Znate li da špinat stajanjem postaje kancerogen? Špinat treba pojesti ODMAH nakon kuhanja i ostatak baciti. Pokušat ću naći kako se točno zove taj sastojak špinata koji postaje kancerogen... Davno sam čitala o tome.
"Kancerogen" je tako teška, a opet, tako popularna riječ.

"Reheating spinach leftovers may cause the formation of poisonous compounds by certain bacteria that thrive on prepared nitrate-rich foods, such as spinach and many other green vegetables. These bacteria can convert the nitrates into nitrites, which may be especially harmful to infants younger than six months. The nitrate-converting enzymes produced by the bacteria can convert even more at elevated temperatures during the second heating. For older children and adults, small concentrations of nitrites are harmless, although formation of nitrosamine compounds from the nitrites could be of concern for adults as well"
