How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Chicken
- The experience of choosing a good chicken is to look at the condition and color of the chicken meat: if the chicken skin is shiny, has a natural pink color, or if the thin skin has a light yellow color while the breast, wings, and back are slightly darker yellow, then it is definitely a good chicken.
- You should choose chickens that do not have strange smells, with skin that is not purple or bruised.
- You can gently press to check the elasticity of the chicken; good chicken will have firm meat, not soft.
- Check the breast, belly, and wings for small red spots; if there are any, you should not buy it.
How to choose delicious sweet grapes
For dried grapes:
- You should choose grapes with large, soft seeds. Good grapes have round seeds that separate easily.
- If the grapes are still stuck together, then they are wet grapes of poor quality.
For fresh grapes:
- You should choose freshly picked grapes with green, fresh stems that are not wilted, and select grapes that have bright colors with a layer of white powder on the skin.
- If the grape skin is rough, not firm and smooth, then it is old grapes that should not be purchased, or grapes with wilted, droopy stems should not be chosen as they are old grapes that have been harvested a long time and are prone to spoilage.
How to choose delicious fresh mushrooms
- You can check the quality of mushrooms by touching or smelling; fresh mushrooms have a distinctive aroma and an ivory color.
- You should choose mushrooms with bright colors, and the caps should be firmly attached to the stems.
- Avoid choosing bruised mushrooms with a rotten smell. If mushrooms leak a white milky substance, they are toxic, so absolutely do not buy them.
