How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good walnuts
For walnuts with intact shells
- Walnuts naturally contain a lot of oil; if purchased in Vietnam’s hot climate, they can easily leak oil, making them difficult to eat and less tasty. Therefore, you should pay attention to the freshness of the walnuts when buying and choose reputable stores that import walnuts continuously. To feel more assured, you should select stores that allow you to sample the walnuts, as the exterior shell does not indicate whether they are leaking oil or not.
- You should choose walnuts with intact shells, without any cracks or breaks, to ensure the fruit’s flavor.
- You should prioritize selecting larger walnuts as they are often tastier, richer, have better varieties, and ensure higher quality. Additionally, you should choose walnuts that are of similar sizes. Grade 1 walnuts are usually uniformly large, especially if they feel heavy in your hand, as the kernel will be fuller and denser compared to lighter ones.
- For the walnut meat that has been removed from the shell, you need to choose types that are firm and have a full kernel.
- The kernel must be intact, not cracked or broken, and still has its skin layer. When the skin layer is removed, fresh walnuts will have a creamy white color, dry and not oily.
- If possible to sample, you should choose those that are still hard and crisp, and avoid those that are soft or mushy. Also, be careful not to select any that are infested, moldy, have unusual colors, or have shriveled or oily kernels.
- You can easily buy walnuts at supermarkets, stores selling dried nuts, or order from reputable e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com.
How to choose good almonds
- Choose nuts with intact outer shells, with a uniform brown-yellow color characteristic, and a shell surface that is not wrinkled.
- It is advisable to select plump, round nuts that feel firm, with a bright color and a thin outer shell of the thin kernel, without peeling or many scratches.
- When smelling almonds, they should have a distinctive fragrant aroma, without sour or damp smells, indicating they are good quality.
- When tasting, the nuts should have a rich, buttery flavor, a light crisp texture, not harsh, not strong, and not too bland or showing signs of sourness or moisture.
- When purchasing, you should also pay attention to the origin of the almonds, avoiding nuts with black spots, cracks, insect mold, or a lot of nut fragments at the bottom of the bag.
