Ice cream is the favorite dessert of children and many adults. This is especially true in the summer. How to choose the right ice cream, the most natural and tasty? What should you pay attention to?
1. Find on the package, although it can be difficult, the date of production and expiration date. In different types of ice cream, this parameter may differ, as well as the composition of the product. Unfortunately, the date of production does not matter if the ice cream was stored or transported incorrectly, and it is difficult to verify this. Sometimes irregularities can be identified by the appearance of the packaging.
2. Check the fat content of the ice cream – it’s good if there is more dairy than vegetable. Vegetable fat is a cheap substitute and is added to save production and add more flavors and preservatives.
3. The less additives in ice cream – colors and flavors, as well as preservatives, the better for your health. The ideal ice cream consists of milk, cream, sugar and vanilla, with the addition of natural berries and fruits. Such ice cream can be made by yourself, but in industrial production without chemical additives in any way. Just choose the lesser of evils.
After purchasing ice cream, check it at home. If it emits a thick milk foam during thawing, this is the predominance of milk fats. The watery structure indicates the presence of vegetable fats in the ice cream. Check out the ice cream you like so you can safely buy it during the summer.
Body tip
To minimize calories and unnaturalness, eat ice cream on a stick. A waffle cone or cone is an additional blow to your body.
