How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose crispy and tasty apples
- To buy crispy, sweet, non-spongy apples, pay attention to the outer color. If the fruit is deep red, not mottled, and has tiny white dots, it should be selected.
- Gently tap the outer skin; if the sound is loud and clear, feels heavy, and the apple is firm without being soft, it is a good crispy apple.
- It is best to choose apples that still have the stem intact, with a fresh stem firmly attached to the body of the fruit, as these are freshly picked from the tree and have not been stored long.
- Avoid choosing fruits with brown spots, bruises, or many scratches on the outside.
How to choose fresh and delicious watermelon
- To select a sweet, juicy watermelon, you need to observe the size and shape of the exterior. Choose a watermelon that is evenly round, symmetrical at both ends, and not significantly lopsided.
- A good watermelon will have a yellow or cream-colored bottom. These are fruits that have ripened for a while; when they have been in contact with the ground for a long time, they will have such colors.
- Additionally, pay attention to the skin; if the watermelon has clear, distinct stripes that run evenly, and when you tap it lightly, it makes a ‘thump’ sound, then you should choose to buy it.
- You should not buy watermelons with fresh and green stems, as they may be immature, harvested too early, which means they will have less water and not be as sweet as ripe ones.
How to choose fresh and guaranteed delicious mango
- To make yogurt with fruits more delicious, you should choose ripe mangoes with uniformly yellow skin and a distinctive fragrance.
- Good ripe mangoes will have shiny, smooth skin, feel heavy in hand, and when gently pressed, you will feel the softness when the mango is ripe.
- Note that you should not choose fruits with dark spots, bruises, or wilting on the outside, as they may be about to spoil or have been affected during transport.
How to make Fruit Yogurt

Prepare the ingredients
First, wash the watermelon thoroughly, then peel off the outer skin and cut it into small square pieces for easy eating. During cutting, also remove the seeds.
Next, wash the grapes, remove the stems, then use a knife to cut the fruit in half and use a fork to remove the seeds inside.
Peel the mango and dragon fruit, then cut them lengthwise, and after that, cut into cubes. Similarly, peel the apple and pear, remove the seeds, and cut them into small cubes to match the size of the watermelon for a more appealing presentation.
With 2 spoons of basil seeds, soak them in 4 tablespoons of mulberry syrup so that the basil seeds, when expanded, will have a more beautiful color compared to soaking in plain water. If syrup is not available, you can substitute it with water.
Note- Apples and pears can easily turn brown when peeled, so you should prepare these two ingredients last. Alternatively, you can soak the cut apples and pears in diluted saltwater to prevent browning.
- For a tastier and cooler fruit yogurt, you should place all the ingredients after cutting in the freezer refrigerator for 15 – 20 minutes.

Fruit Salad with Yogurt
You layer the fruits into a cup, the order of layering depending on your preference. You can place watermelon in the cup first, then add a spoonful of yogurt, and repeat with the remaining fruits. One layer of fruit alternates with one spoonful of yogurt.
Once you have finished layering the fruits, on top you add a spoonful of yogurt along with two tablespoons of condensed milk, then pour all the soaked basil seeds on top to finish. You can also garnish with mint leaves for an attractive touch.
