How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good beef brisket
- Choose pieces of meat that are tender, small, and not too fine.
- Press your hand into the meat; if it is elastic, does not stick to your hand, and has no bad smell, then it is fresh meat.
- Female beef is usually tastier than male beef; if you can buy young beef, that’s even better.
- Avoid buying beef that has a pale green color, with round white spots between the muscle fibers and a bad smell. Additionally, parts of the meat that are dark red, with dark yellow fat, yellow bones, mushy texture, and feel sticky to the touch should not be purchased…
How to choose good pineapples
- Choose fruits that are bright yellow from the crown to the base. There may be a few slightly green eyes, but if the pineapple is uniformly yellow, it will be sweeter.
- Opt for round, short pineapples as they will have more flesh compared to long, cylindrical ones.
- The skin of an overly ripe pineapple will be wrinkled. Good, fresh pineapples will not be too hard or too soft; pressing your finger into them will not create a dent.
- Observe that the larger and sparser the eyes of the pineapple, the better the fruit will be.
- Smell the crown; if it has a sweet aroma, it is advisable to choose it, avoiding those with little or no smell as they are unripe. Also, do not choose those with a slightly sour smell, as they are overripe.
