How to choose fresh ripe bananas
- You should choose a bunch of bananas that are not uniformly colored (with both yellow and green fruits) and have some dark or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are uniformly ripe with dark yellow skin.
- Natural ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has certainly been soaked in chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, with a soft texture. In contrast, chemically treated bananas will feel slightly firm, hard, have a bitter taste, and a sour flavor.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good blueberries
- Prioritize choosing berries that are blue or dark purple, firm, and have a thin layer of bloom on the outside.
- Do not buy berries that are leaking or cracked.
- Additionally, it is advisable to buy blueberries from reputable imported fruit stores or supermarkets to ensure quality.
How to choose fresh strawberries
- Choose large, bright red, juicy strawberries that still have their caps and fresh green leaves.
- Avoid selecting overripe strawberries as their insides may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid choosing faded, misshapen, or spoiled strawberries. Additionally, those with greenish skin and many spots should not be purchased as strawberries will not ripen after being picked.

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Grapes
- Shape: Choose grapes that are not too large, and observe if there is a powdery coating on the skin, as this indicates a good and fresh bunch of grapes.
- Stem of the bunch: Freshly picked grapes have green and firm stems. Grapes that have been stored for a long time will have brownish-black and withered stems.
- Color: Each type of grape has its own characteristic color (green grapes, black grapes, red grapes, etc.). However, ripe grapes will have taut and shiny skins.
- Avoid choosing bunches of grapes that have a few bruised grapes or insect bites, as this can easily spread to other grapes.
