- For bamboo shoots that have already been peeled, choose those that are coarse in shape, with evenly spaced joints.
- Fresh bamboo shoots will have bright colors, a crisp texture, and a distinct fragrant smell.
- Since fresh bamboo shoots contain a lot of water, they will feel heavy in hand, with thin, taut skin.
- Do not buy bamboo shoots that are yellowish or have dark spots, and if they have a foul smell, they should not be used.
How to choose fresh and delicious bean sprouts
- You should choose bean sprouts that have long, slender stems and many roots.
- If the sprouts are not soaked in chemicals, they will have uneven sizes, which you should select.
- It is advisable to choose sprouts with curved stems, and the outer skin of the stem should not be shiny.
- Sprouts soaked in chemicals will have short, thick stems and few roots, which you should avoid selecting.
- Do not buy if you see sprouts with unusual colors, yellow or gray, black, or with strange smells.
- To ensure the health of your family and loved ones, you can make sprouts at home using the detailed recipe suggested by TasteVN right below.
