Eco-products— how to choose the best on the market Bashny.Net

How to choose at the farmers market meat, poultry and milk. So, you have come to the market. First and foremost, pay attention to the appearance of the man selling meat, milk, eggs. The seller offers its own product, it is easy to distinguish from the mercenary: he needs to know about your product absolutely everything, until the day of birth of the cow.





Meat

The seller should know where it is, like who produced it, how much time they spent, until we reached the market. If you press on a piece of meat with your finger and the dent is not aligned — so the meat is stale. If it is very red, then they added growth hormone and other hormones. Too fibrous — so old.

If a piece of meat is going too much water, then its pumped with water and frozen to the piece was heavier. Under the meat must be a little natural ichor. But if the meat has wylegala 48 hours, the ichor will be gone.

Carefully look at the feet: if the membrane calloused, mean, chicken broiler and a large part of his life on the roost. But if the legs slick and smooth — so really home, all my life ran across the yard. Bleary eyes of a bird saying that she was fed anything and, most likely, the bird was unhealthy. If the eyes are transparent, and you can buy.

Need and clover, dry hay, and natural shredded wheat, and fresh grass. This rustic cow's milk should be saturated white, sometimes cream-coloured, because its fat content is quite high — from 3 to 6%.

To determine diluted milk or not, so: place it in a glass of clean water. A drop of good milk gently sink to the bottom of the glass and will dissolve immediately. On the qualitative 5-8 hours on top of going thick, oily cream.

Goat malacosoma the best one that almost does not smell. Specific smell and taste of goat milk give volatile fatty acids, which are allocated by the sebaceous glands of the udder. If goat keep clean and thoroughly wash the udder before milking, sharp odor and a specific taste that the milk does not happen.

Unfortunately, in the field of production and labelling of organic food in Russia there is no order. And where there is no legal basis, a lot of fakes and deception. For organic food grown in the suburbs, often the goods are issued from the Turkish, Caucasian, Chinese, and Korean plantation. And how they were produced, we can only guess. We have to rely on your attentiveness and caution to learn more about what we eat, talking more with the sellers. A healthy curiosity can save the health of the entire family.
