Is it good to eat fried rice frequently?
Many nutrition experts say that eating fried rice in the morning regularly can cause indigestion, bloating, and discomfort. Fried rice with a lot of oil is not good for people on a diet or those with digestive and gastrointestinal problems.
Not to mention that improperly using leftover cold rice from the previous day can be harmful to health, which many people are unaware of.
People who frequently eat at restaurants should choose to eat plain rice instead of fried rice. Because fried rice in restaurants may have a risk of food safety.
At eateries and restaurants, leftover rice and excess rice are often used to make fried rice. The practice of combining rice can cause the fresh rice to mix with the old rice that has gone bad, increasing the risk of food poisoning
Experts explain that when rice is left for a long time and not properly stored, toxins can be produced. Specifically, in the rice, there may contain spores of Bacillus cereus – a bacteria that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, these spores can still survive and be hazardous to humans, especially under prolonged storage and improper storage conditions.
The risk of disease is not only from leaving rice for a long time but also from using oil for frying rice. Many eateries save costs by reusing oil for frying rice multiple times for consumption. This type of oil is very dangerous and can produce cancer-causing substances when used to fry rice.
