When reading the ingredients of sausages from the store, many people simply do not understand which one to give preference to.

Why not pay attention to the ingredients that must be included? Therefore, it is worthwhile to understand in more detail how to choose high-quality sausages in the store.

There should be meat, not raw meat

The base for most sausages is meat. This can be beef, pork, chicken, or a combination of these.

Quality sausages should contain 70% or more meat. If there is no meat in the composition, then what is the point of buying them?

Fats

Fats add flavor and texture to sausages. Animal fats, such as lard or poultry fat, are commonly used. A small amount of fat helps sausages be juicy and flavorful.

Allowed ingredients in the composition

Ideal sausages should consist of:

1) meat;

2) sugar;

3) salts;

4) spices;

5) sodium nitrite;

6) water.

Of course, preservatives are often found, but there should be a minimum of them.

Which variety to choose?

If we consider premium products, then there should be 100% meat. In first-grade sausages, 70%. If we are talking about raw meat, then such products should definitely be avoided.

Why you shouldn't buy sausages made from raw meat

It is important to understand that there is practically no natural meat in them. We are talking about mechanical processing, which includes:

• some meat;
• fat;
• bones;
• tendons.

Their usefulness is questionable, although their taste may not be inferior to expensive sausages. However, each person should in any case be rational. Price also plays a role. Good sausages by default cannot be cheap.
