Caviar and natural caviar snacks are considered a delicacy all over the world. And the point is not only in the refined taste and aesthetics of use, but also in the benefits of the product, its richness in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants. One of the rarest species is white caviar of valuable fish species.
Types of white caviar
Several types of delicacies are called white caviar. Real white caviar - caviar of albino belugas that live in the waters of the Caspian Sea. This product is incredibly expensive. White eggs with a golden sheen are packed in jars of pure gold. Thanks to this, 1 kg of such white caviar is estimated at 23 thousand dollars.
Also, white caviar is understood as the caviar of the so-called grape snails. This caviar is milky, somewhat larger than salmon. This type of caviar is quite popular in France, where it began to be produced in 1987. Its cost, of course, does not compare with the beluga, but you cannot call it cheap. The price for 100 grams of snail caviar is $ 100-160.
It can hardly be said that white caviar is by far the healthiest. In terms of its qualities, it is not inferior to either red or black caviar, but it does not surpass them either.
In addition, caviar of pollock, carp, pike, cod, capelin and other fish is referred to white caviar. Such caviar has a color ranging from white to amber. This is the cheaper caviar that can be found in any store. White caviar of this category can be served as a separate dish, and also play the role of an additive in various sauces and salads.
