Selection of five-finger peach
If you want to cook a good soup, the choice of ingredients is very important. As a housewife who loves to make soup with five-fingered peaches for a long time, I have mastered a set of buying skills:
1, look at the color. Generally, when choosing five-fingered peaches, it is better to choose brown ones.
2. Pick the texture. The thick black five-fingered peach has less ingredients, so it is better to choose something with fine taste and fragrance.
3. Smell it. There is no sulfur smell, and a good five-fingered peach has a faint coconut fragrance.
4, personally prefer those without slices, because without slices, the fragrance inside will not be distributed, so that the soup will be more intense.
