How to choose fresh and delicious pears
- When buying pears, you should choose those that are round, evenly shaped, with smooth skin, few spots, and light color. The skin should not have bruises or dents.
- Buy pears that have a deep stem at the bottom, with a small and smooth stem. These are the pears that are juicy, sweet, and crunchy.
- Do not buy pears with large, shallow, and non-round stems as they contain less juice and are very bland.
- Avoid choosing pears with unusual shapes, dents, rough skin, many brown streaks, black spots, and darker colors.
Where to buy green bean starch?
- Green bean starch is a type of white, fine powder that is odorless and resembles corn starch or tapioca starch.
- After cooking with green bean starch, the dish will be thick like jelly and have a chewy, crispy texture similar to agar.
- You can buy green bean starch at reputable food stores, supermarkets, or find it on e-commerce sites.
- Additionally, if you cannot buy green bean starch, you can use tapioca starch as a substitute so that the pear jelly can set.
