How to choose good red beans
- When buying, you should choose beans that are bright red, not infested with pests, and show no signs of mold or unpleasant odors.
- Good beans are usually of medium size because when cooked, they will achieve better softness and flavor.
- Avoid choosing beans that are too large because these beans often do not taste good, contain fewer nutrients, and especially tend to have a slight bitter taste when eaten.
