In today's article I will tell you how to recognize high-quality, and most importantly, real sour cream on a store shelf. The idea for this article came to my mind a few weeks ago when I bought sour cream in a store, but I and my household did not like it. Having carefully studied the composition, I realized that this is not sour cream, but a sour cream product. Having studied this issue, I began to follow a few simple tips and now stopped buying sour cream and other harmful analogs of sour cream.
First of all, carefully read the composition on the package - real sour cream is made only from cream and sourdough, if vegetable fats are present in the composition, this is at least a sour cream product, but not real sour cream. High-quality sour cream should not be subjected to high-temperature processing, that is, it should not be pasteurized or sterilized. Its shelf life cannot exceed 14 days. If sour cream is thermized, then there are no living microorganisms in it and it will be a sour cream product. Also, don't forget
pay attention to the integrity of the packaging, sour cream in a plastic cup should be slightly squeezed, if there are traces on the plastic, it is better not to take such a product.You can easily determine if sour cream is real with a simple experiment. Put a spoonful of dairy product in a glass of warm water and stir - real sour cream must completely dissolve in water. A sour cream product will not dissolve and will float in lumps, it will also have a grayish color and a thicker mass compared to high-quality sour cream. The result of the experiment is in the photo. Of course, this experiment cannot be carried out in a store, but having tested the sour cream once bought in this way, you can buy it in the future and do not waste time on other checks at the store shelf.
