11 foods should not be put in the freezer to avoid causing illness to the body
To preserve food longer, many people often put it in the freezer, but some types can spoil or lose quality.
 |
| Fresh milk: Fresh milk stored in the freezer can curdle when thawed, so this is not a good idea. If you want to cook with it, frozen milk will still be good when thawed, make sure to store it in the refrigerator for several hours, up to a day or longer depending on the material of the container. |
 |
| Potatoes: Potatoes have a high water content, so if you put them in the freezer, they will easily form ice crystals and become mushy after thawing. Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry place. |
 |
| Eggs in their shell: Liquids expand when frozen. Eggs are no exception. The egg white will harden, expand, and crack the outer shell. This can cause the egg to spoil and even cause odors in the freezer. |

| Fried foods: If you put these foods in the freezer, the crispy batter of the food will become soft, moist, and runny. Getty Images |
 |
| Cheese: This is a food that can keep its quality well when kept in the refrigerator, it does not need to be stored in the freezer. Even hard cheeses, if frozen, will become spongy and crumbly. If soft cheeses are put in the freezer, the moisture will destroy their smooth texture. |
 |
| Fruits and vegetables: With high water content, fruits and vegetables will freeze and not thaw easily. They will also be tough, soggy, and lose their original flavor. |
 |
| Defrosting food: If you take meat, bones or fish out of the refrigerator to cook but don't finish it, absolutely do not freeze the remaining part. The main reason is that defrosted food will change the structure and flavor of the food, making our food no longer delicious, and at the same time, the invasion of bacteria from the outside as well as bacteria existing in the food. |
 |
| Pasta: Many people recommend making dinner ahead of time and freezing it so that you can just reheat it later in the day and have a delicious dinner. This is a good idea, but you should not freeze pasta. The freezing process is bad for pasta and turns it into a slimy mush. |

| Yogurt: Like milk, freezing sour cream and yogurt can cause them to curdle and lose their flavor. |

| Rice: Freezing rice is never a good idea. It will become soft, mushy, and tasteless after thawing. (Photo: KT) |
