Why is cheese mould unlike other mouldy foods, in that you can eat it and it’s even good for you?
In: 110
Cheesemakers are very careful to only allow molds into the cheese that aren’t harmful to humans. The leftovers you put in the back of the fridge weren’t given that same TLC. And it isn’t just cheese, we eat a lot of different molds. Mushrooms and molds are part of the same family and we eat lots of mushrooms. Some sausages use molds in their making (Salami). Fermentation commonly uses molds to ferment the food or beverage.
