You can find such a variety of meat products in stores that sometimes buyers stand at the shelves for a long time not being able to choose a product. Among the whole assortment there are sausages of various types, and products from whole meat, and sausages. The latter, in turn, are also represented by both different manufacturers and names.
Assorted sausages
What is a sausage? This is a meat product, the basis of which is boiled meat. It can be both pork, beef, and chicken. Different varieties may vary in size, composition, color.
It does not affect the quality of sausages in which shell they are packed: polyamide or natural. Shelf life is approximately 30 days. Frozen a little more.
Famous sausages with names that are familiar to the buyer for more than one decade are sold to everyone. For example, dairy and creamy. It seems to be the same thing with the addition of dairy products, but there are significant differences in both composition and dairy components.
Creamy sausages, regardless of who produces them, must have a certain set of ingredients to be called creamy.
When choosing a meat product, it is better to give preference to proven factories that use quality meat. In every region of the country there is a manufacturer whose products simply scatter from the shelves.
Calorie content and nutritional value
Like any other product of meat origin, sausages are high in calories. Given that cream sausages contain cream in addition to meat, calories per hundred grams are usually from 210 to 310, depending on the manufacturer and the recipe.
The calorie content of creamy sausages also depends on what kind of meat they are made of, how many grams of fat are added. The amount of carbohydrates is influenced by whether there are any additives in the composition such as soy, flour or starch, i.e. high carb products.
The nutritional value of this often used semi-finished product is distributed as follows: fats - 15-25 g, proteins - 10-15 g, carbohydrates - from 0 to 2 g. It is better to choose sausages that do not have carbohydrates. So the likelihood that this is a better product is slightly higher.
Composition of creamy sausages
At present, when manufacturing companies can produce products not according to GOST, but according to technical conditions, i.e. according to TU, many buyers are faced with the choice - whether to buy a product that can be made not only from high-quality raw materials.
The composition of tasty and regular sausages should include meat (pork, beef), cream, salt, sugar and spices. However, everyone knows that producers sin by adding soy to the composition, and also replace high-quality meat with offal. Thus making sausages cheaper, but not always tastier.
In addition, it is now almost impossible to find sausages that do not have flavor enhancers, flavorings, stabilizers and additives that extend the shelf life of products.
The composition of creamy sausages should include precisely cream, which make sausages tender and give them a milky taste.
When choosing creamy sausages, especially if they are purchased for children, you must carefully read the composition and pay attention to the amount of additives and impurities.
Sausage Dishes
In any store you can find sausages from different manufacturers and with different meat composition. You can also see creamy sausages in the package, as well as those sold by weight. The former are more convenient to buy if you plan to store them at home for some time.
Creamy sausages can be used in the form in which they are sold, because they are made from already prepared ingredients. But tastier when they go through heat treatment. For example, you can boil them in boiling water for several minutes.
Despite the fact that sausages are a simple and uncomplicated product, you can cook delicious dishes with it that will appeal to all family members.
Sausages can be used as a meat component in soups. Rich borschs and hodgepodge are very tasty, in which sausages are saturated with the aromas of vegetables and spices and taste better than meat.
If you want to cook simple snacks, you can also use sausages, which in tandem with the dough taste like good homemade pastries. You can use yeast dough if you cook pies with filling. In this case, cut the sausages into pieces, add cheese and a little fried onions. Pies can be baked in the oven or fried in oil.
The most famous dish is the sausage in the dough. To prepare it, you can take the finished dough, roll it, cut into strips, then wrap each sausage with dough, anoint it with a beaten egg and send it to the oven for 25 minutes. When a golden crust appears, the sausages are ready.
If you do not eat sausages every day and do not make them a permanent dish on your table, then this is quite a complete meal. Only the purchase should be taken seriously and not take the first caught sight, but carefully read the composition.
