Spring is around the corner, which means the beginning of berry season. Berries can be a great source of potassium and vitamins C and K, and can also promote a healthy gut. While berries are among the healthiest foods to eat, if not stored properly, they can get mushy and grow mold. But a little bit of mold doesn't necessarily mean the whole batch goes to waste.
In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a pediatric infectious diseases expert, answers the question, "Does one bad berry spoil the whole bunch?"
"Molds are very common in our environment. And they tend to thrive in areas where there's a lot of moisture and organic material," says Dr. Rajapakse.
