How to choose fresh soybeans
- Choose soybeans that are off-white, evenly colored, and have a shiny skin. Additionally, good beans will have a similar size, be firm, not mushy, not crumbly, and not soft.
- Choose beans that have a light, pleasant aroma, with a rich smell.
- If possible, prioritize buying beans after the soybean harvest or 3 – 4 months after the harvest to choose fresh, good soybeans.
- Avoid choosing beans that show signs of cracking, sprouting, being eaten by pests, or having a musty smell.
How to choose fresh pandan leaves
- When buying pandan leaves, choose medium-aged leaves, meaning they are neither too old nor too young. Choose deep green, dark, and smooth leaves.
- Choose pandan leaves that are intact, not broken or bruised.
