1. Fruit selection skills
Observe the appearance: Choose fruits with bright colors, smooth surfaces, and free of pests, diseases and breakage. Different kinds of fruits have their own unique colors and shapes, such as apples should be red and even, and oranges should be thin and smooth. Smell the smell: Fresh fruits have a certain aroma, such as strawberries should have a strong fruity aroma, bananas should have a faint sweet aroma. If the smell is weak or has an off-flavor, it may be that the fruit is not fresh enough. Pay attention to ripeness: Choose fruits that are moderately ripe and avoid overripe or overripe ones. Overripe fruits have a poor taste, while overripe fruits may affect digestion and absorption. Consider seasonality: Prioritize seasonal fruits because they taste better and have higher nutritional value. For example, you can eat more strawberries and cherries in the spring, and more watermelon and grapes in the summer.
