How to choose delicious bananas (sugar bananas)
- Delicious sugar bananas are those that are just the right size, not too large, with yellow skin and many dark spots, slightly dry, and thin. If buying green bananas, choose a bunch that is dark green or has some spots turning slightly yellow, with firm and evenly curved fruit.
- Avoid choosing bruised or mushy bananas. The lighter the green color of the banana peel, the more immature the banana is; it will be hard to ripen and won’t taste good when ripe.
- Bananas that have been treated with chemicals have thick, yellow skins, firm stems, and ripen evenly across the bunch.
How to choose delicious sweet potatoes
- You should choose sweet potatoes that are round or elongated without any waist, dents, and when pressed lightly, they should not be too hard. Avoid choosing those that are cracked, bruised, blackened, or have deep spots.
- If the sweet potato is sweet, fragrant, and fluffy, choose one that has a layer of powder or dirt on it. When you cut a thin slice from the top of the sweet potato, you will see a light orange color and sap oozing out.
- Do not choose overly fresh sweet potatoes because when they are fresh, they will contain a lot of water and will not be sweet.
How to prepare sweet potatoes without browning
- After peeling the sweet potatoes, soak them in a bowl of salted water mixed with lemon or vinegar for about 5 – 10 minutes, and the sweet potatoes will not brown anymore, ensuring that the dish is both delicious and visually appealing.
