How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chayote
- You should choose chayote that is of moderate size, light green color, and feels firm and heavy when held.
- Fresh chayote will have a leafy stem that is bright green and still tightly attached to the fruit.
- Do not choose chayote that smells of chemicals or is bruised and not intact, as this indicates poor quality chayote.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Fresh and delicious tomatoes are those with bright red skin, plump, evenly colored, intact skin, and no scratches.
- You should choose tomatoes that still have the stem attached, the stem should be fresh and not wilted, and have a mild, pleasant aroma.
- Do not buy tomatoes that are soft and mushy, with wrinkled skin, as these tomatoes have been around for a long time and are no longer fresh, affecting the flavor of the dish.
