Answer:

Pickles and curd are not stored in brass and copper utensils because when they are kept in copper or brass utensils, curd or pickle reacts with copper and brass. This reaction will initiate formation of toxic compounds (Toxic Salts) which may be unfit for human consumption, and may cause food poisoning.

hope this will help you

  • Organic acids, which are weak acids, are found in pickles and sour things.
  • These acids will generate salts when they react with the metal in the vessels.
  • The salts that produce are toxic, posing a health risk. Curd and other sour foods should not be kept in brass or copper pots.
  • Pickles and curd should not be stored in copper or brass utensils because the curd or pickle interacts with the copper and brass.
  • This interaction will result in the creation of hazardous chemicals (Toxic Salts), which are potentially harmful to human health and can induce food poisoning.
