2. Eat the fresh fruit, avoid long term storage.

We will buy a lot of fruits when we go to supermarket. We forgot the fruits have the storage time and need to enjoy them within the time.

Fruits will become moldy or rotten after being storage for a long time. People reluctant to discard them. Only the rotten parts that are visible to the naked eye are removed, the rest continue to be eaten.

The mold has actually penetrated deep into the fruit, the toxin has diffused through the fruit juice to the non-rotten parts.
