How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh aloe vera correctly
- Choose large aloe vera branches, thick and firm, with a dark green outer skin speckled with tiny white dots and a fresh white base.
- Opt for larger pieces as they have thick flesh and thin skin, ensuring more flesh remains when peeled.
- Avoid buying aloe vera that is bruised, with wilted cut surfaces and leaking yellowish sticky fluid.
How to choose fresh, juicy mandarins
- Choose mandarins that are round and evenly shaped, with a fresh, shiny green skin, and the bottom of the mandarin should have a slightly yellowish hue.
- To make the mandarins sweeter, you should select those of medium size, that feel firm in your hand, with skin that is not too rough, and the stem end of the mandarin should have thick skin and be slightly raised.
- Avoid choosing mandarins that are damaged, bruised, or those that are yellow and have lost their stems, as these may be fruit infested with pests from the inside.
