What it is for

Heat unfolds them and they link to each other: they bind, they firm, they build crust. They are one half of the Maillard reaction; sugar is the other.

Where it catches you out

Every protein has its own threshold and none of them are reversible. Egg turns at 82 °C, meat at 70, fish at 55 — once past, there is no coming back.

The knack

Distinguish fermented, heat-treated and cook-before-eating products by their labels; one storage period does not cover them all.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep unopened and refrigerated until its labelled date; after opening, wrap and use within 1 week.

Cross-contamination risk

Sucuk is processed meat; spices, processing aids and shared-line information must be verified on the brand label.

Glycaemic index

This ingredient carries no meaningful carbohydrate, so it has no glycaemic index. On its own it will not move blood sugar; what you eat alongside it decides that.
