Can dried yellow cabbage still be eaten after soaking for a long time

Dried yellow cabbage can be eaten if it has been soaked for a long time and has not spoiled, but it is recommended to discard it if it becomes sticky or has a strange smell. Dried yellow cauliflower is a dried product of goldenrod, and soaking for too long may lead to nutrient loss or microbial growth. Dried yellow cabbage has a dry texture and usually needs to be fully soaked before cooking. It is more suitable to control the soaking time in clean water at room temperature within 4 hours. At this time, the vegetable body fully absorbs water and recovers, and the vitamin B group and dietary fiber are retained. During the foaming process, water can be changed multiple times to reduce sulfide residue. After foaming, a light yellow color, flexible texture, and no odor are considered normal. If it is not consumed in a short period of time, it can be drained of water and refrigerated for 1-2 days. Soaking in high temperature environments for more than 8 hours in summer may cause spoilage, resulting in a slippery or sour odor on the surface of the dish, which is a signal of microbial proliferation. Some people mistakenly believe that boiling can kill bacteria, but some bacterial toxins are heat-resistant and may still cause gastrointestinal discomfort after consumption. Especially when the vegetable leaves are ulcerated and the water is turbid, it is not recommended to continue eating even if cooked at high temperatures.

When storing dried daylily, pay attention to sealing and moisture prevention, and avoid mixing it with easily allergenic ingredients such as seafood. After soaking, it is recommended to cook as soon as possible, and blanch for cold dishes. People with weak digestive function should control their consumption, and fresh yellow flowers containing colchicine should be thoroughly cooked. If vomiting and diarrhea occur due to ingestion of spoiled yellow cabbage, drinking diluted salt water to supplement electrolytes is recommended. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
