New Year's table without additional expenses: how to replace expensive products and not harm health.
Russian scientists are working on a new hybrid of African catfish that can tolerate cooler water. In the future, such fish may become an affordable alternative to expensive salmon, trout, sea bream and dorado, but for now the development is in the research phase.
As Roosevelt says, you can save on groceries now.
Instead of red caviar choose pollock or cod caviar, instead of expensive beef choose chicken or pork and replace exotic fruits with seasonal apples, pears and berries. In winter it is also more profitable to take a closer look at cabbage, carrots, beets and frozen vegetables.
Some of the budget alternatives are just as good as the more expensive ones. Frozen berries and vegetables can retain a similar amount of vitamins to fresh, and the cheaper rapeseed oil, like olive oil, is rich in unsaturated fats. Homemade fruit drinks, patties and stews also make it possible to control the amount of added sugar and the composition of the ingredients.
The main thing is to compare not only the price tags, but also the composition of the products, because reasonable savings do not necessarily mean giving up a varied and nutritious diet.
