How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good carrots
- You should choose carrots that are straight, smooth-skinned, and bright orange in color.
- Additionally, when holding the carrot, it should feel heavy, firm, and hard, not soft, bruised, or misshapen. Avoid choosing overly large carrots, as they often have more fiber and the sweetness decreases.
How to choose good bell peppers
- You should prioritize buying bell peppers with a bright, shiny skin, thick skin, and still have fresh green stems.
- At the same time, when you hold them, they should feel heavy, firm, not soft or show signs of insect infestation.
How to choose good potatoes
- You should choose potatoes that are yellow because they will be sweeter and have more nutrients than white potatoes.
- Additionally, the skin should be smooth, without wrinkles, mushiness, deep spots, or black eyes. Absolutely do not choose potatoes that have sprouted, as they can be toxic when eaten.
