How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh sardines
- Fresh and best sardines are those that are still alive; you should choose fish that swim vigorously, have clear eyes, red gills, and skin without unusual colors.
- If you can’t buy live fish, you can also buy fresh fish that are refrigerated. You should pay attention to choose fish with clear, bright eyes, not cloudy and slightly bulging, and the cornea should be elastic.
- Additionally, you should choose fish with closed mouths, and when you press gently on the fish’s body, it should be elastic.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Good tomatoes have a bright red color, shiny, plump, and you can see tiny spots on the skin. Pressing lightly with your hand should feel a moderate softness.
- Additionally, if the tomato has a stem tightly attached to the fruit, it is fresh and newly picked. Smelling the tomato will reveal the characteristic aroma of ripe tomatoes.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are still green; unripe tomatoes contain toxins that are not good for the body. Moreover, if the fruit feels soft and mushy, has scratched skin, or shows signs of insect stings, it should not be purchased.
