- Buying mangoes is an art. Dont squeeze it hard but hold it in your hands and slightly press.. If the Mangoes are firm and its good. If its over-ripe or going bad, it will feel like watery and loose.The color of the skin is a good indicator for certain mangoes. Some mangoes will have the green color, even when its ripe, so smell it and buy.
Method:
- If you buy kutti-mangoes (unripened ones, small sized for vadu maanga to pickle it), it will stay fresh for a week. So, its better to salt it and make pickle as soon as possible. Same for Avakkai mango also. Don’t keep them for a long time. Make pickle as quick as you buy from the shop.
- Vendaikai/ Ladies Finger:
- Just press in the middle, don’t crush the end. Some shopkeepers may shout at you. If it is green and strong that is new one.
Notes:
- Carrot: Must be free from surface damages, and almost orange in colour. Check the tail portion. It should be hard, with out any bend.
- Beet root and radish see the leaf portion, if the leaves are green and fresh it is new one. Press the radish or beet root and if it is tough, you can take that.
