Dairy products are extremely beneficial for our body. One of the well-known and frequently used dairy products by us is sour cream, but unscrupulous manufacturers are able to produce such a product that will not only be useless, but also damage. Let's figure out what you need to pay attention to in order to choose a good sour cream …
Sour cream is an excellent sauce for second courses; it decorates many soups, and is also extremely appropriate in desserts. However, the wrongly chosen sour cream will ruin the dish and damage your health.
Today, those who have their own cows, or those who know a reliable farmer who produce quality dairy products, are most lucky with sour cream. They can be sure that there are no foreign impurities in sour cream that would make the product cheaper and harm health. But most of us, especially in big cities, have to visit supermarkets in search of the food we need.
To choose a good sour cream, first you need to carefully read everything that is indicated on the package. The product should be called sour cream, and not sour cream, sour cream or the like. The composition should not contain any preservatives, as well as vegetable oils (words can also be found - milk fat substitute, palm oil, coconut oil, etc.), flavors, dyes, thickeners (starch, carrageenan, etc.). Natural sour cream is made exclusively from milk and a special sourdough culture. Even powdered milk should not be used in the production of high-quality sour cream! I should also alert the long shelf life (more than two weeks). Of course, the packaging should not be bloated.
Do not relax even after you paid for the purchase and opened the sour cream package at home. Before using sour cream, check that there is no smell of vegetable oil unusual for this product, the mass should be homogeneous with a characteristic delicate smell of cream. The surface of the sour cream in the jar should be glossy.
Note! The best, real, high-quality sour cream is made according to GOST, not TU.
