Kholodets is one of the most favorite appetizers among Russians.
However, not all people can eat this delicious dish.
Let's figure out who might be harmed by this traditional Russian snack.
Who shouldn't eat aspic?
Aspic contains purines, which should not be consumed by people suffering from gout or urolithiasis. In the latter case, these substances provoke the formation of stones.
Also, you shouldn’t eat jellied meat if you have pancreatitis, as it can make the person feel worse.
How to eat aspic correctly
To ensure that the dish does not become a real blow to the body of even a healthy person, it is recommended to eat it with hot sauces, such as mustard or horseradish.
Thanks to this, gastric juice is released, and the aspic is easily digested and absorbed.
You can also reduce the calorie content of the dish by replacing fatty pork with lean beef or fish.
