Not all food producers can be called conscientious - some of them use various additives for natural products.
In this way they reduce production costs, but this cannot go unnoticed for the quality of the products.
All of the above applies equally to sour cream.
If you are concerned that you have purchased a product that contains palm oil or starch, check its quality at home.
Moreover, you have several methods at your disposal that have never let anyone down.
To make sure that there are no impurities in the sour cream, try applying it to glass.
If it is high-quality and natural, you will end up with an even sour cream layer. Accordingly, the product that contains impurities will give stains that are easily visible to the naked eye.
You can also use iodine - one drop is enough.
If after mixing with iodine the sour cream changes color to brown, you can breathe out calmly. If the shade of the product becomes blue or purple, it means that starch was added to it.
Finally, the simplest test involves using hot water - fill a glass with it and stir a spoonful of sour cream inside.
If it is a fake, it will not dissolve, but will settle to the bottom in the form of lumps or, conversely, will float to the top in flakes.
Conversely, real sour cream will dissolve in hot liquid without any problems.
