Semi-finished products are a defective meal replacement. But it is they who come to the rescue of those who do not have enough time to prepare healthy and balanced dishes.

One of the most popular and delicious semi-finished products are sausages and sausages, simple and quick to prepare. In addition, they perfectly complement various side dishes and vegetable salads. Before buying sausages, check the quality of the product with a light touch. Good raw materials cannot be soft. If we talk about sausages, then due to the higher concentration of fat they are softer, but after pressing they should quickly return to their previous shape. Please note that the brighter the color of the product, the higher the content of chemical dyes in it. Therefore, refuse sausages and sausages, which are characterized by a rich pink tint.
Dumplings and dumplings, plentifully sprinkled with sour cream - the favorite delicacy of many, which is cooked no more than 20-30 minutes. When choosing frozen convenience foods, it should be understood that good and high-quality products cannot be cheap. Therefore, if you are interested which can be purchased at specialized exhibitions and fairs, approach the price issue responsibly. Carefully study the product packaging and information on the composition of the product, the percentage of meat or any other filling. It is advisable to choose semi-finished products in which the content of preservatives, dyes and flavor enhancers is minimal. When inspecting the test, make sure that it is white, not gray. When the product is packaged in an opaque container, just shake it. The presence of sonorous blows will indicate that the product has not previously been defrosted. If the dumplings and dumplings in the package stick together, refuse to buy, because this is a sign of improper storage.
Fish lovers are delighted with the various semi-finished products prepared on the basis of this product. But it is no secret that the fish themselves in a frozen product in the form of a patty or a meatball are very few. Therefore, carefully read the composition and opt for those products that have a higher protein content.
At the same time, doctors strongly do not recommend consuming convenience foods on an ongoing basis, especially for those who have dyskinesia, cholecystitis and gastrointestinal problems. Eat them no more than several times a week.
