There are many ways to check the quality of the food products we eat every day. However, most of them require the assistance of professionals or special equipment. We at Bright Side suggest only those you can do all by yourself at home or even right in the supermarket. For example, to figure out whether your cottage cheese has some starch in its content is add a drop of iodine to this product. If there's starch in it, the stain will turn deep blue. If the color remains brown or dark yellow, the cottage cheese doesn't contain any additives. In addition, cottage cheese that contains vegetable fats will become yellow if left at room temperature. As for fresh, natural cottage cheese, it might taste a bit sour after this test, but its color will remain the same. Cottage cheese that is about to go bad will have pockets of liquid, which indicates that the process of separation has started. If you wanna know what other checks there are, watch the video!

Avoid buying poultry that looks gray, yellowish, or translucent. Even if the meat looks pink enough, inspect the crevices under the thighs and wings. The meat itself should be neither too stiff nor too soft, and the skin should spring back after you touch it. - A moldy, stinky, or rancid sour cream will clearly tell you that the product has gone bad. You should also pay attention to the color of sour cream. If it's yellow or discolored, it may have fungi or bacteria growth inside. - If the product has a caramel flavor, this may indicate that the honey has been previously heated. And if honey is excessively sweet, this means that white sugar has been added to the product. - If a package of frozen veggies, berries, or fruits has pieces of ice or snow inside (or if you can feel big, solid blocks of food), the product hasn't been stored properly. The chances are high that the food has been thawed and then refrozen. Freshly frozen packaged foods should have only a thin layer of frost covering them. - When you choose fish, first check its smell. High-quality fresh fish will have a clean and briny sea smell. A suspicious “fishy” odor means that the fish isn't good. - When you choose meat, poke it with your finger. If the meat is fresh, your fingerprint will disappear. According to professional chefs, properly stored cold meat should be hard. - You can also leave a piece of cheese at room temperature. If this cheese is of high quality, it will become softer. If it gets drier or liquid appears on its surface, the quality leaves much to be desired. - If you need to check the freshness of herbs, hold a bunch of them in your hand. If the leaves are hanging over the sides, these herbs have already wilted. Moreover, if the stems are too long and the color is too dark, this product is likely to contain nitrates. Fresh herbs are known for their natural green color. - If you don't want to crack the egg but need to figure out if it's still OK to use, put it in a cup filled with water. A fresh egg will drop to the bottom of the cup and lie on its side. If the egg drops to the bottom but stands upright, you can eat it — but do this as soon as possible. - If the quality of ice cream is high and its ingredients are natural, it will melt into a thick creamy substance with a white color.
