- Drumsticks முருங்கைகாய் - hold it own hand, and gently twist with the other hand. The good ones are young and flexible and easy to twist. Old will be hard to twist. So avoid.
Method:
- Egg plant / brinjal கத்தரிக்காய் -you can see the stems. If it looks green and fresh, the vegetable is fresh. If it looks dull and lifeless, dont buy it..
- All the leafy vegetables & cauliflower - you can see if its fresh or old. For Cabbage and Cauliflower, also look at the stems. Some times these people will remove top leaves and make it look artificially fresh. But the stems will show if its old and dried. Hold it in your hand and press, if it is tough it is ok. If it is some what soft avoid that.
- Coconut – Knock on the shell, if you hear clear sound, the coconut is good. If you hear muffled sound, (like you are tapping on some cloth covered on the shell), its mostly spoiled. You can also see the kaN/eye கண் for the coconut. If its spoiled, it will look too soft... you can push lightly with your finger to see how soft it is. If you smell it you can feel the bad smell also. Then don’t select it. One more thing is there to check about coconut. That is, shake the coconut and you should hear the sound of water inside, if not do not buy it. Ok?
