How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- When buying chicken breast, choose pieces that are light pink, bright, with a shiny surface and slightly firm. Avoid pieces that are dark in color as they are not fresh.
- Choose chicken breast pieces that feel elastic when pressed, moist, not dry, without leaking water, and the meat is not falling apart.
- Absolutely do not buy chicken breast that is pure white or has white spots as these are affected by chemicals and growth hormones.
- When buying pre-packaged chicken breast that is hard to observe closely, pay attention to the quality of the packaging, and also buy chicken breast pieces produced on the same day to avoid purchasing stale pieces.
How to choose fresh ripe mangoes
- You should choose mangoes that are ripe and feel firm in your hand; when you press gently, you can feel the softness and smell the characteristic aroma.
- Moreover, you should observe the stem; good mangoes have a slightly sunken stem.
- You should not choose mangoes that feel too soft or are bruised, as they will not taste good and will lack nutrients.
How to choose fresh spinach
- You should choose green, fresh bunches that still have their roots.
- You should select leaves that are light green rather than dark green, as these younger leaves are more nutritious and not too tough to eat.
- You should not choose plants with broken stems and leaves, damaged, or wilted, as they contain less water for blending and are no longer fresh.
Where to buy peanut butter?
- You should choose to buy peanut butter that is unsweetened or sweetened with honey, sugar substitutes, or dates instead of peanut butter with refined sugar!
- You can easily find peanut butter at supermarkets, organic food stores, or on e-commerce sites.
- Additionally, you can also make healthy peanut butter at home following the guide from TasteVN.
