The Easiest Way to Check Food Quality

Fresh Milk

– If you suspect the quality of the milk you’ve purchased, mix it with pasteurized milk in a ratio of 1 part fresh milk to 2 parts pasteurized milk.

– After 5 to 7 seconds, observe the glass of milk. If there is a milk skin formation, it indicates good-quality milk. If it takes a long time for the skin to form or if there is no skin at all, then you’ve bought low-quality milk.

Rice

To determine if your rice is fake or real, place a small amount of rice on a spoon and use a lighter to burn it. If black smoke appears and the burnt rice emits a burnt plastic smell, it is fake rice. Discard it immediately to protect your family’s health.

Dried Fruit

Soak the dried fruit in warm water. If, after a few minutes, the fruit retains its color and shape without dissolving, then you have purchased genuine dried fruit of good quality.

However, if the color fades, the shape changes, or the fruit dissolves in the water, it is fake and should not be consumed.

Butter

– Vegetable butter is made from refined oil, while animal butter is made directly from cow’s milk. Due to the higher cost of animal butter, some manufacturers may substitute it with vegetable butter for higher profits.

– To test your butter, cut a small piece and place it in a cup of boiling water. If it melts immediately and forms a layer on the surface without solidifying, it is animal butter.
