Then loofah has so many functions, what kind of loofah should we buy in the market, and then share with you how to choose loofah:
Generally go to the supermarket or market to buy loofah, first look at the freshness and see if there is a root at one end of the loofah. If you break the root and see a lot of water, it is just picked, the skin is very light green, and it feels hard and soft, so you can buy it.
Second, look at the appearance. Good quality loofah is generally slender and symmetrical. Anyone who has planted loofah at home should have experienced it. Loofah, which is as slender as the top and bottom, means it is not old and suitable for cooking or making soup.
Third, you can smell it. Fresh loofah has a slightly bitter taste, which is brought by the loofah itself and feels very fresh.
The first ingredients are mainly loofah and eggs. If you like tomatoes or ham, you can add half diced tomatoes and half a bowl of shredded ham, which is also delicious. Wash, peel, slice or dice the loofah. Only about 2 eggs are needed. Beat into a bowl in advance and mix well for later use.
The second cold pot is preheated with cold oil, and the fire is small. Stir-fry leek and ginger, add loofah and stir-fry until the water is soft. After softening, don't worry about adding soy sauce, add appropriate amount of water, and boil over high fire. After boiling, wait for 2 minutes and slowly pour in the egg mixture. After seeing that the egg liquid is egg-flower-shaped, we put the shredded ham in, add a little soy sauce and spiced powder, stir and season, and then take it out of the pot.
The first soup of loofah and egg is suitable for summer, so it is suggested to fry it with a little oil when making soup, in order to fry the loofah soft. There is little seasoning in it, so it can be light without soy sauce or soy sauce.

In fact, the skin of loofah is the most nutritious. Many people don't like eating it. They think eating in their mouths is very astringent. If your family can accept the taste of loofah skin, you can gently wipe the skin with steel balls instead of cutting it off completely, so as to retain more nutrients.
