- Prioritize pieces with clearly defined muscle fibers, a dry surface, and a good elasticity when touched.
- Do not choose pieces that are pale, purple, or have an unpleasant smell when sniffed.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Delicious tomatoes usually have bright red skin, a smooth and shiny surface, and a faint characteristic fragrance when sniffed.
- You should buy fruits with fresh green stems that are tightly attached to the tomato for the best taste, juiciness, and sweetness!
- Absolutely do not choose fruits that are green, have a speckled black surface, and leak juice when pressed.
