How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh balut
- Good balut usually has a little residue on the shell and feels heavy when held.
- You can also test by shining a light through it. If the tip of the egg does not have too much space and the yolk is full, then it is a good egg.
- Avoid buying eggs that are too light, have moldy shells, and make noise when shaken as those are spoiled eggs.
How to choose fresh and delicious peanuts
- Choose large, round nuts with a bright-colored outer shell. They should feel firm when pressed.
- The nuts should be uniform, not mixed with shriveled, rotten, or infested ones.
- Do not buy peanuts that have unusual smells or strange signs on the nut’s surface.
