How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, evenly colored, intact, and not bruised. They should have a light, characteristic aroma of tomatoes.
- It’s best to pick those with the stem still attached, where the stem is fresh and tightly connected to the tomato.
- Avoid choosing bruised tomatoes or those that lack fragrance, as they may have been overripe.
