How to choose fresh tomatoes
- When buying tomatoes, you should choose those that are firm and plump with bright red color, evenly colored and giving off a mild characteristic aroma.
- Freshly picked good tomatoes will have the stem tightly attached to the top of the fruit.
- Prioritize buying tomatoes of medium size, not too big and not too small, because overly large tomatoes will have thick flesh, making them less tasty when cooked.
- Avoid choosing tomatoes that are bruised, ripened unevenly, have fallen stems, or have signs of pests or wrinkled skin, and feel soft and mushy when touched.
Where to buy sticky rice flour?
