Can dried peppers be eaten when they are moldy?
Dried peppers are moldy and can't be eaten. The reason why dried peppers are moldy and inedible is that they will produce a lot of aflatoxin, which is a carcinogen. Long-term consumption of moldy dried peppers will increase the risk of cancer. In addition, moldy food contains a lot of mold, which will lead to diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it will lead to dizziness and fever, which will have a serious impact on health. In order to ensure a healthy diet, you should not eat moldy dried peppers, but also avoid eating other moldy foods, such as fungus and mushrooms. When storing food, it should be kept in a dry, dark and low-temperature environment to avoid mildew.
