WHY?
Just like there are hundreds of thousands of types of mold that make a home alongside us in this world, there are many types of mold that can grow on food. Mold spores can land on fruits and vegetables being grown outdoors and begin to grow. Indoors, spores are also floating about and easily land on the food you are preparing and storing in your home.
