The FoodOboz editorial team has collected useful information and will share with you a life hack that will help you check milk for quality. To use this method, you will need clean fingernails and a drop of milk.

When buying, just ask the seller to drip some milk on your nail. Then pay attention to the result: if the milk is of high quality and natural, it will retain its shape due to its high fat and protein content. If the milk immediately drips off the nail, this may indicate that it has been diluted with low-quality impurities.

If you have already purchased milk and want to test it at home, there is another simple way.

You will need a small glass of milk and a few drops of iodine. Add a few drops of iodine to the milk and watch the reaction. If the milk turns immediately blue, it could be a sign of starch. On the other hand, if the milk remains yellow, it may indicate that it is of high quality and natural.

Thus, thanks to these simple life hacks, you can easily check the quality of milk and make sure it is natural before buying it or at home.
