How to choose fresh and delicious apples
- When choosing apples, you should select those with dark red color, even color, a natural fragrance, a green stem, and tightly attached to the fruit. Especially, fruits with tiny white specks will be even sweeter.
- You should choose apples of moderate size, not too big or too small, with a balanced shape, and slightly rough skin will taste sweeter than overly shiny ones.
- When buying apples, you should gently tap the fruit with your hand; if you hear a loud, clear sound, feel it is firm and heavy, then these are the crispy and delicious apples.
- You should avoid buying bruised apples, those with black spots on the skin, or any scratches because they will easily spoil and quickly affect other apples.
- Avoid buying apples that lack fragrance, have no stem, or withered stems. They are often apples that have been stored too long or have been soaked in chemicals.
