The storage period negatively affected the quality of products, so fresh vegetables/fruit, dairy, bread and meat products it is better to buy once every few days. It is believed that quality food is expensive.
When it comes to some finished products, such as chocolate, here are still may trigger this assertion, but if we are talking about natural products, this rule does not always apply. Even chocolate is better and less expensive alternatives. Always read the label.
Chicken
It is strategically important for the body transformation source of high quality protein. Most suitable for dietary purposes is considered to be chicken - chicken Breasts, legs without skin. There are several rules:
- Buy the cooled meat, not frozen, not to overpay for water;
- If the chicken is bought in the store, special attention to the existence of the virgin seal on the package. It should not be damaged;
Chilled chicken meat stored for 5 days or less, read the shelf life on the packaging - if it is higher, it means the chicken is generously seasoned with preservatives;
- Feel free to smell the meat. If it is corrupted, then the smell you immediately feel. And never forget;
- Do not buy chicken in the colorful packages;
- The flesh should be light pink hue, and the fat pale yellow, the skin should be clean and dry.
Unfortunately, it is possible to learn already during cooking, but if the meat is sticky and slippery, then surely the bird was sick, and to treat used antibiotics.
Fish
As for fish, it is better to buy fresh live fish in large supermarkets, where the quality is still somehow watching. Markets and small shops to buy fresh fish is not the best option.
When choosing a fillet or cut into pieces of fish you need to look at the quality of the meat. It should have a healthy appearance. If the edges are darkened or weathered, then let the seller himself eating such fish.
Buying fresh fish is dead, poke it with your finger. Appeared on the sagging carcass dint say that she was spoiled.
Eggs
If the egg floats, then it is poor quality and not fresh product, but this does not mean that buying eggs, as the cat in the bag.
- Be sure to read the expiration date or the date of sale, printed on the packaging and on the shell;
- On the expiration date will tell the marking - 8-25 days D - 7 days.
- Pay attention to the cleanliness of the shell, and when cooking, always wash the eggs;
- Eggs must be stored in the cool, so in the summer do not buy them on the street.
Before cooking do not be amiss to shake the egg. If it is movable inside, it is better to throw it away. When you shake it should be almost motionless.
Dairy products
Choose quality products from the milk more difficult, but you can try. I have said many times, madly in love with milk, but eat it sparingly because it can mask fat loss due to water retention. In addition, many products can be full of antibiotics, preservatives and it is unclear what else. Example, the counter 2 is exactly the same yogurt, PFC 3.5/¼, and another PFC- 3,5/1/12. Other differences to look for is not, why?
Better to abstain completely from fatty and low-fat milk. The first contains saturated fats, the second is offset by something else. For example, low-fat cottage cheese may contain starch. It is easy to check - take a little bit and add a bit of iodine. If turns blue, it means the cheese with starch, turns blue without.
If you are from Russia, not to waste time, look for the data on Russian manufacturers. They definitely should be. For fitnessista absence of starch in milk is basic, so this theme is very popular, because Russian manufacturers do not always specify the exact composition of the product. In Ukrainian have nothing to say. Tried cottage cheese a few producers, met not delicious, but the starch didn’t get that far.
So as not to strain the search for quality products, I have compiled a list of brands that you trust, and try to shop at the same places, usually from people who warn you if something is wrong.
