Why do crumbs left in jars and spreads from toast not go moldy, while bread will go moldy by itself in a few days?
In: Chemistry
Most spreads are *loaded* with sugar, and preservatives. Mold and bacteria have a hard time dealing with high concentrations of sugar, it’s a natural preservative. Add some artificial preservative to that and it’ll take a lot for it to go bad. If you immerse a breadcrumb into this, it’ll absorb these preservatives.
