How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- It is best to buy tomatoes with bright red, evenly colored skin.
- Good tomatoes have a light, characteristic fragrance, feel firm and heavy in hand.
- You can identify good tomatoes by looking at the stem; ripe and fresh tomatoes usually have green stems that are tightly attached to the top of the tomato.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that have a mix of red and green or have black spots on the skin; these are often very bland and not tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Use your hand to check the eggshell; if the shell feels smooth and glossy, it means the eggs have been stored for a long time. Fresh eggs, just harvested, will have a rough, slightly bumpy shell.
- Shake the egg gently; if it does not make any noise, it is a good egg. If the egg rattles loudly, it has been stored for a long time and is about to spoil.
- Avoid buying eggs that have a foul smell, those with cracks on the shell, or even leaking liquid from inside.
