How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose plump, tasty peanuts
- You should choose large, round peanuts; if you press your nail into the nut and it feels firm and plump, it is a good, nutritious nut.
- Choose peanuts with a light brown shell, all nuts should be uniform, without any shriveled or spoiled nuts mixed in.
- You should not choose peanuts that have mold or show strange colors to ensure safety.

How to choose fresh ripe bananas
- You should choose a bunch of bananas that are not uniformly colored (some yellow, some green) and have dark brown or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are uniformly ripe with a dark yellow peel.
- Naturally ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has definitely been soaked in chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, with a soft texture. In contrast, chemically treated bananas will taste slightly astringent, hard, and have a sour taste.
Where to buy dried dates?
- You should buy dried dates that are still in bunches instead of buying separated ones to ensure the delicious taste and nutritional quality of the fruit.
- You can buy dried dates at large supermarkets, imported ingredient stores, organic shops, or on reputable e-commerce websites.
