How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chayote
- Fresh chayote is characterized by having a fresh stem, a shiny skin, not wilting, bruised, or with any signs of insect bites.
- It is best to choose chayotes that are mostly green, still have a layer of fine hair on the outside, and select those with fewer grooves for easier preparation.
- Avoid buying chayotes that are too yellow and feel hard when pressed, as these are mature chayotes, which will be tough and bland in taste.
How to choose fresh pig heart
- Fresh pig hearts are those that have a dark red color, a smooth and shiny surface, and a thin membrane adhering to the heart muscle.
- It is advisable to choose hearts that have a certain elasticity when pressed with your hand and still have fresh blood, without any leakage.
- Avoid buying hearts that are darkened, pale, or have clotted blood, and that emit a foul smell, as these are hearts that have been kept for too long or from pigs that died of disease.

For the pig heart you bought, use a knife to cut it in half, then place it in a bowl of salted water, rub and squeeze it vigorously, then rinse it several times with clean water, and finally cut the heart into small pieces.
