It is said that girls love two things the most: milk tea and dessert.
From the cream on the cake to the lid on the milk tea, those who love dessert can't forget the delicious taste of the cream.
But there are always people who think that cream is unhealthy and harmful to the body, in fact, what you eat is not necessarily real cream.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > vegetable cream vs animal cream</h1>
1. Vegetable cream
Vegetable cream is also called vegetable cream.
In fact, it has nothing to do with milk, it is a kind of margarine processed after the vegetable oil is hydrogenated into a solid.
Therefore, the price of vegetable cream is more than half cheaper than animal cream.
2. Animal cream
Traditional cream is only animal cream.
We usually say that animal cream is fat separated from milk, so animal cream is actually dairy products.
According to the fat content from low to high, it can be divided into cream (light cream), cream (butter), anhydrous cream (anhydrous butter).
Animal cream that we usually buy and eat most often is light cream.
Light cream with a lower fat content, generally used in coffee or some milk tea;
Light creams with a fat content greater than 30% are framed or spread on the surface of the cake after being whipped.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > advantages and disadvantages</h1>
In fact, vegetable cream and animal cream are different in taste, production use, human health and price.
Specifically, let's take stock of the advantages and disadvantages of these two kinds of "cream":
Although the ingredients of animal cream are more natural and taste better, they are not strong enough after being whipped, easy to deform, and the cost is high.
Therefore, in order to reduce costs and make better-looking shapes, cake shops generally prefer vegetable cream.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >how to distinguish between vegetable cream and animal cream? </h1>
So when buying cakes and desserts, how do we distinguish between animal cream and vegetable cream?
Teach you these three tricks to easily discern:
1. Taste the taste
Animal cream has a rich milk flavor, the taste is smooth but not greasy, and the vegetable cream is a sweet and greasy feeling.
2, look at the color
Animal cream will be yellowish in color, and vegetable cream is very white in color.
3. Do a small experiment
Principle: Animal and vegetable cream melting point and density are different
Microwave on high heat for 5-10s, animal cream will melt completely, vegetable cream only melts part.
To verify this, we made a cream fruit cake with animal cream on the left half and vegetable cream on the right half.
Place the cake at room temperature, set up the camera to delay shooting, and observe the cake changes.
It is obvious that you can see:
As time passes, the yellow animal cream has completely melted, while the white vegetable cream remains firm.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how to choose the cream products on the market? </h1>
If we want to buy our own cream to make some desserts, how do we choose?
We have compiled some common cream products on the market for your reference:
Vegetable cream products
Vegetable cream generally adds a variety of sugars, as well as pigments and flavors, so the vegetable cream itself will be sweeter.
If you want to make a cake with vegetable cream, pay attention to the amount of sugar added, don't add more.
Animal cream products
Anjia's light cream and butter are more yellowish in color.
Because New Zealand's grass β-carotene is more, and cows bring β-carotene into the milk, Anjia's dairy products will be yellowish and not as much like "cream" as the other two products.
Animal cream is because it is animal fat, has a high saturated fat and cholesterol, so it is not recommended to eat more, especially the three high people and small partners who need to control weight.
In order to reduce trans fatty acids, vegetable cream needs all hydrogenated vegetable oils, so the fat in it is all saturated fatty acids.
However, now hydrogenated vegetable oil can achieve "0 trans fatty acids" in the process, according to the label, the above products do not contain trans fatty acids.
The national standard stipulates that the content of trans fatty acids ≤ 0.3% can be marked "0 trans fatty acids"
If you want to buy vegetable cream, remember to look at the nutritional ingredient list on the package, whether the content of trans fatty acids is "0".
Pass the time comparison
Considering that some people will care about the time of different creams.
We did a set of experiments to calculate the time it takes to pass the time for the six cream products to be complete.
Their passing time is sorted from low to high for your reference.
In fact, whether it is animal cream or vegetable cream, strictly speaking, it is not very healthy, and the small partners who usually love to eat cream are just fine, but don't be too greedy.
