III. How to select wax apple?
Method 1: Look at the peel color. In general, the redder the peel color of the wax apple, the sweeter it tastes, especially those that are so red they look black, which are even sweeter and taste better. However, in summer, the color of ripe wax apples is mostly purplish red, while in winter the wax apples are mostly purple, so pay attention to the color when buying. In addition, if the texture on the peel is obvious, it indicates a good taste and it can be purchased.
Method 2: Look at the size. In general, the larger the wax apple, the higher the degree of ripeness, the more sufficient the moisture, and the better the taste. But if the individual sizes are similar, you can place them in your hand and weigh them; if one is a little heavier, it indicates sufficient moisture and a crisp, sweet taste.
Method 3: Look at the fruit stem. Press the fruit stem with your hand; if the fruit stem is very hard, it indicates it can be purchased. If it feels very soft when pressed, it indicates it has been stored for a long time and is not suitable for purchase. Second, you can look at the bottom; if the bottom is opened very wide, it indicates it is ripe and can be purchased.
Method 4: Taste the flavor. If tasting is allowed, you can taste the flavor; generally, the sweeter the better. Of course, this situation of tasting the flavor is not very likely, after all, one wax apple costs several yuan, and tasting just a little will not reveal much flavor.
Method 5: Look at the flesh. If you do not know how the taste is, you can first buy one and cut it open to look at the flesh inside. If the cut flesh is relatively thick and firm, and the peel is relatively thin with little sponge-like tissue, it indicates it can be purchased.
