Red caviar is considered a delicacy all over the world. It not only has a unique special taste, but also contains a lot of nutrients.
History of occurrence
Currently, there are not many products that can be classified as expensive and luxurious. In Russia, caviar appeared when the development of Siberia and the Far East began. For the first time they tried this delicacy during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, after the capture of Astrakhan. It was in this city that the first office was created that dealt with fish, but caviar was not in great demand then, it was even thrown into the sea. However, for fishermen and hunters, it replaced bread. They already then understood what the use of red caviar was. It could not only be salted, but also dried, and taken with you on long trips. The peoples of Primorye had a special tradition. Before the wedding night, the newlyweds were given three large spoons of caviar. Such a ceremony allowed to restore strength before the wedding night and meant that their life would be long and cloudless.

In general, in order for our favorite delicacy to bring only benefits, it is worth paying attention to the volume of its consumption.
Variety and composition

Since ancient times, caviar has been called royal caviar. It has an even, regular shape, the spot where the embryo is located is clearly visible. This caviar is often used to decorate various dishes.
Chinook fish gives us the most tender, large caviar. Nowadays, it is the rarest and most expensive. Sockeye salmon is extremely rare on our market, as it lives mainly on the American coast. Despite the varieties, this whole fish delicacy has anti-allergic properties, and surpasses meat in calories.
How not to make a mistake with the choice of your favorite delicacy?
Nowadays, red caviar is considered quite affordable. The benefits and harms largely depend on its quality. Now the choice is very large - it can be caviar by weight, in plastic containers, in iron packages, as well as red caviar in jars. But despite all this, you can buy a low-quality, expired product. To avoid this, you need to follow some simple rules. The jar must be tightly rolled up, not have deformations and swellings. The salting date must be written on the lid (not to be confused with the seaming date), the manufacturer's number, the shift number and the fishing industry index are also indicated - it is marked with the letter P. It is worth noting that high-quality caviar is usually packaged in a jar within one months after the ambassador. You need to read the ingredients carefully. It may include salt, vegetable oil, additives E200, E400, E239, antiseptics may be present for better storage. Be sure to indicate the family of fish from which red caviar is produced, the calorie content of this product. You should buy red caviar only in specialized grocery stores, where the correct storage conditions are provided.
Storage rules
This product is perishable and turns sour quickly. With a sealed jar, everything is simple, it should be kept in the refrigerator until the indicated expiration date. If the tin container is opened, then it is no longer possible to store caviar in it. It is necessary to transfer all its contents into a glass container, having previously treated it with a hot saline solution, then grease the bottom with vegetable oil and at the end tightly close the lid and put it in the refrigerator. With this method, caviar will retain red calories and other useful properties. There is another method that will help increase the shelf life of the product. A container with caviar is placed in a container, at the bottom of which lies crushed ice, this is also stored in the refrigerator. Ice should be changed as it melts, but often this should not be done, since it is impossible to store such a delicacy at too low a temperature - its taste will deteriorate and the integrity of the eggs will suffer.
Salting red caviar
With home salting, the delicacy is even tastier, but it takes time. There are two ways to salt. The first one is wet. With this processing option, the product is stored for no more than 3 days. First, a brine is prepared at the rate of 200 g of water per 40 g of salt, 10 g of sugar. After boiling, it is necessary to let it cool, then pour it with caviar cleaned from films and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Then recline in a colander, let the water drain completely - and that's it, the dish is ready. The second method is dry. In this case, the resulting treat can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Freed from films, the caviar is dipped into boiling salt water for no more than 30 seconds, then it is thrown back into an enameled container and the salting itself begins. For 1 kg of caviar you need 2 tbsp. tablespoons of coarse salt. Everything is thoroughly mixed with a wooden spoon. After the end, the product is laid out in sterilized glass jars. To avoid odors and for better storage, you can add a spoonful of vegetable oil to each jar.
How to properly serve caviar?

Red caviar: composition, calories
Modern man pays great attention to dietology, and therefore seeks to calculate all the pros and cons of his diet. Involuntarily, you will wonder what is the use of red caviar for the body and is there any harm in it? You should start by determining the composition of a unique product.
The word "unique" is not accidental. After all, red caviar is practically made entirely of protein, contains minimum carbohydrates. Moreover, caviar protein differs from meat protein in that it is very easily absorbed by the body. A small amount of red game brings more energy to the body than meat or milk.
The amount of protein per hundred grams of the product is 32 percent, the amount of fat is 15 percent, and only one and a half percent is fat.
Red caviar is quite high in calories: 100 grams of product accounts for 230 to 250 kcal. However, it will not cause obesity, unless, of course, there is a game in tons, spreading it on white rolls with butter.
Red caviar, the benefits of which are obvious for obesity, has a fairly low glycemic index - five units. Therefore, it can be fearlessly use on protein diets and in the preparation of a therapeutic nutrition plan.
Nutritionists pay special attention to the vitamin and mineral composition of red caviar, the benefits for the body, taking into account this factor, are simply enormous. The product contains a lot of folic acid, retinol (vitamin A), tocopherol (vitamin E), vitamin D, B vitamins, calcium, iodine, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, etc.
But the main value of caviar is that it contains substances that are not produced by the human body: polyunsaturated fatty acids. The health benefits of the red game from this point of view are colossal. In addition, it contains lecithin - the most important substance for health, which the body actively uses to build cells.

Red caviar: what is the harm to health?
Useful properties of red caviar are found without special studies. People who use it are energetic, rarely get sick, have even skin, shiny hair and strong nails. In general, they are bursting with health.
But in this ode to the health benefits of red caviar, there are also unpleasant and sometimes serious moments of concern. Not everything is so rosy.
First, the far-sighted Hippocrates said that everything is poison, and everything is medicine, the whole question is in the dose. Therefore, with an excess of such beneficial vitamins and minerals, as well as simply with excessive consumption of any product, including red caviar, significant damage can be done to the body. Red caviar can cause considerable harm. Say, only vitamin B12 in 100 grams of the product is twice as much as it should be according to the daily requirement. Regular overeating can cause pulmonary edema, anaphylactic shock, heart failure. Two, maximum three sandwiches (no more than 30 grams of caviar) - that's what an adult can afford.
Secondly, for long-term storage, caviar is salted, so the salt content in the product is very high. That's why the harm of red caviar is obvious for the "renal", that is, people suffering from various diseases of the kidneys, the urinary system as a whole. Under threat and "cores". They should replace the delicacy with something else, less dangerous. Salt retains water, leads to the formation of edema, disruption of water metabolism and metabolic processes.
Thirdly, the wonderful easily digestible protein contained in red caviar is also capable of causing harm, and considerable. The fact is that such a protein is unusual for residents of the center and south of Russia, and therefore can cause a severe allergic reaction up to the development of anaphylactic shock. And this is a direct threat to life.
A very dangerous counterfeit. Here, not only allergy sufferers, but also healthy people are at risk. Especially insidious are preservatives that can be used in canning. The most terrible is urotropin (E239), banned back in 2009. But who and when were the bans stopped? If the caviar is clandestine, it can be dangerous. The liver and kidneys fail, vision is lost, cancer can develop.
There are also cases of individual intolerance to caviar. Symptoms are similar to allergies, can manifest as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, skin rashes.
For pregnant and lactating mothers: the harm and benefits of red caviar
A separate question about red caviar is its benefits for the body of a pregnant and lactating woman. Some obstetricians and gynecologists are against the use of the product during pregnancy, some are for it. It seems that it is necessary to focus on the state of health of a particular woman, the presence of chronic diseases and the recommendations of the doctor leading the pregnancy. He has the ability to adjust the nutrition of the expectant mother based on the results of laboratory tests.
If we talk about the average, completely healthy woman, then there are no contraindications for the use of red caviar, the benefits of which for the body are undeniable. Moreover, vitamin D is very important for the formation of the skeleton of the newborn and can actually prevent rickets.
This also applies folic acid, which is mandatory for pregnant women. There is a lot of it in caviar, as well as magnesium and calcium, which are very healthy for mother and baby. Therefore, the product, consumed in reasonable quantities, helps the fetus to develop not only bones, but also the nervous system and brain.
It should not be forgotten that caviar can lower bad cholesterol levels and increase iron levels in the blood. This is especially important in the last months of gestation, when almost every pregnant woman has iron deficiency anemia.
But the abuse of the game for a pregnant woman is unacceptable. the consequences of immoderation - the appearance of protein in the urine, swelling, increased pressure. As a result, the risk of miscarriage, the risk of fetal hypoxia.
It is best to eat caviar for a future mother according to this scheme: I bought a jar or two, eat it for several days, a maximum of a week, and then take a month break.
As for nursing mothers, if the mother herself or close relatives have allergies, it is better to refuse to eat caviar. If this is not the case, then there are no contraindications for the use of caviar. Furthermore, lactation improves.. Another thing is that caviar with butter and bread is a risk of quickly building up five to seven extra pounds on the sides. After giving birth, this, to put it mildly, is useless.
Red caviar for children: useful or harmful
Red caviar benefits children to the same extent as adults. And the restrictions on use are the same. The product is rich in iodine, which is very important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland in children. Children grow very quickly, so their body needs help, including through iodine-containing products. The use of red caviar is shown with a lack of weight or, conversely, with excess body weight. Both of these are the result of a malfunctioning thyroid gland.
The vitamin and mineral composition of the product, as well as the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids in it, contributes to the proper formation of the musculoskeletal system, strengthening immunity (especially important for frequently ill children) and vision.
The benefits of red caviar for the child's body are very high. But if the baby has a predisposition to allergies, this product should be forgotten. That is why pediatricians categorically do not recommend giving red caviar sandwiches to babies under the age of three, and then limiting the dose to 15 grams per day. Moreover, you can pamper your child with caviar no more than twice a week.
Brings red caviar harm or benefit, depends on the general condition of the human body. In any case, it is impossible to imagine a New Year's and, in general, a festive table without tartlets and sandwiches with it.
