How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple

- Avoid buying pineapples that show skin turning yellow-orange or have black spots.
- Do not buy pineapples that are still green as they are very sour, and the dish will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with a pink-red skin, firm and plump as they are naturally ripe and will taste very good.
- When touched, you should feel a certain softness in the tomato, and when held, it should feel solid.
- Do not choose tomatoes that are dark red, with a hard skin as they are tomatoes that have been chemically treated or artificially ripened.
