How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose quality oats
- You should choose whole oats, which are usually coarse grains and not broken to ensure they retain their nutrients.
- You should choose oats with a characteristic aroma, avoiding any musty smell or dark brown spots.
- Additionally, you should buy oats from reputable establishments that offer packaging, brand, and reliable origin.
How to choose the right pumpkin
- A good pumpkin usually has an orange-yellow color, mixed with dark green, with yellow flesh and a characteristic sweet aroma, and relatively chewy texture.
- You should choose heavy, firm pumpkins with smooth skin, a stem about 2 – 5cm long, and still slightly fresh rather than wilted.
- Avoid selecting pumpkins with short stems as they tend to rot faster; you should especially not buy pumpkins with scratched skin, which feel soft and rough when touched.
