6 Foods to Avoid in Monsoon

Seafood

Monsoon is breeding season for fish and other seafood, making them more susceptible to contamination. Avoiding or consuming them with caution is safer, ensuring they are fresh and properly cooked.

Raw Foods and Salads

Raw vegetables and salads can carry bacteria if not washed properly. You can just opt for cooked foods instead.

Cut Fruits

Pre-cut fruits sold by vendors can be exposed to contaminated water and bacteria. Always consume freshly cut fruits.

Dairy Products

Milk and other dairy products can spoil quickly in the humid weather. Ensure they are fresh and stored properly, or consider reducing their intake.

Mushrooms

The damp environment can promote the growth of fungi and bacteria on mushrooms. It's best to avoid them unless you know their freshness and quality.

Fermented Foods

Foods like dosa, idli, and certain pickles can lead to digestive problems during the monsoon. Consume them in moderation and ensure they are freshly prepared.
