Can Xiaomi spicy food still be eaten if it doesn't spoil after 20 days

After being stored in a dry and ventilated environment for 20 days, if there is no mold or odor, it is usually edible. However, it is recommended to discard it if it becomes soft, sticky, or has abnormal color. The storage time of chili peppers is closely related to storage conditions. Fresh chili peppers are prone to dehydration and wrinkling at room temperature, and refrigeration can extend their shelf life.

The intact and undamaged millet chili can maintain a long period of time without spoilage in low temperature environments. Refrigeration in a refrigerator can inhibit microbial growth. If the chili skin is still smooth and tight, and there is no brown change inside after cutting, and the spiciness is not significantly reduced, it indicates that there has been no substantial deterioration. Dried millet chili has low moisture content and is difficult for bacteria to grow. It can still be consumed after being stored in a cool place for several months, but it should be sealed and moisture-proof to avoid insects. Pepper stored in humid environments is prone to mold growth, and the appearance of white fuzz or black spots on the surface indicates spoilage. Even high-temperature cooking cannot completely eliminate mycotoxins, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort after consumption. If the container of pickled chili is not tightly sealed or stained with raw water, it may experience swelling and sourness after 20 days. In the high temperature environment of summer, even if the appearance of chili peppers is intact, they may still produce odors due to internal fermentation. Long term storage of millet chili will gradually lose its nutritional value, and the content of vitamin C and capsaicin will significantly decrease. It is recommended to consume as soon as possible after purchase. For short-term storage, dry the surface moisture and wrap it in kitchen paper for refrigeration. For large storage, wash and dry it before freezing. Pay attention to changes in color and odor before consumption. If any abnormalities occur, stop eating immediately. People with gastrointestinal sensitivity should avoid eating chili peppers that have been stored for too long.
