Attachment: Selection method of bamboo

1. Check the freshness. If the color of the calyx under the stem and stem of a mangosteen is light green and there is no dry wrinkling or blackening, it is a fresh mangosteen.

2. Pinch the fruit shell. Gently pinch the fruit shell with your hand. If the sunken area can be repaired immediately, the shell has an elastic feeling, indicating that the bamboo is fresh. If the fruit shell is sturdy and not damaged, it is inconvenient to store it for too long. This type of bamboo is not recommended for purchase.

3. Several pedicle valves. The more petals there are at the bottom of the bamboo, the more pieces there are in the fruit. The more pieces there are in the fruit, the smaller the kernel. This type of bamboo is good. Therefore, when buying bamboo, it is important to choose one with more stems and petals.
