Corn has a certain shelf life, and if it is not frozen properly, it may become moldy. Corn will produce a toxin called aflatoxin during freezing, which is harmful to health. Generally, there is mold on the surface of corn containing aflatoxin, because aflatoxin can only be produced under certain conditions.

Aflatoxin is bitter. If you put corn seeds in your mouth and feel bitter, it means that you may contain aflatoxin. At this time, spit out the seeds immediately and rinse your mouth with clear water.

Storage Period and Edible Precautions of Frozen Corn

Corn can be frozen for half a year. When corn is frozen, the thick skin of the outer layer of corn should be peeled off first, leaving only two or three layers of endothelium. Without cleaning, put it directly into a fresh-keeping bag or plastic bag and seal it in the freezer. When you want to eat, take out the corn without thawing, wash it, put it in a pot, pour in water, boil it over high fire, and cook it for about 10 minutes.

Deteriorated corn can cause cancer, and it is easy to be polluted by Aspergillus flavus, producing strong carcinogen aflatoxin, so corn should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, and moldy and deteriorated corn cannot be eaten.

From the health point of view, it is unscientific to eat corn alone. It is suggested to supplement some miscellaneous grains, especially corn, as an important food to maintain health, and try to eat fresh corn. Pay attention to chewing when eating corn to help digestion. People with diarrhea, bloating and gastrointestinal dysfunction should not eat more at one time.
