How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious tắc (quất) for smoothies
- You should choose tắc fruits that are yellow ripe or yellow but still slightly green, with a shiny skin and the stem still firmly attached to the top of the fruit.
- At the same time, when squeezing, the fruit should be soft and easy to squeeze; avoid choosing tắc fruits that are hard when squeezed as these may have withered and lost a lot of moisture.
- You should not choose tắc fruits with wrinkled skin, tiny black spots, or bruises.
How to choose fresh ripe bananas
- Choose bananas by observing the stem, avoiding those with sap or latex on the stem because these are bananas that have been artificially ripened while still immature, and they will not be as sweet or fragrant as naturally ripe bananas.
- Naturally ripe bananas have a dark yellow color, with brown or black spots on the skin, soft flesh; whereas artificially ripened or chemically treated bananas may have beautiful, smooth skin but feel quite hard when lightly squeezed.
- If the bananas are naturally ripe, the flesh will be soft and fragrant; whereas if they are artificially ripened or chemically treated, the flesh will be tough, bland, or even bitter.
How to choose fresh and delicious pomegranate
- You should choose pomegranates that are large, round, and feel heavy in your hand. Avoid small ones as they are often still immature and will taste bland and sour when eaten.
- Opt for pomegranates that have slightly wrinkled skin, with a calyx that is wide open and slightly spread out, as these are older, sweet, and have more seeds.
- Additionally, to determine if the pomegranate has many seeds, select those that have seeds slightly protruding, not necessarily smooth; these are good pomegranates.
