How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken
- Fresh chicken has shiny yellow skin, firm meat, and a bright pink color, without dark spots or bruises.
- Additionally, you should choose chicken that feels firm and elastic when pressed, and does not have any slimy texture or unusual liquid on the surface.
- You should avoid buying chicken that is too mushy and has a strong foul smell, as this indicates that the chicken has been stored too long and could affect your health.
How to choose good quality pumpkin
- Good pumpkins have an outer skin that is dark brown or bright green, and the surface does not show any unusual tiny spots.
- Typically, the pumpkins that can be stored longer after purchase have a stem that is about 2 finger widths long.
- You should avoid buying pumpkins that have a size and weight that differ too greatly, as those are mostly hollow inside.
