Did You Know-Sour Cream
When is the last time you looked at the bottom of the sour cream foil? I know I never did, however, yesterday I saw this when I opened mine. Did you know you were suppose to smooth out the top of the sour cream after using it to make it stay fresh longer?
UPDATE: After checking into this, I found the reason you smooth it is because it prevents the whey from separating.

I had no idea but it makes sense; the small the surface area, the less loss of moisture.

I Googled it and it said it prevents the whey from separating.

Interesting. I’ve quit using it and use my favorite yogurt instead, Nancy’s Organic whole milk probiotic plain yogurt. It’s perhaps pricier than sour cream but I love the consistency, thickness and high probiotic count.

Thank you! This tip is right up there with one I learned not to long ago; punch in the holes in the side of Al foil box to keep it rolling out evenly.

Is that for yoghurt too Diane? I buy the large cartons of Greek Yogurtt and the next day after I open up the that carton of yoghurt, there is about an inch of water on top of it. I always stir it but it looks strange.

I only read it was sour cream and cottage cheese Linda. I would still try it, it couldn’t hurt to try.

OK, thanks Diane. I have heard that ricotta cheese is better nutritionally than cottage cheese – do you agree or find any difference in taste?

I personally love cottage cheese, I only used ricotta in Lasagna.

I like cottage cheese too Diane. I can eat it plain, no fruit or anything in it. But I have read that ricotta cheese had more calcium in it, so better for your bones.

I eat cottage cheese plain too, but not crazy about ricotta plain. Personal preference, if you like ricotta, more calcium is good!
