Detailed explanation-2: -Food that has a high-water content will mold faster than others. This is because mold draws from the moisture content for growth. Fruits and berries, cucumbers, and bell peppers are all high-water content produce. These will mold before other foods in the refrigerator or on the counter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Molds tend to love dried fruits like apricots, raisins, dates, and figs among others. ⁵ Fruits naturally have a high moisture content so if they come into contact with mold spores while being prepped to dry, the spores can begin to grow and multiply.
