Follow-up – Ali Mualla:
Experts warn that it is a mistake to store potatoes in the refrigerator for a very good reason. It is that this type of vegetable contains a substance that in this case can lead to a change in its taste.
This substance is acrylamide, a chemical that usually appears in starchy foods when cooked above 120 degrees Celsius.
They pointed out that the chance of this happening increases as the pills are placed in the refrigerator.
This component is a research subject at the International Center for Cancer Research in France. Experts have classified it as one of the substances that can cause cancer, according to a recent study funded by the European Union.
That is why the researchers advocated the need to limit the intake of foods that contain this substance, especially French fries and potato chips.
They felt it was important to store potatoes well to prevent the appearance of this substance and pointed out that the best way to do this is to put the kernels in a place away from light and at a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius.
