How to Choose Good Ingredients
How to choose good black beans
- For green heart black beans, choose small beans, about twice the size of green beans, with shiny black skin and light green flesh inside. For white heart black beans, choose beans that are uniformly sized, with dull black skin and white flesh inside.
- Choose black beans that have a distinctive aroma, and when you squeeze them firmly with your hand, they feel firm inside.
- Avoid purchasing black beans that have a thin white powder coating on the outside, showing signs of mold or insect infestation.
How to choose delicious purple sweet potatoes
- To buy delicious purple sweet potatoes, you should choose those that are slender at both ends and thick in the middle, with a uniformly colored skin, a bright purple skin, which may still have a layer of dirt on it.
- Sweet potatoes that have a light natural aroma when sniffed are of good quality, so they should be purchased. Conversely, if the sweet potatoes have a strong pungent smell, it indicates they have been infested and are not edible.
- You should not choose purple sweet potatoes that have scratches or show many black spots on the skin, as they may have been eaten by pests or are spoiled.
