How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh passion fruit
- Choose passion fruits that have a uniform dark purple skin, slightly wrinkled, large size, and a dry stem.
- Ripe passion fruits usually have a light, characteristic aroma; the stronger the smell, the better the fruit. Conversely, if the fruit smells rotten or sour, it should not be chosen.
- If the fruit feels heavy, has smooth skin, and is still green, it indicates that the passion fruit is still immature, with thick skin and little pulp.
- You can check the pulp’s density of the passion fruit by holding it and shaking it gently. A juicy passion fruit will feel slightly heavy when shaken, and it will seem dense inside.
How to choose fresh lemons
- Fresh lemons are usually small, with thin skin and plump. When touched, the skin of the lemon feels smooth, not rough.
- Juicy lemons will feel heavy in hand, and when lightly pressed on the skin, essential oils will be released with a pleasant aroma. If the lemon smells pungent, it is likely one that has been sprayed with chemicals.
- You should choose seedless lemons for better juice quality.
How to choose good mint leaves
- It is advisable to buy mint plants with fresh leaves, vibrant green color, and a cool, aromatic scent with a distinctive spicy taste.
- Avoid choosing mint plants with yellowing, wilting leaves, or bruises as they will affect the final product.
Distinguishing mint leaves from Vietnamese balm
- Mint leaves: Leaves grow oppositely, egg-shaped, with serrated edges, and fine hairs on both sides. Strong aroma, spicy and cool taste.
- Vietnamese balm leaves: Leaves are elongated, with serrated edges, no fine hairs on the leaf surface, and are usually smaller than mint leaves. The aroma is lighter than mint leaves, and the spicy taste is not as strong.
