One of the most common and popular fish delicacies is granular pink salmon caviar. It is this variety of red caviar that is produced in the largest quantities. No more than 3 - 4 hours after catching, the caviar is taken out of the fish, the fat and films are removed from it through a special sieve, and then placed in brine, which allows it to be preserved for a long time.

Usually the eggs are medium in size, orange in color and have a delicate taste with a slight bitterness, as well as a pleasant smell. At the same time, high-quality caviar does not stick together, but has a crumbly, granular structure.

Caviar is a product that contains, in concentrated form, all the substances necessary for the appearance and growth of future fry. That is why the content of vitamins, macro- and microelements is maximum here. Caviar contains vitamins: , , PP, B1, B2.

Microelements: molybdenum, fluorine, iron.

Macroelements: magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur.

Beneficial features

Red caviar contains an increased amount of protein - more than 30 g per 100 grams of product. And this protein is absorbed within an hour after eating, which is not at all typical for proteins of animal origin.

In addition, caviar contains many essential and non-essential amino acids, and the abundant lecithin content eliminates the harmful effects of cholesterol, which is quite abundant in caviar. Another useful property of this product is that it contains a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Application

Red caviar is considered an exquisite, festive, cold appetizer. It can be served as an independent, separate dish, or put on sandwiches, salads or pancakes. If pink salmon caviar is served separately, it must be well chilled. It is better if it stands in a glass caviar bowl on specially prepared ice.

Simple sandwiches with butter and red caviar are very popular at New Year's parties and buffets. And on Maslenitsa they often make pancakes with fish delicacy wrapped inside.

Red caviar

White caviar

Black caviar

The most expensive and rare caviar is black. It is also called sturgeon, since most often we purchase the offal of this particular fish. However, stellate sturgeon caviar is also found. However, the difference in the proportions of nutrients and proteins, fats and carbohydrates is minimal. The difference in energy value can be only 10 - 15 kcal per 100 g.

The most nutritious and healthy caviar is beluga(237 kcal per 100 g). But finding it in stores is almost impossible.

Red caviar

Red salmon caviar is one of the most popular. Most often on store shelves there is pink salmon caviar (the lowest calorie - 230 kcal per 100 g), chum salmon and sockeye salmon. Less often - salmon or Atlantic salmon. Most people prefer to eat it with a white loaf and butter. However, the healthiest sandwich is made on black bread with herbs. You can also put it in half a boiled egg, eliminating baked goods from your diet.

White caviar

White caviar is as healthy as its brothers - salmon and sturgeon. However, it has two advantages: affordable price and low calorie content. Send it on a piece of black bread or rye baguette - and a tasty and healthy snack is ready! Among the most common options are cod, pike and pollock caviar.

When buying whole lightly salted herring, some people expect to find delicious caviar inside. Not a bad bonus to add to your collection of useful substances!

Another favorite caviar by many is capelin. However, despite the initially low energy value of this caviar, the finished product from the store cannot boast of low calorie content. The fact is that capelin caviar is not consumed in its natural form. Typically, the salted or smoked product is mixed with mayonnaise, oil and flavor enhancers, which can negatively affect your figure and cholesterol levels. Therefore, when buying this delicacy, carefully study the composition

Not a single holiday table is complete without a jar of salted red caviar. Pancakes for Maslenitsa, tartlets, decorations for New Year's salads - it is impossible to ignore this product. Adults and children especially love the traditional sandwich with butter and red caviar. The product is obtained from fish of the salmon family (chinook salmon, salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon, etc.). Red caviar is considered a delicacy, and despite the high price, everyone can afford it. The caviar has a regular spherical shape and a bright amber color. In the old days it was called “royal”. But earlier this product was mined in such huge quantities that it was fed to sled dogs.

Correct composition of red caviar

The value of caviar is enormous. The egg is nothing more than a future fry, so it is not surprising that its chemical composition includes a lot of nutrients necessary for the future development of the fish. If we consider the BJU of caviar (proteins, fats, carbohydrates), then the nutritional value is characterized by the indicators 51:48:2, respectively.

It is a direct source of protein. Caviar is especially important for pregnant women because of its nutritional composition. The vitamin complex includes elements of group B, E, A, D, folic acid, which is simply necessary for the proper development of the baby during the gestation period. In addition to the above, what does the product contain from micro- and macroelements? Many minerals: manganese, phosphorus, silicon, iodine, potassium, zinc, calcium, iron, sodium, molybdenum, sulfur, fluorine, magnesium, small amounts of saturated fatty acids, high-density cholesterol.

The indicators of bju chum caviar in terms of 100 grams of product are:

Protein 48%

Fat 18%
Carbohydrates 0%

Energy value of the product

As for the calorie content of the delicacy, it all depends on the origin: what kind of fish caviar is in the jar. Yes, calorie content salmon salted red caviar per 100 grams is 252 kcal. Slightly less nutritious granular chum salmon caviar- 230 kcal per hundred grams. The same number of units accounts for caloric content pink salmon caviar. And here sockeye salmon eggs less dietary - 100 g of product accounts for 250 kcal. Almost identical calorie content trout caviar- 242.25 kcal. Caviar in hot weather contains 204 kcal. Sandwiches with chum salmon caviar and butter contain 224.65 kcal per 100 g. Tartlets with caviar contain 61 kcal.

To make it easier to navigate, you can count the calories you eat using a teaspoon or immediately add the nutritional value of the finished dish. One sandwich with butter and caviar contains 65 kcal, and one tartlet - 258 kcal, and 1 teaspoon of red caviar contains 8 g of product, therefore, the calorie content of the indicated volume is 20 kcal.

Red caviar is not a dietary product, so those trying to lose weight need to be extremely careful.

Can anyone resist red caviar? Especially before the New Year? A symbol of success, wealth and prosperity, as well as haute cuisine. This fish product is not just tasty, but also a very healthy delicacy.

Almost all the wealth of rivers and seas lies in the composition of these red eggs. It is interesting to know that the amount of choline in just 100 g of the product satisfies the daily need for it 6 times more! And this is not the only record.

Caviar contains: B vitamins, potassium, vitamin A, iron, selenium, omega-3 and omega-6, vitamin D, sodium, magnesium, vitamin E, calcium, copper, manganese, vitamin K, phosphorus, zinc, essential and essential amino acids, various saturated fatty acids, iodine, etc.

The same 100 g of caviar accounts for 264 kcal. Almost half of this is water, followed by proteins – 24.6 g, fats – 17.9 g, carbohydrates – 4 g.

The types of red caviar depend on the fish. According to most, pink salmon or chum salmon caviar is considered the most delicious. It has a pleasant shine and orange color, the grains are often larger than average size (4-7 mm). Pink salmon has a universal taste and is often sold in stores.

Chum salmon caviar is the fattest, and therefore has a very delicate taste. Other caviar are smaller in size (with the exception of Chinook salmon) and may have some bitterness. By the way, in chinook salmon it can even be a little spicy. They range in color from orange to burgundy. They belong to trout, sockeye salmon, and coho salmon.

The product is also divided into three types according to production technology: pressed, pressed, granular. The first type is a layer of small and dense eggs; it can be easily cut with a knife. The second is eggs with a film on them when they are not yet fully ripe. Well, we see the last type most often: all the grains are separated from each other and have an elastic texture.

The first grade is considered the best, because it is purified from blood, the types of caviar do not mix, there is no film, the salt content is up to 6%. The second grade is a mixture of fish eggs of different species, it is heterogeneous, there are clumps, the salt content is up to 7%.

The caviar of any fish of the salmon family may differ in appearance and taste, but all types provide the same benefits. Unless, of course, the jar you buy doesn’t contain a dozen different preservatives. So, the beneficial properties of fish food are as follows:

• prevents the development of cancer;
• replenishes the amount of hemoglobin;
• promotes improved brain function;
• has a general strengthening property;
• improves vision;
• strengthens the skeletal system;
• regulates kidney function;
• supports the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, dilates them;
• restores reproductive function;
• used as an aphrodisiac;
• normalizes metabolism;
• is the prevention of atherosclerosis;
• helps restore the body after surgery or illness;
• has a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
• prevents the development of rickets in children;
• stimulates the production of sex hormones;
• improves the condition of the skin;
• prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, obesity, asthma, depression, eczema, etc.

Fish eggs are an important supplier of protein and acids: they support the body of people working in northern latitudes. This is an excellent source of energy not only for northerners, but also for athletes.

Abuse of caviar will not lead to anything good, and therefore it is definitely not worth eating it in tablespoons, as in the films. Especially in combination with butter and bread: such a dish affects weight gain.

Caviar contains a lot of salt, which retains water in the body. This has a bad effect on kidney function and metabolism. A product not obtained from environmentally friendly areas may contain toxins and even mercury. Although it is in salmon eggs that their quantity is much less than in the eggs of other fish.

If you are allergic to seafood or have an individual intolerance, you should not consume caviar. If you have high cholesterol levels or vascular diseases, you should also avoid the product. Ischemic disease, tendency to edema, hypertension are also contraindications for use.

It is important to remember that you can give red caviar to children only from the age of 3. It has a beneficial effect on their growth, strengthening bones and the entire immune system. The product also has a good effect on mental work, vision and nourishes the body with important vitamins.

One of the potential dangers is the development of allergies to seafood, and therefore portions should be minimal. Contraindications for children are the same as for adults. Diabetes is especially dangerous in a child. It is better to give caviar not in its pure form, but together with other products: half a boiled egg, baked potato or omelet.

You can eat caviar during pregnancy, but it is also important not to overeat. Otherwise, the fetus may develop an allergy. During this period, the red product is healthier than the black one, but it is important to take jars without preservatives and dyes. If there is protein in the urine, you should discard caviar.

Red caviar mainly serves as a cold appetizer. It is served in small salad bowls and then placed on bread. Tartlets, sandwiches and canapes are her element. The product is added to salads, toppings for pancakes and other baked goods. Asian cuisine uses eggs for rolls and sushi (including flying fish eggs). It is also a wonderful ingredient for creating sauces suitable for fish and other seafood.

Caviar is used to decorate dishes. And not only main dishes, but also desserts. The product is best combined with vegetable oil or butter; it is served with sour cream, pancakes, potatoes, eggs in various forms, biscuits, toast, pita bread, etc. Some find delight in combination with tomatoes. Pancake cakes with caviar are one of the most interesting dishes of Russian cuisine.

The caviar collection takes place from mid-summer to early autumn. And therefore the term on the bank should be approximately the same. It is best if the expiration date is squeezed out from the inside of the lid. Better yet, give up cans and choose glass ones. It is in the tin that the second grade of product is rolled, the grains there are already burst and sometimes spoiled.

There should not be more than 6 months difference between the date of production and packaging. When turning the jar over, the eggs should remain in place; a maximum of 1-2 pieces can fall onto the lid. It is better to look at the jar through the gap to make sure there are no films or burst eggs. The grains should be transparent with one dark dot.

The easiest way to buy is by weight. You can always ask the seller to let you try the product before purchasing. The smell should be tasty, fishy. If the odor is too strong and unpleasant, this indicates spoilage. And the absence of smell indicates a frozen product.

The eggs should also be clean, transparent, without films, and easily separated from each other. The taste is not too salty, but there is a sweet aftertaste. Special attention should be given to the container in which the caviar lies: if there is a white coating along the side, the product has already been stored. Alternatively, you can ask the seller for a veterinary certificate for the loose product. If it has already expired for more than a week, it is better to look for another seller.

Such a famous and exquisite product has its own, sometimes even paradoxical, features:

1. They began to pickle the product only at the end of the 19th century, and until then it was simply thrown away along with tripe or given to dogs. It spoiled too quickly and often became a cause of poisoning;
2. One of the most original ways to check the quality of caviar is to blow on it. Several grains need to be placed on a dry plate and blown: if they move from their place, then they are fresh, and if they stick to the bottom of the plate, they are already spoiled;
3. With systematic consumption of fish eggs, you can increase your lifespan by 7-10 years;
4. Far Eastern fishermen ate dried caviar: it was one of the cheapest ways to eat;
5. The most useful caviar is considered to be that taken from fish that have already entered fresh waters for spawning;
6. There is no higher grade for this product;
7. Red caviar was included in the original Olivier salad recipe, along with hazel grouse meat;
8. About a million tons of salmon eggs are sold annually. Thus, every inhabitant of the planet (from newborns to old people) eats 200 g of product every year;
9. In the old days, red caviar was fed to newlyweds: it not only helped male activity, but also contributed to accelerated pregnancy.

Thus, caviar should be remembered not only before the holidays. In some cases, this product simply must be present in the diet, especially since it is so easily absorbed by the body. And it also gives real gastronomic pleasure!
