How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and quality pineapple (thơm)
- Color: you should choose fruits that have a bright yellow color from the stem to the tail; there may be a few eyes that are slightly green, but it still indicates a certain sweetness.
- Shape: Pineapples that are round and short will have more flesh compared to long ones.
- Pineapple eyes: Choose fruits with large, sparse eyes because this indicates that the pineapple is mature and naturally ripe, not soaked in chemicals.
- Aroma: you can try smelling the end of the fruit; if there’s a sweet aroma, you should buy it. Additionally, avoid fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, as they are overripe.
- Pineapple crown: The greener the crown, the fresher and more delicious the pineapple. Overripe pineapples will have a dry or brown crown.
- Touch: A good, fresh pineapple will not be too hard or too soft; when you press your finger into it, there should be no indentation.
