Sweets are a favorite treat for adults and children. The peculiarity of sweets is a large amount of sucrose in their composition, which determines their taste. Perhaps this is the only thing that unites all sweet dishes. But in order to choose a dessert that is appropriate in a particular situation (whether it be a delicacy for a person on a diet, or a sweet intended for a small child), you need to know the types of sweet dishes.
Hot and cold sweets
Sweet foods are hot and cold. Hot sweets are served at a temperature of about 60 ° C. These include puddings and hot puffed pies, sweet cereals, pancakes and pancakes, fruits baked in dough, soufflés, casseroles and so on.
Hot sweets are better absorbed than cold sweets. Therefore, they are not recommended for people who are on a diet. But they can feed children, as semolina with berries and fruits is a favorite delicacy of kids.
There are much more cold sweets. These are, first of all, fruits and berries in all types: fresh, canned, dry. And also: compotes, jelly, jelly, mousse, ice cream, sweets, cookies, cream and so on. These dishes are served at a temperature not exceeding 18 ° C.
Fresh berries and fruits
Fresh berries and fruits occupy a special group of sweets. Many of them are very useful as they contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals. At the same time, before using these sweets for food, it is necessary to obtain information about each specific fruit. So, when dieting, for example, as a rule, you can eat green apples, but red ones are not recommended, since they contain a greater amount of sucrose. And babies should be fed green, not red fruits. Berries and fruits should be included in the diet of children and adults throughout the year.
It is believed that one should not eat exotic fruits, but those that grow in their native area.
Only fully ripe fruits and berries can be eaten raw. They are sorted out, washed thoroughly with cold water, and the stalks are removed. Only after that is served to the table. For small children, the fruit is cut, seeds and seeds removed. Berries can be sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar. Strawberries, raspberries and strawberries are served with sour cream or cream.
Jellied sweets
Jellied sweets are all kinds of jellies, jelly, sambuca and mousse. For their preparation, gelatin, agar or starch are used. As a rule, potato starch is used - a transparent jelly is obtained from it, maize starch gives a cloudy color, therefore it is used only for making milk jelly. In large quantities, gelatin increases blood clotting, so it is not recommended to abuse gellied sweets.
Such sweet dishes are not stored for a long time, they must not be shaken or frozen, as liquid may separate, and the dish will lose its shape and taste.
This is not a complete list of sweets. But even from this list it is clear that from all the variety you can find a delicacy for any age and for every taste.
