There are some peanuts in the house, which are slightly moldy. Is this still edible?

    If the peanuts are already moldy, they must be thrown away and cannot be eaten. Because this peanut contains aflatoxin, it is currently recognized as a strong carcinogen in the world, and it is easy to cause liver cancer and esophageal cancer. Some people think that toxic substances can be removed by washing several times or sterilizing at high temperature. In fact, once aflatoxin contaminates food, it is difficult to completely remove it.
