Glazed curd bars: benefits, harm, composition and rules of use

Glazed curd bars in their original form (without sugar) began to be produced in the Soviet Union in the thirties of the last century. In the fifties, they acquired the usual sweet taste. Today on the shelves there are many options for such a delicacy with all sorts of additives. But not all of them should be bought. Such a product has both benefit and harm.

Glazed industrial cheeses are made from the following components:

• cottage cheese;
• sugar;
• butter;
• cocoa;
• in some cases, berries and fruit pieces;
• sweeteners and flavors;
• dyes and preservatives.

The weight of the product (1 pc.) Can be from forty to fifty grams. In a hundred grams of a mixture of cottage cheese, sugar, butter and chocolate "wrapper" contains about four hundred calories. So, the usual cottage cheese dessert from the store, which weighs half as much, contains half of that.

The benefits of glazed cheese are primarily related to the characteristics of cottage cheese, which is the basis of the product. It contains calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins A, C, E, B.

Cottage cheese is advised to use in diseases of the liver, heart, kidneys, stomach and intestines. It is useful for immunity and the nervous system. Easily absorbed by the body.

Chocolate has a positive effect on brain function and improves mood.

If in the shop glazed cheesecake and you can find some kind of benefit, then it is much more harmful. There is no trust in the quality of the products offered.

A huge amount of sugar and fat make this dessert taboo for diabetics. Stale cottage cheese becomes a hotbed of E. coli, which can adversely affect the work of the gastrointestinal tract. Given the fact that the store can easily run into an expired product, this is very important in the modern world.

Preservatives that increase the shelf life of such bars are also not useful for the body component. In addition, natural ingredients like normal berries and fruit manufacturers replace synthetic additives.

Even if this is not indicated on the packaging, the stabilizer and preservative in the store's dessert are necessary. Ordinary citric acid can be used as a preservative, and what is the stabilizer responsible for the homogeneity of the contents under the chocolate icing is difficult for an ordinary person to understand.

To reduce the cost of cheese instead of butter, they add cheaper vegetable analogues, low-quality fats. By systematically eating such foods, one can acquire obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, and a host of other problems.

Varieties of cheese curd in chocolate on the shelves of the shops a lot. You can find such a dessert with raisins, dried apricots, coconut. It can be vanilla or strawberry.

Manufacturers of chocolate dessert with cottage cheese today, no less. As the names of glazed curd bars on the shelves. These products are created in dairy plants throughout the country.

The best, according to consumers, are “Taste of childhood”, produced by the Preobrazhensky dairy plant, “B. Y. Aleksandrov ”from RosAgroComplex LLC, Nostalgia from RostAgroComplex.

However, the quality is variable. When buying, you should again and again evaluate the taste of cheese curds.

In order not to guess what is in the composition of the purchased cheese, not to worry about the health of the children and your own, it is easier to make this children's dessert with your own hands.

For the manufacture of glazed cheeses need to take:

• seven hundred grams of cottage cheese of small fat content;
• two tablespoons of sour cream (can be replaced with cream);
• butter - three tablespoons;
• powdered sugar (half a cup);
• chocolate;
• vanilla, raisins and other sweet ingredients to the taste of the child.

Mash cottage cheese and turn it into a uniform substance without granules using a blender. Heat the oil to softness, add to the curd, add sugar powder and add vanilla to the composition. Beat it all up to the pomp.

Then add sour cream or cream, beat again (about two minutes). The resulting mass should be very thick.

The form of cheese can be given any kind. The easiest way is to place the prepared mass in a plastic bag, cut off the tip of this package and squeeze in portions onto a dish covered with baking paper. If you plan to make cheesecakes not only with vanilla, but also with some tasty ingredients, they are better to add at this stage.

Now sweet blanks for cheese should be sent to the refrigerator. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. So that he does not quickly stand again, it makes sense to add a little butter in it.

Frozen curds should be dipped in chocolate liquid in turn and returned to the dish on which they have cooled.

If silicone forms are used for cheesecakes, then first their walls are coated with melted chocolate, and then put in the refrigerator. When the “sweet walls” harden, you can decompose the curd with additives into the forms, and pour liquid chocolate on top. The final cheeses are prepared in the freezer, where they should be removed for several hours - best for the night. By morning, a healthy dessert comes to readiness, and it can be served for breakfast.

Glazed home-made cheese can be consumed safely (if there is no allergy to its components), although a measure is also needed here. Be careful with store cheeses. Even when buying, you should carefully read the product composition on the packaging.

If the inscription "cottage cheese" is missing, no one can vouch that there is any curd in cheese. If there is an indication on the packaging that the product is flavored with such a fruit or berry, this means that the natural products are replaced by the appropriate flavoring.

Cocoa may not be present in the glaze. Experts do not advise giving such cheese to a child.

When diarrhea should immediately abandon the use of purchased dessert in food.

Glazed factory-made cheese curds can be included in the diet when breastfeeding. You need to choose a dessert that has mostly natural ingredients. You will have to focus on what is indicated on the packaging, as well as on the price of the goods (cheap in this case is a sign of low grade).

You need to make sure that the child does not have an allergic reaction to this product. After the morning feeding you can eat half a cheese. If for two days the child will behave unchanged for the worse, there are no contraindications to the use of these desserts. But still, more than two such sweet bars cannot be eaten in a week. At the same time, the consumption of sugar from other food sources on these days should be limited.

If a person is on a diet, the inclusion in the diet of high-calorie cheese curds will not be a good solution. In this product, the minimum protein.It is easier to forget that there is such food and switch to proper nutrition (PP) with natural products, the same curd.

Glazed curd cheese belong to the category of perishable goods. If it is really a natural product, its shelf life does not exceed fourteen days. Storage temperature should not be above plus six degrees. When the terms indicate more time, it means that there are preservatives in the dessert.
