Cake can choose animal cream or plant cream, which is healthier?

Vegetable cream is also called vegetable fat cream. It has nothing to do with milk. It is a kind of margarine made from vegetable oil hydrogenated into solid. Therefore, the price of vegetable cream is more than half cheaper than that of animal cream.

Traditional cream is just animal cream. The animal cream we usually say is the fat separated from milk, so animal cream is actually a dairy product. According to the fat content from low to high, it is divided into thin cream (light cream), cream (butter) and anhydrous cream (anhydrous butter).

In fact, plant ointment and animal ointment are different in taste, production purpose, health degree and price.

Vegetable cream is a synthetic product similar to cream. The only advantage of vegetable cream is that it is easier to remove. But it is made by adding emulsifier, stabilizer, protein and seasoning, and contains almost no dairy products. It also contains a lot of trans fatty acids and hydrogenated oils, which can be absorbed by human body, but cannot be metabolized, so it is also harmful to human health.

Because animal cream is animal fat, it is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, so it is not recommended to eat more, especially for people with three highs and small partners who need to control their weight. However, animal cream is richer in vitamins, calcium, iron and other trace elements than plant cream, and its taste will be much better than plant cream.

So how to distinguish between vegetable cream and animal cream:

Hand rubbing method: in addition, you can also take a small amount of cream and apply it to your palm for rubbing. Animal cream will soon disappear in the palm, leaving only a small amount of oil in the palm, just like hand cream. Plant cream is still in the palm of your hand after being rubbed for a long time, and it will even form in the palm of your hand after being rubbed for a long time.

Submergence method: pour the same amount of animal ointment and plant ointment into clean water at 20℃ respectively, and observe the phenomenon. Animal cream floats on the water, partially dissolves in water, and plant cream sinks under water.

The price of animal cream is three times that of plant cream, and the storage period is short, so it can't be frozen and storage is troublesome, so the cost of animal cream is higher than that of plant cream.
