How to choose quality and natural sour cream

Sour cream is a delicious dairy product that is a great addition to many dishes, for example, we can't imagine delicious borscht without sour cream, or flavorful pancakes and dumplings without it. But it is not always possible to buy a good, natural, high-quality product in stores and markets.

Expert Olha Shuliak told us on the air of "Rules to Live" how to choose delicious, natural sour cream in the store and how to distinguish it from a fake.

What to look for in the first place:

1. Expiration date

This is the first thing you should pay attention to when choosing sour cream. Remember, natural sour cream cannot be stored for more than two weeks.

2. Ingredients

Good sour cream should be white without grains and bitterness

Natural sour cream consists only of sourdough starter and milk cream.

3. Color

Sour cream should be white glossy color with a slight creamy tint, without yellowness.

4. Taste

The taste of good sour cream should be fermented milk, without bitterness and unnecessary uncharacteristic flavors.

5. Structure

Natural sour cream cannot be gray and should not flake

It should be homogeneous, without any grains. It is also important that it is homogeneous and does not flake, as this indicates that it has been frozen.

6. Packaging

It should be intact, without any dents or damage.

It is worth noting that natural sour cream is very beneficial for the body, it can normalize metabolic processes in the body, stimulate brain activity, improve muscle function, and increase efficiency.

Natural sour cream is very healthy

But you shouldn't get too carried away with this delicious product, as it is fatty and in case of regular uncontrolled consumption can put a heavy load on the liver and gallbladder.
