How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh bell peppers
- Choose bell peppers that have a smooth, shiny surface, with a fresh stem still attached to the fruit.
- Pick those with bright colors and not too light, as these are fresh and nutrient-rich.
- Avoid buying peppers with black skin, water-soaked, wrinkled, or wilted.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Tomatoes that are red, juicy, and soft to the touch are delicious.
- It is advisable to choose tomatoes that still have their stems, as they are fresh and recently harvested.
- Avoid tomatoes that are wilted, rotten, or have black spots on them. Additionally, it is best to avoid tomatoes that have a sour smell.
How to choose cucumbers without bitterness
- Choose cucumbers that are bright green, uniform, and without bruises or yellowing, as this indicates that they have been stored for too long and are beginning to spoil.
- Opt for cucumbers that are long and evenly shaped, as they will be denser and crisper than shorter cucumbers.
- Good cucumbers will feel heavy, firm, and have a smooth surface.
- Avoid buying cucumbers that are swollen, large in diameter, or have a thick tail, as these are older cucumbers with many seeds and tough flesh.
