How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Vọp
- You should choose vọp that still has its shell, is cone-shaped, and tightly closed; when picked up and shaken, you should hear a sound and the shell should not be too dry.
- Prefer to buy round vọp, not too large, as these are the vọp that have more meat and are firmer.
- Avoid choosing vọp that can easily be detached from the shell by hand or vọp that has been shelled, with dry shells, as these are vọp that are dead or have been kept for too long, making them less tasty.
