How to choose fresh pumpkin
- Depending on your preference, you can choose to buy round pumpkins, bottle gourds, or sweet pumpkins to cook this soup.
- When buying pumpkin, you should prioritize selecting fruits that feel heavy, firm, are not bruised or rotten, and do not have deep scars or dark spots.
- If you do not plan to use the pumpkin immediately after purchasing, you should choose those with a stem longer than 2cm. These will last longer without fear of spoiling quickly.
- Do not buy fruits that show signs of being soft, mushy, slimy, or have a soft and bruised stem.

How to choose delicious peanuts
- Delicious peanuts are those that are large, round, and uniform in size, not mixed with shriveled, rotten, or worm-infested ones.
- Additionally, good peanuts will have a shiny outer shell. When you press the peanut with your fingers, it should feel firm and plump.
- Do not choose peanuts that have an unusual smell or abnormal marks on them.
