In the 80-ies. black caviar was a delicacy. In stores it was a lot and at fairly affordable prices. People could sometimes afford such a luxury and not only on holidays. At present, real black caviar, of course, is in stores, but at an unthinkably high price. And what is cheap is either contraband or artificial.
Black caviar and its value
Black caviar is obtained from fish of sturgeon, such as beluga, sturgeon, sterlet, stellate sturgeon. The high cost of caviar is due to the extinction of sturgeon due to constant poaching attacks on it. But now there are more and more sturgeon farms, where they grow fish and get eggs, though not as tasty as "wild".
Black caviar is a source of protein (about 30%), fully absorbed by the body. It also contains folic acid, vitamin D, A, C, different amino acids and minerals. Therefore, black caviar is highly recommended for pregnant women, sick people and children. In addition, unlike red caviar, black can not be preserved in urotropin, which further enhances its usefulness.
Caviar storage
When buying black caviar, we immediately wonder where and how to store black caviar. Although, why keep it, it is necessary, and not watch. But still, if necessary, the caviar should be stored in the refrigerator.
In general, the ideal temperature is between -2 and -1 degrees. But since refrigerators can not provide such a temperature, and you can not store caviar in a freezer, you can resort to such tricks.
In advance, freeze a lot of ice and find in the fridge the coldest place. Usually this place is under the freezer. Collect enough ice, pack in bags and put in a bowl. Put a jar of caviar on the ice and put a bowl in a previously determined place. As the ice melts, change the packages to new, frozen ones. Do not be afraid, the caviar will not freeze - salt simply will not allow this to happen. Keep black delicacy in the freezer is not, because at high temperature there is a burst of eggs.
In closed banks, the storage of caviar is permissible for 1-3 months. But even with monthly storage, its taste significantly changes. An open jar with caviar can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than three days, but it must also be put on ice, covered with food film or lid.
