How to buy delicious, meaty passion fruit
- Choose passion fruits with smooth, shiny skin, looking plump and large.
- Delicious passion fruits will have a mild, pleasant aroma. The darker the fruit, the riper it will be, and the better the taste.
- When held, they should feel heavy, have a moderate firmness, and not be spongy or too soft.
- Avoid buying passion fruits that have strange smells, have irregular coloring, or are uniformly colored but have greenish-purple or green-yellow hues. These are likely not fresh or not ripe yet, and they will taste very sour with little juice.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh yellow oranges
- Choose oranges that have a bright yellow color, fresh appearance, with a slightly bumpy skin, and when gently squeezed, essential oil will be released.
- Good oranges will have a balanced shape, feel heavy and solid when held. Choose fruit with a small knob at the bottom; the larger this knob, the riper the orange and the sweeter it will be.
- Avoid oranges with wrinkled skin, dark spots, or signs of bruising.
How to choose fresh pineapples
- Choose pineapples that have an eye-catching yellow color, sometimes mixed with green spots. These are the sweet and ripe pineapples.
- It is best to buy those that have a slightly round shape and are shorter since they will have more flesh than the long ones.
- Choose pineapples with larger eyes, as these are older, naturally ripened fruits.
- If the pineapple is ripe, it will feel moderately soft when touched, and the skin will be slightly wrinkled.
Where to buy dried red artichoke flower tea?
- Dried artichoke flower tea can be found in stores selling beverage ingredients, places that sell various types of dried tea, or you can buy it on reputable e-commerce sites.
- Additionally, you can also buy fresh red artichokes, filter the seeds, wash them clean, and then dry them in the sun or use a dehydrator!
