The three basic checks
- Colour: bright and even colour is usually a good sign.
- Firmness: most vegetables should feel firm, not soft or wrinkled.
- Weight: a vegetable that feels heavy for its size usually holds more moisture.
Vegetable by vegetable
Tomato: smooth, firm skin with a gentle give. Avoid cracks and dark spots.
Brinjal: shiny skin and a fresh green stem. A dull skin often means an older brinjal.
Lady finger: small to medium pods with a clean snap at the tip. Large pods can be fibrous.
Bottle and ridge gourd: firm and heavy, with skin free of soft patches.
Onion: dry, papery skin with no sprouts or soft spots.
Potato: firm, with no green patches or sprouts.
Leafy greens: perky leaves with no yellowing or sliminess.
