How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh durian
- Shape: Fruits that are slightly uneven in shape will be of better quality than those that are large and round.
- Stem: It is advisable to choose fruits with fresh stems and a strong aroma. You can gently press with your finger to test; if the stem feels wet, it is still fresh.
- Durian spikes: Choose fruits with spikes that look fresh, green and firm, and are well-developed.
- Durian flesh: Naturally ripened durian is very easy to separate, with a shiny yellow color, smooth and creamy consistency. In contrast, chemically treated durian is difficult to separate, and the flesh is often gritty and has a pale yellow color.
- Aroma: Naturally ripened durian has a strong and fragrant smell that can be detected from a distance. On the other hand, chemically treated durian will not have the characteristic strong aroma, and sometimes may have no smell at all.
How to choose sweet jackfruit
- For whole ripe jackfruit, you should choose fruits of moderate size, with the spikes on the skin fully opened, a strong aromatic smell, and a slight softness when pressed.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are too light, have no aroma, with spikes that are not opened, and feel very hard when pressed. They may not be ripe.
- For pre-cut ripe jackfruit, choose pieces with bright yellow segments, a strong aroma, thin skin, and less fibrous content.
- Avoid choosing pieces of jackfruit that are too pale, have no characteristic aroma, have too much fiber, or have bruised segments. They may be spoiled or have been stored for too long, and are not fresh.
