These are foods that seem the same but actually different from each other

News24xx.com - There are many kinds of food we can encounter all over the world. However, some foods look similar with one another that we cannot differentiate them. Here are some foods that seem the same but actually different from each other.

1.       Mayonnaise and Sour Cream

At a glance, the two look similar as both of them have creamy texture. But they are actually different. Sour cream is made of fermented cream without any seasoning. On the other hand, mayonnaise can be made by mixing oil, egg yolk and vinegar.

2.       Muffin and Cupcake

Those who love baking may be able to differentiate muffin from cupcake. Appearance-wise, the two look similar, but the texture is different. Muffin is denser and drier compared to cupcake. In addition, cupcake can be decorated with topping.

3.       Pancake and Crepes

It is actually easy to differentiate pancake and crepes. Pancake is thicker and fluffier because it uses baking soda or baking powder. The texture is also softer. Meanwhile, crepes are thin, flat and crunchier.

4.       Juice and Smoothie

Juice and smoothie are both made from fruits and vegetables. The difference is that in juice the pulp is filtered, which makes it more liquid. On the other hand, smoothie is made by mixing it with milk and ice, making it thicker.

5.       Cucumber and Zucchini

The difference between cucumber and zucchini can be seen from their exterior. Cucumber has cold and waxy exterior while zucchini has rough and dry exterior. In terms of taste, cucumber tends to be sweet while zucchini tends to be bitter. Also, cucumber has more seeds than zucchini.

6.       Tortilla and Prata

The two foods come from different countries so they are obviously different. Tortilla comes from Mexico while prata comes from India. Tortilla is made from corn flour and water while prata is made by mixing fat into it. In addition, prata is easier to cut than tortilla.

7.       Ice Cream and Gelato

This pair is probably the hardest to differentiate because they are so similar. The basic ingredients to make ice cream and gelato are the same. However, gelato adds more milk and less cream and eggs. It is churned slower, uses colder temperature, and incorporates less air, making it denser than ice cream.
