How to choose the right ice cream: 5 invaluable tips
Who doesn't love delicious, flavorful, cooling ice cream, especially in the summer. However, not everyone knows exactly how to choose a quality product so that it not only tastes good but is also safe.
The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you how to avoid buying unhealthy ice cream with chemical fillers and dyes, palm oil, and dangerous fats.
What to look for in the first place:
1. Expiration date
First of all, pay attention to the product's expiration date to avoid buying ice cream that has already gone bad. Of course, it is better to buy the freshest product.
2. Fats and palm oil
Fat should be in ice cream of dairy origin, not vegetable – they are harmful. It is also important to choose a product without palm oil, as it is very harmful, slows down metabolism, and promotes the formation of adipose tissue and cholesterol plaques.
3. Waffle cup
It turned out that this is a very insidious thing – a cup of waffle, because, firstly, it is very high in calories, and secondly, it contains a lot of preservatives and dyes.
It is better to take ice cream in a briquette.
4. Ingredients
Be sure to make sure that the composition contains nothing but milk, sugar, vanilla, and cream. Only then is it a high-quality, good product.
5. Conduct an experiment
You can easily check the quality of ice cream at home. Just leave it to melt, and if an airy white foam appears, it means that it does contain milk fat and is more or less safe. And if you see cloudy, sweet water, it means it contains vegetable fats, and they are harmful.
