How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Strawberries
- To buy delicious strawberries, you should choose those that are uniformly colored, bright red, plump, and not bruised. Avoid choosing those that have green spots, strange spots, or black spots on the fruit.
- If you smell a light, distinctive fragrance, it indicates good strawberries; if there is no fragrance or just a faint smell, it means the strawberries are overripe or have been sprayed with chemicals.
- Fresh and delicious strawberries will have bright green stems firmly attached to the fruit, with seeds on the outside spaced apart. Avoid buying those with yellowing skins or those that have lost their stems.
How to choose fresh and delicious raspberries
- To buy fresh and delicious raspberries, you should choose those that are ripe, have a deep red color, look fresh, plump, and when touched feel firm and dry.
- You should not buy green raspberries or those that are bruised and leaking juice, as these are unripe or spoiled and will not taste good.

- Additionally, select those that still have the sharp pointed calyx intact at the top of the fruit.
