Everyone knows that quality borscht should have a characteristic sourness: only in this case can the soup be called a success.
However, sometimes we are in for a not entirely pleasant surprise: the dish turns out sweet.
In order to avoid this situation, chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of cooking, advises paying attention to several common mistakes.
What do they consist of?
Vegetables
If you use too many carrots, a sweet taste may inevitably appear. This also happens when using some types of beets.
Sometimes housewives add bell pepper to borscht, which can also cause a sweet taste.
Products for sourness
If you don't add them, the borscht will be sweet. You should choose between sauerkraut, tomato paste, lemon juice, regular or apple cider vinegar.
Sugar
Sometimes you can find a recommendation regarding sugar: it makes borscht more delicious. However, it is worth understanding that sugar is not added in large quantities.
