Question 1

Why should curd and sour substances not be kept in brass and copper vessels?

Answer

Curd and sour substances are acidic in nature, they react with metals present in brass and copper vessels and results in formation of soluble salts and hydrogen gas. These salts are poisonous in nature and make the food unfit for consumption.
