Whether borscht turns out tasty depends largely on the choice of ingredients.

We'll tell you about two ingredients that can ruin the taste of borscht.

What you shouldn't add to borscht

Firstly, professional chefs strongly advise against adding potatoes to borscht.

The thing is that potatoes can drown out the taste of other ingredients.

In addition, this starchy vegetable makes the borscht heavier and less dietary.

Secondly, you shouldn't add vinegar to the borscht to make it sour. Even a small excess of vinegar can hopelessly ruin the taste of the borscht.

Experienced chefs recommend using tomato paste or lemon juice to add sourness.
