Small science - How to effectively avoid mold harm diet safety?

1. Keep dry

Most molds grow particularly easily in humid environments, and we should store food in a dry, ventilated place.

2. Store at low temperature

Low temperature conditions can effectively inhibit the growth of mold, we should try to store food in low temperature conditions and eat as soon as possible.
