 PREPARING VEGETABLE DISHES
Selecting various kinds of vegetables according to
a given menu various

Introduction

Buying fruits or vegetables may seem to be a very simple activity.

Anybody who has money can buy fruits and vegetables. If you tell a kid within
7 to 8 years of age to get vegetables, he goes to the market and buys them. But
buying vegetables or fruits in a right way does require some efforts. The work
of buying sounds to be very simple but every person should apply his thoughts
before buying them.
When shopping for vegetables, the key factors are firmness and
color. Choose those that are as firm or crisp as possible and consistent in
coloring. Unlike fruit, smell doesn’t play a big factor in a vegetable’s freshness,
although anything that smells overly sweet or sour has likely passed its prime.

 Discussion

Before you begin picking through your favorite golden delicious

apples or sorting through leafy bundles of lettuce, there are a few key things to
keep in mind. It is important to know that most commercial farms pick fruit
and vegetables well before ripeness so that they are delivered to the grocery
store at the peak of freshness. However, your senses play the biggest role in
identifying the best fruits and vegetables, and you’ll have to use your hands,
eyes, and nose.

Points to be considered before buying vegetables and fruits

1. The price of the vegetables

Price is an important factor to be considered before buying vegetables.
You must know the actual market price of a particular vegetable you want to
buy. If the sellers says that the price of an egg plant is Rs. 10 for ¼ kg, just
give a thought if the price is fairer. Then bargain with the seller regarding the
price of the vegetable. Convince him that the price is much cheaper elsewhere
so tell him that you cannot pay more. If he is not willing to pay the price then
tell him that you can look elsewhere. Then most of the seller definitely reduces
the price of the vegetable.

2. Geographical location
The vegetable stall should be nearer to your home. The price of the
vegetable is never so high and hence do not go to a distant place where you
need to travel by bus or rikshaw to get the vegetable. You simply spend double
amount to buy such a cheap vegetable. Remember that you should not spend
other expenses just to buy a vegetable. If you think that the vegetable seller
nearer to your home does not sell fresh vegetables then you can walk a little
distance and buy the vegetables. Always try to minimize costs.

3. The vegetable you need

Before buying a vegetable you must properly note down the type of
vegetables you want to buy. Some people hastily buy the vegetables that are
already kept in the house. Check out into your baskets, refrigerators or bags
properly the type of vegetables that are already bought. You must buy the
vegetables that are not kept in the house.

3|P age
 4. Quantity of buying
You must buy the vegetables depending upon the number of members in
the house and the consumption of vegetables. If three members are residing in
the house then buy the quantity that suits your needs. You must also have the
idea of total consumption in the house. Normally if three members reside in the
house the quantity that is required is ¼ kg. The vegetables should be consumed
during the day. Do not buy many vegetables in the house and stuff the fridge.
Even refrigerators cannot preserve vegetables for more than 3 days.

5. Freshness of the vegetables

The vegetables that are to be bought should be fresh. So do you buy the
vegetable that seem to be very stale. The vegetables may not be the ones that
are freshly bought from the market but they should not lose their texture. If
you are buying ladies finger then the vegetable should appear smooth when
you touch it. If the vegetable gets stale, then it becomes rougher. In this way
you have to test many other vegetables before buying.

6. Good quality
The vegetable should not be rotten from within and should appear good.
If the vegetable is rotten then usually a black pore appears somewhere. You
must view the vegetables very carefully before buying.

Tips for buying fresh vegetables

When shopping for vegetables, key factors are firmness and color. Choose
those that are as firm or crisp as possible and consistent in coloring. Unlike
fruit, smell doesn’t play a big factor in a vegetable’s freshness, although
anything that smells overly sweet or sour is likely passed its prime. As you
browse your produce aisle, consider the following:
• Bell Peppers—Bell peppers should be firm and void of any soft spots. No matter
which color
• pepper you are purchasing, look for consistency along the entire surface and
avoid any with split or broken stems.
• Cauliflower and Broccoli—Color is a key indicator of the freshness of these
vegetables. Broccoli should be a pale green and cauliflower should be an off-
white, void of any yellowing or browning. The heads should be heavy and
compact.

4|P age
• Corn—The husk of corn should be pale green and moist looking, free of any
browning or drying. Whether purchased with or without the husk, the kernels
should be plump and firm to the touch.
• Root Vegetables—Carrots, beets, potatoes, and onions should be hard to the
touch and free of any cracking or soft spots. If roots are still attached, they
should be sturdy and crisp, void of any wilting.

• Leafy Greens—Use your fingers to assess as many layers of the greens as

possible. Both the leaves and stalk of kale, lettuce, and cabbage should be
crisp, void of wilting or browning. Check for any tears in the leaves. While a few
are expected to occur during delivery, avoid any with tears that are beginning
to brown.
