Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In general, if you find mold in soft food, you should discard it. Soft food has a high moisture content, so mold can easily grow below its surface, which can be hard to detect. Bacteria can also grow along with it. It is easier to get rid of mold on hard foods, such as hard cheese.
Detailed explanation-2: -Firm fruits and vegetables with low moisture such as carrots, cabbage, and bell peppers can handle a little bit of mold. Molds have a harder time growing roots in dense foods, so if you cut off at least 1 inch around the spot of mold, you should be fine to eat your firm fruits and vegetables.
