Rumors: Overnight Tremella Soup is poisonous

There has been a rumor that overnight Tremella Soup should not be drunk because it will produce nitrites that are harmful to the human body.

Truth: Tremella itself does not have the conditions to produce nitrite.

There is a risk of tremella soup going bad if left overnight, and the same goes for other food soups. The idea that it is poisonous overnight is indeed alarmist.

Fresh vegetables will have a small amount of nitrite because the nitrogen in the soil and fertilizer is converted into nitrate under the action of soil nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nitrate-generating bacteria. After the vegetables absorb it from the soil, it is reduced by the reducing bacteria. Nitrite is generated under the action. Of course, these generated nitrites are trace amounts and will not cause harm to the human body.

Tremella fungus grows on sawdust or wood and has almost no contact with the soil and cannot absorb nitrates from it. In addition, Tremella fuciformis does not contain nitrate-reducing bacteria and cannot generate nitrite through this pathway.

Therefore, overnight white fungus soup will not harm human health as long as it is stored properly.
