How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh bananas
- You should prioritize buying ripe bananas but with some green and yellow ones.
- Choose bananas that have black spots, wrinkled peels, yellow skin with pink spots, and occasionally have black stripes on the peel.
- Naturally ripe bananas will have a uniformly ripe stem, body, and bunch (even though there will be some green bananas).
- You should avoid buying yellow bananas with a hard stem and sometimes still slightly green, as they are artificially ripened bananas or bananas that have been bruised.
How to choose quality honey
- Regarding color, you should observe the overall appearance, and choose bottles that have a uniform color; if the honey is dark in some places and light in others, there is a high chance it has been mixed.
- To choose good honey, you can test by dropping a few drops into a glass of water; if it does not dissolve and settles at the bottom, it is real honey, and you should buy it.
- Additionally, you can also test by placing a green onion leaf in it for 5 minutes. If the leaf wilts after being removed, then your honey is real; if not, it is fake and you should not buy it.
How to choose good quality cinnamon powder
- The powder should be light yellow and finer, with a fragrant smell, spicy and sweet taste, and less astringent (as it has been peeled), with more essential oils than unpeeled cinnamon powder.
