The quality of sausages varies greatly depending on the manufacturer and their type.
Therefore, if you have doubts about the product you purchased, you can easily check at home whether it meets your expectations.
Let's figure out how to tell whether the sausage in front of us is of high quality or not.
Types of sausage
On store shelves you can find sausages and ham of the first, second and highest grades.
The first two are usually not distinguished by natural composition. They contain flavor and aroma enhancers, stabilizers, emulsifiers, etc.
Premium products should contain a minimum of additives, but sodium nitrite, ascorbic acid and smoking substances are found.
How to check the quality of sausage
There are two ways to check the quality of the meat product you purchased.
Cut a small cube of sausage and drop it into a glass of water. If it floats, it means that soy fiber or starch has been added to the product, which should not be in expensive varieties.
Iodine will help determine the presence of starch in sausage. Put a few drops on the product, and if it turns blue or black, there is a lot of starch in the sausage.
