Bringing food is something that many office workers often do. If you don't eat out at noon every day, you can save time and have more rest. Also, because the food you bring is more hygienic than take-away, you can rest assured that you can eat it yourself. However, if you bring your own food, it is usually cooked in the morning. How can we keep food from spoiling, losing nutrients and eating healthier? The following small series will teach you.

Office workers take food attention:

It is not advisable to bring food with high oil content. Sichuan-style pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, patties and fried rice are best not to be brought, because these things are more likely to deteriorate and are not easy to keep fresh because of too much oil.

Staple food:

Bring rice, rice is the best staple food, and steamed bread, pies and other staple foods should not be brought into the box lunch.

Vegetarian:

It is not advisable to bring green leafy vegetables. Green leafy vegetables contain a lot of nitrate overnight. If heated or stored in the microwave oven for too long, vegetables will turn yellow and taste bad, and nitrate will be reduced to toxic nitrite by bacteria, which will cause cancer.

It is not appropriate to bring cold salad. The key is not to eat cold salad overnight. Cold salad is polluted during processing. Even if it is refrigerated, it is likely to deteriorate after one night. It is not advisable to put the cold salad overnight into the lunch box.
