Many people love to eat peanuts because it is not only delicious but also rich in protein and a variety of nutrients. There are also many ways to make peanuts, we can add some peanuts when we usually cook porridge, or we can make cold peanuts or fried peanuts. It is also very delicious to make peanut butter and go with noodles or rice.
However, many people don't know how to choose when buying peanuts, and it is very likely that they will buy old peanuts, which have a hard taste and are not tasty. Today, I will teach you how to choose delicious peanuts.
First, we need to look at the appearance of peanuts. We can easily tell the good from the bad by the appearance. Normal fresh peanuts are full in appearance and bright in color, and when peeled off, they have a faint pink color, and the fruit looks plump. This peanut rice has a good taste and tastes good. On the contrary, if you buy peanuts with wrinkled skin and look unnutritious, it may be a shriveled old product, which tastes dry and hard, may contain sediment, and is not very healthy.
Secondly, we can smell the peanuts. When picking peanuts, you can grab a small handful and put it under your nose to smell it. Fresh peanuts will have a natural aroma. If you smell musty or pungent, it is likely to be expired and spoiled, or even moldy. Some peanuts may have chemicals added to them in order to look more vibrant, giving off a pungent smell, and this peanuts should be avoided to buy. As long as you smell the natural fragrance, you can buy it.
Finally, we need to observe the germ position of the peanut rice. Take a peanut and you can see that there is a white dot on each peanut, which is the germ. Divide the peanut rice in half from the middle and we can see that there is a complete germ inside. If the surface of the peanut is full, and the germ can be clearly seen after opening, it means that the water is sufficient and can germinate normally. We can even bury it in the soil and let it grow into a peanut.
However, if the germ is found to be incomplete or even dyed after opening, such as dyed red, some peanuts may be dyed in order to look good, and the pigment will penetrate into the inside of the peanut and change the color of the germ. If this is the case, it is likely that the quality of the peanuts is poor. Normally, the skin of peanuts is intact and can be buried directly into the soil as seeds.
So, how do we store the peanuts we buy home? When buying snacks, there is usually desiccant in the bag, so don't throw it away. We can put the desiccant and peanuts together, store them in a bag or airtight jar, and then put them in the refrigerator for cryogenic storage. In this way, the peanuts remain fresh and delicious every time you eat them.
