In a blink of an eye, winter has come, and the climate is still very dry. Not only should we pay more attention to drinking more hot water, but also fruit. There are many fruits in winter, such as apples, pears, kiwis, oranges, grapefruits, etc., and today I want to share oranges with you. Compared with oranges and grapefruits, the fragrance of oranges is more intense and good-smelling, and the flesh of oranges is full and juicy, the taste is very good, and the sweetness is higher.
Not only can it satisfy our taste buds, oranges are also a kind of highly nutritious water, containing vitamin C, vitamin P, citric acid, and calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other mineral components. It is recognized by the people as a “good fruit for healing diseases.” Oranges can not only be eaten raw, but also can be made into a variety of desserts, which are beautiful and delicious, bringing a double enjoyment of vision and taste to our dining table.
Oranges are delicious, but the selection is a technical job. Many people choose to take them home when they buy oranges. But after peeling them, they find that the oranges are very thick, the flesh inside is very small, and there is a lot of white film. Very sweet. Therefore, when we buy oranges, we must look for the signs of sweetness and freshness so that we can pick oranges with thin skin and more delicious flesh. Oranges are on the market, let’s share with you a few tips for picking oranges, simple and practical~
First, look at appearance
1. Looking at the shape, when buying oranges, we must first choose the correct shape, not deformed. In addition, we will find that the shape of oranges can be roughly divided into two types, one is round and the other is oval. An old fruit farmer once told me the formula “Tall oranges, flat oranges, and light oranges” means that you should choose oval oranges when you buy oranges. Such oranges usually have thinner skins, full flesh, and taste sweet. juicy. On the contrary, if it is a round orange, the skin is usually thicker, the flesh inside will be relatively dry, and the taste will be a bit sour.
2. Look at the fruit navel . Many people know that buying oranges depends on the fruit navel, but they don’t know whether to choose a large fruit navel or a small fruit navel. They often get the wrong one. In fact, from experience, whether it is a large fruit navel or a small fruit navel, it has no effect on the sweetness, and it is very sweet after buying it home.
But for oranges with a big belly button, after we cut it, there will be a layer of white film covering a small piece of pulp at the position of the navel. This is actually the compound fruit of oranges, also called sub-oranges, the growth of sub-oranges It will absorb the nutrients of the whole orange, so that the sugar and nutrients of the whole orange will be reduced. Moreover, the taste of sub-orange is generally not very good. This kind of orange is not cost-effective to buy home, so when we pick oranges, we must remember to choose the “small belly button”, which is delicious and cost-effective.
3. Look at the color . In the same batch of oranges, the color will show different shades. We need to choose dark ones, because such oranges have high maturity and receive sufficient light during the growth process, which makes them more sweet and nutritious to eat. On the contrary, if the orange is light in color, it is either not completely ripe or it has been stored for a long time.
Second, feel it with your hands
1. Weigh the weight. When choosing oranges, we should not forget to weigh the oranges in our hands. We must choose the heavy and heavy weights. Such oranges are more delicious and have sufficient moisture.
2. Press a button, after weighing the weight, we can also press lightly on the surface of the orange with our hands. The good variety of oranges will be flexible when pressed, with thin skin and more flesh. And if it is too hard, don’t buy it. The peel is thick and the taste will be more sour. If it is too soft, it means it is not fresh anymore, and more water and nutrients have been lost.
Third, smell
When picking fruits, we can also distinguish their freshness by smelling them. Fresh oranges will exude a strong fragrance, which can be felt without you deliberately smelling it. On the contrary, if the fruit aroma is very light, or has a peculiar or sour taste, do not buy it.
To sum up, when we buy oranges, we must remember to choose an oval shape, with a small belly button, a deep color, a strong fragrance, and a dry to the touch, which weighs more when weighed. Such oranges have high freshness, thin skin and rich sweetness. . It looks complicated, but the real provocation is done in one go.
