How to choose tasty, less bitter starfruit (cà na)
- To make the juice from starfruit tastier, you should choose fruits that are oval in shape, instead of round or having a very pointed end.
- Pay attention to select starfruits that are larger than your fingertip; do not buy very small starfruits as they tend to be bitter.
- Choose starfruits with shiny, thin skin, thick flesh that has a mildly sour taste mixed with a bit of bitterness, and the skin should be a light green color rather than dark green.
- Avoid buying starfruits that have uneven sizes, are bruised, or have turned yellow; you should especially not buy those with rough, non-shiny skin.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pineapple (thơm)
- Good, fresh pineapples will not be too hard or too soft; pressing your finger into it should not create a dent.
- You should choose pineapples with large, sparse eyes, and the greener the crown of the pineapple, the fresher it is.
- A ripe, good pineapple will have a very fragrant smell. Pineapples with a dry crown or those that have turned brown or have a slightly sour, fermented smell are overripe and should not be bought.
- You should also avoid choosing those with little or no smell as they are not ripe yet.
How to choose fresh carrots
- To buy fresh carrots, you should choose those that are new and just harvested. The skin should be bright orange, smooth, and the green tops should still be fresh.
- You should select carrots of moderate size, avoiding those that are too large, as larger ones often have a thick and woody head, which means they are older, fibrous, less sweet, and contain fewer nutrients.
- Do not choose carrots that are soft, misshapen, have many scratches, bruises, or wilted tops; these are typically old carrots or those that have been damaged during transport.
- For better safety, you should buy carrots from reputable places that are highly rated for product quality!
