10 Foods You Should Never Eat As Leftovers

Mushrooms

Of all the foods on this list, mushrooms are definitely the most capable of making you physically ill. That’s because of how vulnerable mushrooms are to microorganisms.

When you eat cooked mushrooms, it’s best to eat them the minute you prepare them. But if you cooked more than just one or two dishes and you plan on eating them again the following day as leftovers, at least make sure you eat them cold from the refrigerator. It doesn’t sound very appealing, right?

I know, but reheating mushrooms can be very dangerous to your stomach, so instead of waking up with God-knows-what, eat them cold.

Beets

Beets are one of the healthiest and most delicious foods out there. And they’re not only extremely tasty, but they also have tons of nutritional benefits.

However, beets are in the same category as celery, spinach, and carrots when it comes to eating them as leftovers. They’re also rich in nitrates, and from here goes the same old story.

Your safer bet when it comes to beets is to cook only the amount you think you’re actually going to eat in one sitting. Or, if you feel comfortable and you like them like that, you can eat them cold, like on salads and such.
