How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- When choosing chicken breast, select pieces that are light pink, bright, with a shiny surface and slightly firm. Avoid buying pieces that are dark in color as they are no longer fresh.
- Choose chicken breast pieces that feel elastic when pressed, moist, dry, whole without being dry, leaking, or crumbling.
- Absolutely do not buy chicken breast that is pure white or has white spots as this indicates it has been affected by chemicals or growth hormones.
- When buying pre-packaged chicken breast that is hard to inspect closely, pay attention to the quality of the outer packaging; also, choose chicken breast pieces produced on the same day to avoid buying ones that are no longer fresh.
How to choose fresh bell peppers
- When buying bell peppers, you should choose those with a shiny, thick, smooth skin and still have the stem attached. Choose the ones that feel heavy and have bright colors as these are fresh, nutritious bell peppers.
- Avoid selecting bell peppers that are soft, feel flimsy, have blemishes, cracks on the skin, etc., as these are spoiled, damaged peppers that have lost their nutrients.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- You should choose fruits that have a bright yellow color from the stem to the tip, there may be a few eyes that are slightly green but it still has a certain sweetness.
- Pineapples that are round, short will have more flesh compared to long-shaped ones.
- Choose fruits with large, sparse eyes because this indicates the pineapple is mature and ripened naturally without being treated with chemicals.
- You can try smelling the end of the fruit, if it has a fragrant scent, you should buy it. Additionally, avoid choosing fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, because that pineapple is overripe.
