How to choose fresh, juicy oranges
- Shape: good quality oranges usually have a round and even shape, not misshapen, not one side larger than the other. The outer skin should still be fresh, especially it must still have the leaf stem, and when you lightly touch the stem with your hand, it should not fall off.
- Color: make sure to choose oranges that have a bright color, shiny green, and at the bottom of the orange, there should be a slight yellowish hue.
- Weight: choose oranges that are of medium size, and when you hold them, they should feel heavy.
For yellow oranges:
- Shape: the fruit usually has a round, balanced shape, and should not be crooked. The top should be slightly raised, with very little indentation at the top, and the bottom should be slightly indented. In contrast, Chinese oranges have a very deep indentation and are somewhat flat.
- Color: you should choose oranges that are bright yellow-orange, not too dark, with a slightly tanned outer skin that is not too shiny.
- Weight: yellow oranges are usually large, and when you hold them, they should feel heavy in proportion to their appearance.

How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious melon
- Typically, melons are best during the Spring-Summer season (from February to June). Because melons love sunlight, they will be very sweet and crispy at this time.
- When choosing melons, you should pay attention to the navel of the melon (the circular area at the bottom of the fruit). The riper and sweeter the melon, the larger and rounder the navel will be.
- You should choose melons that are of moderate size, feel firm in hand, and have fresh green stems, as these fruits have just been harvested and will be sweeter and crunchier.
- Avoid selecting melons with overly shiny skins, small size, green skins, and that do not emit a fragrant smell, as these fruits are those that were harvested early and are still immature.
How to choose fresh and delicious cucumber
- Choose cucumbers that have a bright green color, fairly even in color, without any dark spots or yellowing, as this is a sign that the cucumber has been stored for too long and is starting to spoil.
- Cucumbers should be straight, not or slightly bent. Cucumbers that are long and evenly sized are of the special core type, which will be crunchier and tastier than short and round cucumbers.
- You should choose heavier cucumbers, with smooth skins, and no bumps, and preferably smaller cucumbers as they tend to be sweeter than larger ones.
- Avoid purchasing cucumbers that bulge in the middle or have a large head and small tail (and vice versa) as these are older cucumbers, which have many seeds, are hard, and not tasty.

-
Prepare the Ingredients

-
Juicing the Fish Mint, Cucumber, and Watermelon
Gradually alternate adding cucumber, watermelon, and fish mint into the juicer to extract the juice.
Tip: Depending on your preference, if you don’t like the strong smell of fish mint and want a sweeter juice, you can reduce the amount of fish mint and increase the watermelon. -
Final Product
Watermelon and bitter lettuce juice retains the characteristic strong flavor of bitter lettuce, but you can feel the fresh sweetness of watermelon and cantaloupe. However, if the juice is quite bland (because no sugar ingredients are used), you can add a little sugar to drink, but don’t make it too sweet to ensure the inherent freshness of the juice!
How to Choose Fresh Bitter Lettuce
