The right choice of products for the baby is important for every mother. Marmalade, in particular, is presented in a large assortment on the modern market. How to choose it correctly?
Always buy marmalade that comes in transparent packaging. This way you will be able to see its contents. High-quality sweets keep their shape well and are distinguished by clear contours. Try to apply pressure to the product. It must quickly return to its original shape. Size matters too. It should be the same for all marmalade slices.
If you see that the packaging with marmalade is fogged up, it is better not to buy such products. Moisture droplets indicate a violation of technological processes, as well as the rules for storing goods. There is no more favorable environment for the spread of pathogenic bacteria than moisture. If it is noticeable that the sugar on the surface of the products has melted, this indicates that the moisture was previously inside the package, but has been absorbed over time.
You should also avoid such marmalade, which has a too saturated shade. This indicates the presence of artificial colors used during the manufacture of products.
There is an alternative in the form of natural dyes. However, they do not add too much color to the sweets. If you see a soft marmalade, it means lutein is used in it. This dye is of natural origin. For this reason, it is absolutely safe for health. We must not forget that artificial colors can cause severe allergies. When in doubt, just read the information on the package.
High quality marmalade is characterized by a glassy structure. It is transparent. Several layers can be distinguished in it. One of them is located on the surface, while the other is located in the middle. Even the crust should not be made from artificial ingredients. Of course, such sweets have a high degree of firmness. They can be chewed for a long time, but there is little useful in them.
Most of all can tell the marmalade, which is sold in bulk. Try to pick up a single piece. Can you feel granulated sugar on your toes? So, before you is fresh marmalade. If it sticks to them, it is better not to buy such a product. If the seller claims that the marmalade is fresh, but you notice that it crumbles or has a too dense structure, this may indicate a violation of the storage conditions of the product.
