How to choose fresh and delicious potatoes
- You should choose potatoes that are yellow as they will be tastier and more nutritious than the white ones.
- You should not choose sprouted potatoes or those with green skin, as these contain harmful substances for health.
- Good potatoes are those that feel firm in hand, with a smooth outer skin, not bruised or with strange spots.
- Do not buy potatoes with deep dents or scratches, as these will spoil quickly and cannot be stored for long.
How to peel potatoes without itching and turning black
- The most effective way is to use gloves when peeling potatoes, as this will limit the exposure of potato sap to your hands.
- Additionally, you can briefly roast the potatoes on the stove to dry the skin a bit; this also limits the sap from leaking out.
- Moreover, keeping the potato dry also reduces the spread of potato sap and alleviates itching.
- After peeling the potatoes, you should immediately soak them in a basin of cold water or water mixed with a little salt. However, with this method, you should cook them right away; otherwise, the potatoes will lose their flavor and become bland.
- You can also soak the peeled potatoes in cold water mixed with a little vinegar. This method significantly reduces the formation of black spots.
- For potatoes that have already turned black, you can briefly boil them with a little fresh milk. This method can remove the formed black spots and give the potatoes a pleasant milk scent.
How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Choose eggs with thick shells, not too large; they are usually fresher than those with thin, large shells.
- If you notice that the eggshell is too smooth and shiny, those eggs have been stored for a long time and may negatively affect your health.
- For eggs with a hard outer shell, check if there is a thin layer of powder covering the shell; if so, they are fresh eggs.
- To check if the eggs are still fresh, you can shake them lightly; if there is no movement, the eggs are fresh; if there is strong movement, the eggs are old.
