Hi there,
Everyone knows fruits are good for you. And staying in Singapore, we are really spoilt with choices in the abundance of fruits varieties that are available to us at our fingertips. You can see fruits importing from Taiwan, Africa, Chile, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, USA, Korea, Japan, etc. But how do you choose and buy fresh fruits is a really useful skill.
Fruits are very versatile, you can eat it fresh or cook it in savoury dishes, or desserts. Boil it with soup, like apple fish soup, or pear and almond soup or even papaya soup during confinements, down to making an apple pie or dip strawberry in chocolate.
However do you sometimes have problems when you are in the supermarket choosing from a whole tray or basket of fruits, not knowing how exactly to choose the good ones.
Of course we all know that we choose fruits that are usually free of bruises, cuts, rotten bits, and blemishes, on top of it, it got to be firm & shiny. Some of us also gauge whether the fruit is good by detecting the scent of the fruit, as this are usually hints of whether the fruits are sweet too.
