How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose crispy delicious apples
- You should choose apples that have a uniform red color, without spots, especially those with tiny white dots as they tend to be sweeter and more fragrant.
- Delicious apples are those with a moderate size, balanced, not too big nor too small, with a slightly rough skin rather than too smooth or glossy.
- Avoid buying apples that have black spots or signs of bruising or scratching.
- Good, juicy apples will be fairly round, moderately firm, and when held, they feel heavy; when you tap them, they make a loud sound, indicating the flesh is very crispy. Ripe apples have a gentle, distinctive, and pleasant fragrance.
How to choose fresh celery
- You should choose celery with bright green leaves, white tender stalks, and both the stalk and leaves must be thick, with round and uniform stalks.
- Avoid choosing celery with overly plump white stems, as this indicates that it has been excessively fertilized.
- You should also not choose celery that has a yellowish color, with soft, wilted leaves and stems because this indicates that the vegetable has been harvested for a long time and is no longer fresh.
