How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good quality quail eggs
- Choose quail eggs with a sturdy shell, slightly rough, and with a white powdery layer on the outside. In contrast, eggs that have been stored for a long time will have smooth shells and may have black spots or mold due to moisture.
- When using a flashlight or in sunlight, hold the egg in your hand, exposing only the two ends, and look at the egg from one side while shining a light on the other. If it is a fresh egg, it will have a translucent pink color with a pink spot in the middle.
How to choose fresh and delicious beetroot
- Choose firm beetroot, not soft, with smooth skin and still has leaves.
- Additionally, prioritize selecting beetroot with a round bottom as these tend to be sweeter, while those with a flat bottom are usually less sweet.
- Do not buy beetroot that shows signs of wilting, has water leaks, and does not have an intact skin layer, as these are often spoiled and not good for health.
