How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should buy beef that is red with white streaks, and the fat should be bright yellow.
- Press the meat with your hand; it should feel firm, not mushy, and have good elasticity.
- Avoid buying beef that is pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, small spots, and a slimy feel.
- You should avoid beef that has a foul or fishy smell as it may be old.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- You should choose fruits that are bright red, firm to the touch, and of moderate size.
- Naturally ripened tomatoes usually have a red color and firm skin.
- Avoid buying fruits that are bruised, mushy, or overly soft, as these may be spoiled tomatoes.
How to choose fresh and delicious celery
- You should choose celery with bright green leaves, white tender stalks, and thick leaves, with round and even stalks.
- Avoid choosing celery with unusually plump white stems as this indicates over-fertilization.
- You should also avoid celery that is yellowing, with soft and wilted leaves and stems, as this indicates it has been harvested for a long time and is no longer fresh.
