Hello, here we give a dummies guide to choose vegetables for buying. As a dummy, you might not know the quality of vegetables and you end up buying poor nutritioned/quality vegetables which may be at times harmful for your health. DailyStuff.org brings you a guide to know and check before buying vegetables. This dummy guide will come handy if you are staying alone and you need proper guidance to choose and buy vegetables else poor quality can be sold to you.
Here is the Guide to choose vegetables:
Tomatoes:
Tomatoes are best when they are dark red in colour, solid with small seed cavity, fleshy and smooth. Do not go in for very large tomatoes - they may be quite tasteless.
Cabbage:
Cabbage leaves should be firm,uniform, of medium size and free from worm injury.The head should only contain a few loose outer leaves. Please remember, darker the green leaves, more juice it will contain. Do not buy already cut cabbage because it will start losing Vitamin C as soon as it is cut, even if its packed.
Onions:
When you touch the onions, they should show no sign of moistness. They should be dry with thin skin. Young onions will be sweeter than older ones. Avoid onions that are soft.
Cauliflower:
Look for clean, creamy white and compact bud of flowers which are in good clusters and aren’t separated. Do not buy cauliflower that have small flowers and arent well clustered.
Garlic:
When selecting garlic, it should be big, plump and firm, tight silky skins with its paper-like covering intact, not spongy, soft, or shriveled.
Potatoes:
Look for potatoes that are free from sun-burnt (green discolouration ), smooth and unbruised When selecting potatoes, choose new potatoes for boiling and salads. They have thinner skins and are firmer.
Spinach:
Choose leaves that are crisp and have dark green with a nice fresh fragrance. Avoid those that are limp, damaged, or spotted.
Brinjals:
Smaller, immature brinjals are best. Full-size puffy ones may have hard seeds and can be bitter. Choose a firm, smooth-skinned brinjals that is heavy for its size; avoid those with soft or brown spots. Gently push with your thumb or forefinger. If the flesh gives slightly but then bounces back, it is ripe. If the indentation remains, it is overripe and the insides will be mushy. If there is no give, the eggplant was picked too early. Also make sure an brinjals isn’t dry inside, knock on it with your knuckles. If you hear a hollow sound, don’t buy it.
