The variety of ice cream on the domestic market is very large, but not everyone can proudly bear the title of not only tasty, but also natural. Manufacturers often sin by adding chemical components, dyes and flavor enhancers to this dessert.
Label is important, but not attractive
When choosing ice cream delicacies, the consumer is often guided by the package he likes, forgetting to read at least any information on it about the purchased product. It is necessary to pay attention to what standard the ice cream is made by. If you see the GOST sign on the label, then everything is in order, and the dessert is natural. If there is a TU mark on the package, this means that the manufacturer chooses the recipe based on the technical conditions. And this, in turn, is a sign that he can use more than natural ingredients in his preparation. In the ice cream example, these ingredients are often vegetable oils such as palm oil. It does not contain such useful substances that are present in a natural delicacy, such as milk protein and calcium. In addition, such ice cream, in comparison with natural, is more high-calorie. Therefore, read the label carefully and look for the GOST badge.
Useful Supplements
If you are a lover of ice cream with fillings, choose natural additives: dried apricots, nuts, marmalade. They will benefit you more than additives such as caramel. It can harm your teeth and even cause caries, and it does not carry any useful properties in itself. Caramel is also much higher in calories than its counterparts. If you decide to choose ice cream with berries or fruits, give preference to local fruits, rather than exotic ones, since the taste of the latter is most likely achieved with the help of flavors, and there is little useful in them.
The key is in the title
If you follow your figure, but sometimes you cannot refuse a dairy treat, you should figure out what types of ice cream are divided into. The most nutritious representative is milk ice cream. It, in turn, is subdivided into low-fat (1-2%), classic (2.5-4%) and fat (4.5-6%). Obviously, there will be fewer calories per serving in a form where the percentage of fat is lower. Next in calorie content on the pedestal is ice cream. It is only classic (8-10%). And, finally, the most nutritious of natural ice cream is ice cream. There are classic (12-15%) and bold (up to 20%). Despite this, the ice cream firmly won the title of the most popular in our country among all types of ice cream.
Fruit ice
Many buyers, in pursuit of a slim figure, choose frozen juice instead of a dairy dessert. It really is the least high-calorie (about 0.5%), but you can not even dream of the beneficial properties of such ice cream. In Russia, freshly squeezed frozen juice is not produced at all, in contrast to foreign countries. At best, such a delicacy will be made from reconstituted fruit and berry puree, but most often it is just tinted water diluted with chemicals.
Enjoy a delicious dessert like ice cream wisely and get the most out of it.
