How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- When choosing pork ribs, you should select ribs that are pink in color, with good elasticity in the meat, and no unusual smell.
- To choose delicious ribs with plenty of meat, you should opt for ribs with small, flat bones. However, you should also avoid choosing ribs that are too small, as small ribs are certainly taken from piglets, which will not taste good and may not ensure quality.
- Currently, you can buy pork ribs at markets and supermarkets nationwide. If you choose to buy ribs at a market, you should go as early as possible to purchase freshly slaughtered, fresh ribs.
- On the other hand, if you choose to buy ribs at a supermarket, you should ask the seller to take the ribs out of the display case so you can directly observe the color of the meat, avoiding being misled by the lighting of the display case.
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapples
- You should choose fruits that have an eye-catching yellow color, sometimes with some green spots, as these are ripe and have achieved a certain level of sweetness.
- A perfectly ripe pineapple will have a sweet, fragrant smell, not too strong. When you touch it, you will feel a moderate softness, with slightly wrinkled skin.
- Limit buying fruits that are unevenly colored. If the fruit has a lot of green, it means they are not fully ripe, while fruits that are yellow but mixed with dark brown have likely overripe and are about to spoil.
