For many years, hostesses have been offering guests to try salads seasoned with mayonnaise for various celebrations. Recently, however, many began to replace this sauce with sour cream, explaining this by the usefulness of a natural product. Will sour cream really soon take pride of place and will be used for dressing most salads?
Sour cream is a rather tasty fermented milk product that many people like. It is made from cream and special sourdough.
What is rich in sour cream
The main benefit of sour cream is the huge number of nutrients it contains. It is eaten by adding it to a plate and pouring it over the food contained there. Many consider it a separate dish. Enough 1-2 tablespoons a day to replenish the reserves of microminerals in the body.
Substances called "beauty vitamins" by nutritionists are found in large quantities in sour cream: vitamins of group B, biotin, E, D, C, PP and vitamin A. Among other things, the product contains iron, iodine, zinc, manganese, fluorine, copper, molybdenum, cobalt and many others. Lactic acid bacteria, in turn, have a positive effect on bowel function.
Mayonnaise composition
Mayonnaise, in turn, is a well-known sauce. It is usually used as a salad dressing, a marinade for meat dishes, an additive to semi-finished products. Classic mayonnaise is composed of olive oil, egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, sugar and mustard. It is worth noting that in small amounts, the ingredients can be beneficial to the body. But at the same time, it is worth taking into account the greater importance of the calorie content of the sauce. It can reach 800 kK per 100 grams of product.
Frequent consumption of mayonnaise leads to an increase in body weight, and in a fairly short time. Calorie content can be reduced by combining it with low-fat sour cream or light natural yogurt.
It has long been noted that industrial mayonnaise is similar to an emulsion. It is incomparable with homemade sauce. Many manufacturers add preservatives to mayonnaise, not very good quality butter, artificial egg substitute, dyes and stabilizers. This negatively affects the human body. Low calorie mayonnaise is not recommended because it contains water and emulsifiers that are not found in regular sauce.
Homemade mayonnaise can be the best salad dressing option. Thus, a person will protect himself from various thickeners and harmful substances.
Adding sour cream to vegetable dishes is recommended immediately before serving. This is due to the fact that the product quickly "cuts", that is, stimulates the release of a significant volume of liquid from the ingredients.
