How to choose delicious ingredients
How to choose delicious nuts
- You should choose to buy nuts that are intact, with uniform color, not darkened, and have no moldy smell or softness.
- For cashews, you should choose round, plump nuts, firm, with uniform size, and no black spots on the shell.
- Delicious almonds are those that are round and plump, with thin skin, not peeling, and bright white in color.
- For pumpkin seeds, you should choose seeds that are not shriveled, slightly yellowish white in color, of moderate size, with clear edges around the seeds that are not broken.
- White sesame seeds should be chosen for their white color, not turning yellow or gray, and not moldy.
- Good sunflower seeds will have a natural color, not too shiny, with a light natural fragrance, and clear white stripes.
How to choose delicious honey
- Delicious honey, when dropped into a glass of water, will not dissolve but sink to the bottom in the form of round beads. This is real honey.
- You should choose honey that has a layer of foam like pollen sticking to the mouth of the jar, has a light yellow color, and a natural fragrance.
- Do not choose honey that has a layer of white foam appearing on the surface. This type of honey is harvested early, contains a lot of water, so the quality of the honey is poor, easily ferments, causing the honey to spoil.
