How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh strawberries
- Good strawberries will have a characteristic fragrant smell; on the contrary, those with only a faint scent may have been sprayed with many chemicals during cultivation.
- Quality strawberries usually have a bright red color and are juicy. Those with a dark red color are likely to have been mixed with lower-quality fruits by the seller. Do not buy fruits with green spots, as strawberries will not continue to ripen once picked like other types of fruit.
- Be cautious of overly juicy fruits that are too large, as they may be filled with water inside. If there are black spots, it means they are starting to rot.
- It is advisable to choose fruits that still have their stems and leaves intact. If the stem has dried or turned yellow, these strawberries have likely been on the shelf for a few days and are not fresh.
How to choose delicious oats
- You should choose whole oats, which are usually unprocessed and not broken.
- You should buy oats from reputable places and well-known brands with trustworthy origins.

Notes when cooking strawberry oatmeal
- Oatmeal is rich in nutrients and fiber, which helps you feel full for a long time. To lose weight, you should combine it with exercise, drink plenty of water, or consult a diet from a specialist or doctor!
- You should choose rolled oats, not finely ground oats, as they can be unappetizing.
- You should adjust the amount of water when cooking oatmeal to avoid the porridge being too watery or too thick.
- For rolled oats, the ratio is 1 part oats to 5 parts water.
- For instant oats, also known as broken oats, the recommended ratio is 1 part oats to 2 parts water.
