How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Choose carrots that are medium-sized, elongated towards the tail, with a smooth skin, and feel heavy and firm when picked up.
- Delicious carrots will have a bright, deep orange skin, fresh green tops that are tightly attached to the body.
- Avoid choosing those with wilted tops, bruised roots, or those that show signs of browning.
- Avoid buying overly large ones with thick, bulky tops because these are older roots, have more fiber, and less nutrition.
How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- Delicious straw mushrooms are those that are still in bud form, round or cylindrical, and feel slightly firm when gently squeezed.
- Black or gray straw mushrooms will taste sweeter compared to white ones.
- Choose mushrooms that have bright colors and a characteristic aroma of mushrooms.
- It is advisable to choose mushrooms that are uniform in size for a more appealing dish.
- Avoid buying mushrooms that smell bad, are dull in color, soft or overly expanded.
