How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chayote
- You should choose chayote that is still fresh, not bruised, or has bee stings, with a shiny skin and many spines.
- Additionally, you can press the fruit with your hand to determine if it is young or not. If it feels soft and easy to press, it is young; if it feels hard and slightly tough, then it is an old chayote. You should choose young chayote because it is tastier and sweeter.
- For convenience in preparation, you should choose chayote with few ridges.
How to choose fresh carrots
-
Fresh carrots should be of moderate size, with a straight and tapered shape towards the tail, smooth skin, firm to the touch, and slightly hard.
-
Choose carrots that have a deep orange color, are bright, and have green leaves tightly attached to the root.
-
Do not choose carrots with wilted or bruised tops, damaged bodies, slimy texture, or dark spots; if you press them, they should feel firm.
-
Avoid choosing overly large carrots that have thick roots and stems at the base and shoulder because these are old carrots, which will have more fibers and fewer nutrients.
