Why you should drip iodine on cottage cheese: only a few people use this trick

How to check cottage cheese for naturalness
This can be done with iodine. Take a small piece of cottage cheese and drip iodine on it.
If the cottage cheese turns blue, it means it contains starch, soy protein or other additives (kefir, lime, fruit additives).
You can also check the quality of cottage cheese by placing a piece in boiling water.
If the cottage cheese has melted and turned into a viscous mass, and the water remains clear, the product is of high quality.
If the cottage cheese has not melted or has broken up into flakes, and a greasy film has appeared on the surface of the water, the quality of the product leaves much to be desired.
