How to pick okra

1. Look at the length: Bibi your middle finger. The smaller and more tender the okra, generally 3 to 5 days after flowering, picking, delaying the increase of crude fiber extraction will lose the value of food. The length of 5 to 10 cm is best (people's middle finger is generally about 8 cm long, can be used for reference), and then the long okra is only suitable for planting or for feed.

2. Pinch hard and soft: gently squeeze by hand, do not feel hard, a little toughness is good. The harder the okra shows, the older it is, the seeds inside it have become stiff, and the fleshy fibers are too much to taste without a unique scent and a soft texture.

3. Check the surface: should be flat and wrinkle free, no spots and scars. The color is bright and uniform, and the green okra is preferably green or bright yellow. The surface is not fresh or shrinking. Dark hair and hair are old. Okra's surface has a layer of fine hair, which is a sign of tenderness. If the fluff on each ridge is present, it means that it has not been squeezed.

4. Fragrance: There is a natural fragrance of fresh okra, just like the smell of grass when it rains. Both old and stale okra lack scent.

5. Hand-scratch is broken: This method is uncomfortable for melons and fruits - nails are gently stroked, and fresh juice is the most fresh.
