- Of course it is. Now stop listening to scaremongers and enjoy your leftovers, and use this short video to explain why it is (also convenient for sharing with Great-Indian-Kitchen type uncles who want fresh food 3 times a day)

The irony: Those who demand freshly made food often don't cook themselves.
Exactly
Does it makes a difference even if I can afford a cook, does stored and re heated food taste different? @@krishashok
@@arvind1120 It does taste different but whether that is good or bad depends on the food + yourself. For a lot of different curries (thai curries and indian sambar style dishes) the taste actually intensifies when you leave it in the fridge for a day (similar to marinating meat or paneer). It may lose some heat, so I will taste and add some chili powder/salt or green chilies as needed.
Other foods, especially fried food, taste best when hot and fresh. They will typically become soggy or lose the crisp texture within hours. So you may not want to store them, doesn't matter outside or in the fridge. Sometimes you can reheat them in a convection oven to bring back the crispness. It's worked for pizza, bread, nuts, etc for me. But it still doesn't lose whatever nutrients it had when you made it.
The bottom line is that storing and re-heating food is not inherently BAD at least in respect to losing nutrients. Home cooked food, even after few days in the fridge, is just as nutritious when reheated. And definitely better than 'fresh' takeout!
All Sadhguru fans and BM Hegde fans may get angry with this scientific fact 🤪
lol boss they have armies of cooks making fresh food 3 times a day for them
Who the hck us BMHegde ? Lol even fit tuber , Rajiv dixit fans may get angry to this
Satvic movement gang too😅
@@krishashok , true . they say it like a general rule, that's where problem arises
@@krishashoksee, pls dont mix the privilige of cooking fresh meal every time with whats healthier,its a global platform and its better to answer what's healthier and not who can afford fresh meals every time
Krish sir, since the day I started following you, my food anxiety has reduced so much!😅
Yay
I absolutely love this guy and thank you for debunking all so-called gurus. I just moved to Europe and it amazed me how much we Indians have been brainwashed on Ayurveda stuff which in reality is far away from what is getting preached.
Indeed
I've tried to explain this to older aunties in India. But the propoganda machine is quite strong on this one 😢 I moved to the US as an adult in 2012 but my mom was relying on the fridge since the 90s and the microwave since about 2004. Over the years the number of people who tell her it's bad for you has only INCREASED. I've since told her not to believe anything that appears on Whatsapp or Facebook, or whoever says they read it on there.
What I've discovered since moving here is a strong love for the freezer 😂 especially after the pandemic. Not to store processed food (cuz that shit ain't ever good, generally) but to make batches of food in advance, freeze chutney cubes, stock, sweets, homemade tamarind paste, green chili paste.. The list goes on. The fridge maybe empty one day but my freezer will always be full!
We badly need to replace our obedience to authority with critical reasoning classes ASAP.
Not to forget all the types of bread I can freeze! The best way to store leftover bread, especially since it's just 2 people in the house. It's either keep it in the freezer or eat a dozen croissants in 2 days 😂
Indeed
Your last sentence made my day! Going to use it forever :D
Is this also good to freeze ginger garlic paste as icecube and put them directly on pot while cooking?
@@user-zw1im3qe2e yes, excellent idea
Great video once again.👍
Good work. Keep debunking such myths.
Thanks, will do!
My parents, (Dad is 89 touch wood)regularly make food for 3 or 4 days. Carefully portions into smaller dabbas - dates them and stores them in the fridge and freezer to consume over the week. This gives them enough time to peruse the newspaper😀, do their favourite crosswords, watch the sunset or take walks - rather than repeatedly making minuscule amounts of food and slaving more than 3 hours in the kitchen. And they have been doing this for more than 3 decades. A good refrigerator and careful packaging helps. And there is no shortage of variety of home-cooked meals in their refrigerator for when the odd guest drops by. 🙂
Perfect!!
Well said sir !
I have tried explaining this to others... Portion control is much more important for healthy living!
Scientists and Doctors in the 1920-30s when they couldn't find a link between cancer and smoking, declared smoking safe and healthy for around 3 decades! Said it's a myth. But we know now how healthy cigarettes are.
Similarly they will come back to the roots when the technology advances and they find the link.
Most Indian foods are cooked in oils, whether its daal, sabzi, etc.
When reheated, they are seriously bad for you.
Well said, influencers say food loses prana & people lose their peace.at fridge temp microbial & enzyme activity slow down.
Yeah
Rajma and chole from previous day have an enhanced taste compared to when it is fresh out of stove.
Yes
Can you make a video about using yeast fermenting batter? Theres a lot of convo about yeast being bad for your health.. does yeast fermentation reduces glucose?
Excellent video - factual, concise, to-the-point!!
All NRIs (temporary/permanent bachelors) also suddenly start storing leftovers in the fridge after realizing the work involved in making fresh food each time.
Yep
Hi,
Shoul palak and paneer not be consumed together because the calcium in paneer inhibits absorption of iron in palak in dishes where they are consumed together? Can you pls explain this sir
Forget about losing prana.Whether prana is at all there in fresh food or that prana stays in cooked food in the first three hours? afterall food is just combination of chemicals ,fats,starches etc.Where is Prana according to modern science? It is a myth.there is no prana at all.If at all science say food has prana,how is prana defined?
There can be a lot of debates on this topic. I am neither defending ayurveda nor modern science. There is no competition between the two since we are not running a race and are looking for genuine things and concepts for our health. But to answer your question what prana is how is it defined ? Let me tell you that not everything can be proven with a particular definition and evidence. Actually it's not our fault that we have been brainwashed in searching for evidence. Certain things in life should be applied according to the circumstances. For instance how do you define soul? Does soul exist? Has anybody ever seen it? Why can't we see it in Xrays and MRI's ? Again highlighting that I am a science student and not any ayurvedic practitioner . I follow dr pal , dr ryan and especially the health enthusiast under whose video I am commenting but I also follow satvic movement and a lot of other ayurvedic practitioners . So the point that I am trying to strike at is :- Don't follow one thing and boycott the other. Both the world of science and ayurveda has so much to offer to mankind and being against one will deprive you of the benefits of the one world. Don't ask what is prana . Eat fresh cooked food everytime for a month or so and then eat leftover food for the same amount of time and see whether there's a difference in your energy levels or any criteria for that matter . If there's a difference then you will know what prana is and if you don't see any difference then you have also got your answer. It differs from individual to individual . I definitely understand you but please try to understand this as well. Maybe prana is something that has benefitted a ton of people who understood the assignment . I hope you understand . I am in no way against anyone . This was my opinion and the rest is up to you. Thank you.
@@geetanjlisharma4203wonderful explanation!
@@geetanjlisharma4203Madam thank you for your response. Packaged food/refrigerated food is stale food.But maximum population on earth consume.They have the same health issues as others who consume so called pranic food.Example jaggi vasudev and many others who run asrams and live in Asrams.
@@vissapragadasatyanarayana2750 We both have an opinion and disagreeing on one is completely fine. Thank you for being kind.
@@geetanjlisharma4203 ok.
Storing food in the fridge is acceptable, but some people leave it in open containers and the moment you open the fridge a whiff of the food hits your nose. And obviously it is not a safe way to store
Of course there is a right and wrong way to do it
Can you tell us why it is not safe to store in open containers?
@@yenaremadun7184 obviously to avoid germs from coming in contact and also to avoid smells of all kinds inside the fridge. Also.. Smell of strong masalas and gravies
will affect the taste and smell of curd, milk etc if all are kept open
@@DV-1972 how will germs come in contact with the food inside the fridge?
I get your point that the taste and smell will be ruined but I'm asking in terms of safety.
@@yenaremadun7184 germs are present everywhere... even Inside the fridge. And we also open and shut it a hundred times a day. So air borne germs do settle inside also
please post this video in tamil channel. badly wanna post in family group.

Its not about whether eating left over food is right or not. Its a simple fact that food once cooked will spoil with time. You are just extending its shelf life by refrigerating it. Even if you do that, it will spoil but not at the rate at which it will if left open.
You are addressing a convenience scenario. But there is a holistic and an alternate way of looking at it.
agree... moderation is the key
I totally agree. These are more complex and interconnected topics. Can't draw 1 liner conclusions
Overall I found it misleading. Viewers should take this opinion with a pinch of salt
This guy mostly manufactures a load of imaginary topics to talk about and then says so called traditional experts are bashing 'food science'. Cites some high flying words to look smart, but most of the stuff he says is doubtful.
Just don't imagine him eating rice that's 6 months old. Won't b surprised to see him endorse a refrigerator next just like his friend who has recently endorsed a sugary whey protein supplement
Can you explain what you mean by holistic and alternate way of looking at it
He is not recommending to keep the rice in the refrigerator for 6 months and eat it. It's a reply to satvic bulls** which says food loses prana 4 hours after cooking
Food always tastes better the next day (maybe food develops new flavour molecules)....left over is yum!!!!!
Yes
Not just safe but in some cases tastier (and healthier).
Indeed
All food is dead...! *** Drops the mic and shuts all mouths *** 😂
We should be seriously worried if it’s alive 😂 (unless it’s friendly bacteria)
Simple explanation.
But one thing, most of the people in India especially the generation of our parents tells us not to eat food that is kept in the fridge for a long time. I think there are many cases of people having stomach upset from consuming refrigerated food which has been kept for a long time. But I don't think it has to do with microbes, right ?
If it upsets your stomach, don’t eat. It’s all individual
There can be cases of foodborne illnesses if refrigerated food is NOT REHEATED properly. Microorganisms like Listeria Monocytogenes which cause foodborne illness, remain viable at refrigerated temperatures. Thus, storing left-over food in refrigerators within two hours of prep and reheating before consuming again is important.
@@krishashok this is interesting . You seem to dodge every logical question. Please answer his question. Why does he get stomach upset by eating refrigerated food. It's microbes or not.
@@krishashok what individual ? Is it hypersensitivity or there is possibility of microbial contamintion in the fridge as well ? Don't cheeses go bad in fridge.
Love your content as usual.
Can you please make a video on carbs i.e. how much is too much and what ratio of carbs should we eat compared to fats and proteins.
The more i ask the more the confusion so a detailed video would be great 🙏
According to studies, if the amount of protein and calories is fixed, macronutrient ratios does not matter. I personally go for an equal split between carbs, Protein and fat. Follow Dr Layne Norton for more information.
i know beggars who eat leftovers are more healthy than me,...infact the beggars association president travels by mercedes,...!
how do we as Indians reduce carb consumption?
The only time I eat refrigerated food is qhen I have leftovers. Unfortumately happens 50 percent of the time, overall.
1:08 Why'd Akshay Kumar show up when you uttered 'NRI'?! He's 💯Bhartiya! 🤭
1:04 Are you sure about what you wrote...
I think it should be, ***ORDERED FRESH FOODS HAS 3 TIMES (APPROX) MORE CALORIES THAN LEFTOVER HOME COOKED FOODS*
Good catch
On average yes - on the basis of how much fats go into restaurant food (I have written a book called Masala Lab, so I’ve done a fair amount of research). For sure, there are restaurants that use oils in moderation but those are rare
Yes... It's was just a misprint ..
@@krishashok They mean that the text in the video says the reverse of what you narrate over it. It says "Leftover food has more calories..."
Thanks. I feel better now for preparing food in advance. I have neither the time or the energy to cook everyday.
Ohh how did I missed this channel...
Your are amazing..
Most of the myths are clearly addressed...
Thanks Kirsh... I instantly subscribed after watching this...😊
Thank you
Moreover I don’t get good vegetarian food outside.So why waste petrol and time.Stay home , cook fresh food or eat leftover food
Left over soups, curries & salads typically taste better the next day anyway.
We have eaten leftovers all our lives.
Our lunch at work is always leftovers -yum!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for debunking this. so many have made me a villian for using leftover food
this consume immediately rule is from the pre-fridge era
Actually you become my food & nutritionist teacher, and I’m become A+ student with your knowledge 😂 I am started educating other fellas
So nice of you
😂😂😂 I am confused who should I believe 😂😂😂😂
Americans eating leftovers are healthy, not a problem, how's that good if taken into account the climatic differentials between us?
The climate difference is outside. Not in the fridge
@Krish - can you make a video on the history of Hakka Indian cuisine and give it the Masala Lab analysis.
Will do
But does it have to be kept in container's like tupper ware or any container we can store
Any airtight container
Ordering "fresh" food from the restaurant? How do you know it's fresh or reheated?? 😂
Well, all the more reason to store stuff in your fridge then
I love you, man.
Thank you
I'm a working woman and i eat homemade food 3times(almost all weekdays) because i do whole week meal prep on weekends. If storing food in fridge is considered as poisonous, i should eat outside food everyday 😂
❤❤❤ I like how easy to explain science behind food!
I have a question:-
We eat type of fermented plant leaves, they usually ferment it for 45 days to 60 , they just mince it cram it in a clay jar, when they get it out to dry it, it has very unpleasant smell that follows it even into dish, I know it’s a primitive way to do it, what you suggest adding in order to eliminate that stink? “ smell is like million wet towels or worse dirty socks”
Thank you
Sir, can you pls talk about effect of goitrogenic foods on thyroid? There is so much in the internet that people with hypothyroid should avoid or consume less of millets, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, radish, soya products, etc. Is this true?
Can you please tell us about Skyr milkymist high protein yogurt. They claim it provides 11g protein per 100 ml. Can it be true?
Hi, krish . I have been try to crack the green chutney recepie used by the sandwich makers in sowcarpet chennai area. Whenever i try to make it , it smells like Grass and kinda tastes like it. Its nowhere close to their taste. Any chnace you could reverse engineer the recepie for us.
And also explain the scoence behind it.
Thank you
Eat> left over? try to refrigerate quickly - if you dont - Staph enterotoxin released on your food, so re-heating later might do some benifit
and hope your refrigerator doesnt have Listeria(grows at 4 Celsius)
Thank you for sharing this.I am in US.I always feel it’s better to eat left over dal and curries rather than eating out.
No bro You forgot to important ingredient called ' Prana ' in food .
Which goes away in ' Certain way ' to another ' Dimension ' 😂😂😂
What I don't understand is what does Denzel Dumfries has to do with food preservation methods?
at last watching 👀 a sensible not feel guilty video
(do not eat food with left hand please make a video on this topic)
Forwarding this to my wife immediately who claims left over rice and dal are disease causing.
people just need one validation for feeling guilt free for their every action. Yes life must be guilt free but at the same time with absolute sensitivity to see how body is responding after every input.
Can you please make a video about microwave.. is it safe to use or not !!
th-cam.com/video/Pwe1HYuwS0I/w-d-xo.html
Non gmo and organic wheat roti can be leftover and beneficial as long as we didn't left it and kept it for too long
I love leftover pulissery(curd dish in south India). It enhances the flavor
I wish this video was in tamil to show it to my mom that its okay to eat left over food. But i will share this video to her though
I think your slide says LEFT OVER FOOD HAS 3 TIMES MORE CALORIES. You may need to correct it.
Yes, will do!
Sir can you make a video about CILANTRO and CULANTRO. (Dhaniya and thai dhaniya) which one is better or is there any difference between them?
Please🙏
They are different herbs with different flavours. That’s all. No such thing as better or worse
Supernga
Fresh food is about Pran Urja and that progressively deteriorates with time. In India in ancient times the educated gave the concept to the masses but not the reason - perhaps the masses were too simple to grasp logic. Now only the loosely handing concept is left and the rational that was known to select few is lost and hence becomes an easier knock-off.
Even my grandmother makes twice. 😂
They don’t hv time to make food three times with a dozen kids😂
In my moms granny’s home afternoon food is only served for dinner. Widows and toothless grannies and grandpas get idly or dosa.
This cook 3X is nee she bullshit😂
Raw veggies 🥦🥕🌽 vs bouled once which one has more nutrients and best for health?
Best to do mostly cooked and some raw. Dont think of food in terms of maximising nutrients from every single ingredient
@@krishashok oh thank you sir and what about rice which is best method to cook rice to avoid gas/indigestion?
Sir
Pls can u speak about oil bath dos donts
Pl share your thoughts on ro water vs non ro water
Really really nice and comprehensive and bold(honest)
Thank you for this very important video
🙏 thank you
Welcome!
Such clarity 😊...too good... guilt free😀
What about the use of plastics for storing them? Is that not unhealthy? What alternatives can we consider - glass or steel?
Use whatever you want
I think there’s a mistake in the video about the fact that “left over food has 3 times more calories than ordered food”. I think it should be the other way round
Ah! My bad. I meant to say restaurant food has 2-3x calories
I like taste of leftover food.
Sir, please stop using ghee( 1:29 ) when having a negative connotation, I hate your voice popping up in my head while buttering up my roti with ghee. 😂😂
That is why I follow you . Otherwise there are so many people out there who know how to scare
Thank you
I think he is the biggest scaremongerer around. There is nothing wrong in advocating for freshly cooked fruits and veggies. I don't think he eats 6 months old rice from the fridge.
@@seemaray1996freshly cooked 3 times is an exaggeration to keep women in kitchen. Even my grandmother doesn’t cook 3 times.
What’s made for lunch is eaten for dinner also.
Only, if at all rice is made hot. Otherwise everything from afternoon.
@@lakshmikrithika2521 evidently u are not a guarantor for all the women in the country. More importantly what u have in the country is neither the national average not the national ideal. So stop believing in crazy headlines by this clickbait influencer.
@@seemaray1996 no but misogynist men are a national standard that insist on fresh roti straight from the fire.
Piping hot sabzi and all.
Uska toh statistic haina?
Reheating food depletes it of vit b1, this in turn brings down ur overall health leading to GERD,nausea,fatigue,poor absorption of fat and other vitamins
Cooking food by itself depletes a lot of water soluble vitamins, so that is why we add some salads/fruits to our diet. Reheating doesn't do anything different. Just add fruits/salads/limes
@@krishashok ohkay, but there are some ppl & households who reheat the same food upto 3-4 times, it definitely kills the nutrition in the food. So i think its best avoided to reheat food more than once.
Thank you....😅
Sir if i make dal, chicken,egg curry,roti,rice etc and keep in room temperature how long it can consumable ??
Hard to say. Depends on where you live, local climate etc
@@krishashok live in Hyderabad, India,temp is 37-40
Wow!😮

Thankyou so much .
In one video you mentioned “reheating of food will make it toxic”. What is correct then ?
Don’t recall when I said that.
@@krishashok , sorry, my bad. You mentioned “nutrients will be lost when we re heat”

By the way, really consuming fresh meal every time takes toll. I appreciate your effort in educating people about food.
Thanks
👌👌👌
Sir your videos on food, labeling science of blah blah, can be very dangerous. Recently a girl died of eating synthetic sweetner as i can observe you talking about everything is ok even talking too much against what's written in our Ayurveda which i believe was not written from mind , it was purely a wisdom flowing through higher states of the being Patanjali.. with all due respect just sharing to rethink how much you really need to share ur understanding about the food
Well, carbs aren't the problem alone, everything needs to be taken in moderation of a balanced diet. 😊
Refrigeration time depends on type of food too + cleanliness of refrigerator. 😉
It's good listening to you.
absolutely .. its what , stored how, and how long.. all matters
Hi Krishna, love your videos so far. I was waiting for your next video to drop to grab your attention.
Could you pls do a video on the facts and myths about "virudha ahararam"?
Stop brainwashing please.
Or maybe….just maybe you’re hrainwashed😂
carbohydrates are not a problem, because fiber is a carbohydrate.
also animal-derived food spoils quicker, because animals contain almost no antioxidants
