How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- Choose pieces of meat that are bright red, with fine, smooth fibers, have the characteristic smell of beef, and the fat should be light yellow and not sticky when pressed, with good elasticity.
- It is advisable to buy large pieces of meat, rather than pre-sliced meat as it is difficult to distinguish fresh meat.
- If the meat has grains like rice inside the fibers, it is very likely to be tapeworms, and you should absolutely not buy it.
- Do not choose beef that is slimy, has an unpleasant smell, lacks elasticity, or shows black spots and greenish areas. This could be old beef, or beef from sick or dead cows.
How to choose fresh and delicious sprouts
- Fresh and delicious sprouts will be small in size, the stem will have a very light green color, becoming darker as it reaches the leaves.
- If you grow sprouts yourself, usually after about 1 week of care you can harvest and process them, do not harvest sprouts too early or too late.
- Do not choose sprouts that have roots growing additional new roots, leaves that have turned yellow, and stems that are unusually large and shiny.
