Notes

Food Safety Tip: Histamines & Leftovers

Why keep it to a 3-day max? We’ve all been warned about classic food poisoning, but I actually just learned about a sneaky offender from a YouTuber: histamine buildup. The wild thing is, unlike bacteria that make food look sketchy, histamine builds up without any warning signs. Plus, nuking it in the microwave kills the bacteria, but it doesn't destroy the histamine. If you ever feel weird or bloated after eating older leftovers, this is probably why. It's definitely convinced me to finish my extras way faster.
