How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good strawberries
- Choose large, bright red strawberries that are juicy and still have their stems, with fresh green leaves.
- Do not choose overripe strawberries as the inside may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid choosing strawberries that are dull in color, misshapen, or spoiled. Additionally, those with green skin and many spots should also be avoided as strawberries will not ripen after being picked.
How to choose fresh and delicious lemons
- Fresh lemons are usually small, have thin skin, and are juicy. When touched, the skin feels smooth, not rough.
- Juicy lemons will feel heavy in hand, and when gently pressed, essential oils will be released, giving off a pleasant aroma. If the lemon has a pungent smell, it is likely one that has been sprayed with chemicals.
- You should choose seedless lemons for better juice quality.
How to choose delicious Vietnamese mint leaves
- You should choose fresh Vietnamese mint plants with vibrant green leaves and a cool, fragrant scent, with a characteristic spicy taste.
- Avoid selecting Vietnamese mint plants if the leaves show signs of yellowing, wilting, or bruising as it will affect the final product.
Distinguishing between mint leaves and Vietnamese mint
- Mint leaves: Leaves grow oppositely, are oval-shaped, have serrated edges, and are hairy on both sides. The aroma is strong, with a spicy and cool taste.
- Vietnamese mint leaves: Leaves are elongated, have serrated edges, are not hairy on the leaf surface, and are usually smaller than mint leaves. The aroma is lighter than mint leaves, with a less pungent spicy flavor.
