It's another episode of the Curious Kids Club! In today's episode, we find out why food "goes bad" and what's really happening when milk sours, fruit turns brown, or bread grows mold. We explain how bacteria and mold eat food to get energy and help recycle nutrients back into nature... and why the foods that spoil fastest are often the healthiest for us!
