How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh black chicken
- Choose black chickens that are compact in size, with skin that has a characteristic black color.
- It is advisable to select chickens that feel firm and elastic to the touch, without any unusual odors.
- Avoid purchasing chickens with mushy or soft meat or that lack elasticity, as these may be water-inflated chickens.
How to choose fresh pumpkin
- Select pumpkins that are sturdy, feel heavy in hand, and do not have any scratches or deep bruises on the outside skin.
- Choose pumpkins with a stem longer than 2 finger lengths, and that are not soft or bruised, as these will store longer.
- Avoid selecting pumpkins that are crushed, rotten, or show signs of being soft and slimy.
