How to choose fresh chrysanthemum (tần ô)
- You should choose fresh bundles of chrysanthemum that have a dark green color, feel soft when touched, and are not bruised or have eaten leaves. Because these plants are still young, they will taste sweet and have a fragrant smell.
- In addition, the best chrysanthemum is freshly picked, usually sold every morning at the market or bought at supermarkets with a purchase date close to the production date.
- Do not choose aged chrysanthemum plants; when pressed, they feel hard and crunchy because these vegetables are old and will not taste good.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- It is advisable to choose tomatoes that have a taut, plump skin, bright red color, and are uniform in color as these are usually ripe and fresh.
- Tomatoes with green, fresh stems still attached to the top are often fresh and recently harvested, so they will taste sweeter and crisper.
- Do not choose tomatoes with wrinkled skins or those that feel soft and mushy when pressed lightly, as these are typically overripe or have been harvested for a long time.
