing" from production to putting it in the refrigerator. Putting it in the refrigerator can delay this phenomenon but can't stop it!

The phenomenon of "alkali escaping" from wonton skin will produce small black spots, and the density and quantity of small black spots are determined by the dosage of alkali. Wonton skin with black spots is safe to eat. Although it is not as good as fresh taste, it does not affect health, so it is a pity to throw it away. After all, it is food! However, in one case, the wonton skin with small black spots is inedible. Generally speaking, the wonton skin with alkali will be light blue yellow. If you find that your wonton skin is completely white and the small black spots on it are particularly obvious and smell an unpleasant sour taste, then the wonton skin must have gone bad. It is recommended to throw it away!

If you still feel uneasy, or are afraid to see black spots, Brother Noodle suggests that you buy wonton skin directly, wrap it with stuffing immediately, and put it in the quick-freezing room of the refrigerator for long-term preservation, and don't worry about the problem of black spots!
