How to choose delicious fresh starfruit
- You should choose starfruits that are still fresh and green; when pressing the outer skin, it feels hard, not soft.
- Choose starfruits with evenly spaced veins, about the size of a fist, not too big, not too small.
- Fresh starfruit feels heavy in hand, firm, not infested or having unusual black spots.
- Do not buy overripe starfruits; they will lose their taste when cooked.
- Avoid choosing starfruits that have unusual black spots on the skin, are soft and mushy, or leaking juice.
Above are detailed instructions for 3 ways to make starfruit salad that are sweet and sour, simple yet appealing to eat. TasteVN hopes that these useful tips will help you have more delicious meal ideas every day. Wishing you success!
