Ingredients for Taro Smoothie For 2 people
Taro 300 gr Purple sweet potato 1 tuber Condensed milk 2 tablespoons Fresh milk 100 ml Dried coconut 2 teaspoons Mint 2 leaves Sugar 1 tablespoon
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose taro that is not fibrous
- You should choose round tubers that are shaped like chicken eggs. The outer skin is rough, has many roots, and dirt still clings to the skin. The size of the taro should be medium, not too large or too small.
- Choose tubers that feel light when picked up because such tubers usually have less water and a higher starch content.
- Pay attention to the eyes of the taro, choose tubers with many holes as they will be tastier than those with few holes.
- Avoid buying deformed tubers, those that are too smooth on the outside, and feel heavy when picked up as these tubers often contain more water and will not be tasty when eaten.
How to choose fresh and delicious purple sweet potatoes
- Choose those with a round or elongated shape.
- Avoid choosing potatoes that are too large or too small, as large potatoes are often old, fibrous, while small ones are still young and will have a bland taste.
- It is advisable to select potatoes with a layer of powder or soil on them, along with a few roots, as these are freshly dug potatoes.
- Choose potatoes that are still fresh, firm, and not bruised or cracked.
- Avoid selecting potatoes that are pitted or have black spots.
