A big part of what makes a vegetable dish enjoyable is how well it was stored, prepared and cooked. One must never settle for low quality vegetables, as this could affect the overall taste of the food.

It is important to note that vegetables like other fresh ingredients should be handled with care. Here are some of the tips to bring out the delicious flavour and aroma of vegetables:

  1. Buy fresh and good quality vegetables. Avoid buying pre-cut produce as it may affect its safety, nutritive value, taste, and smell.
  2. Handling and storage should also be taken into consideration especially for delicate vegetables. Buy enough quantity only and avoid storing excess raw vegetables inside the refrigerator for so long because moisture in the fridge causes most veggies to lose their crisp texture.
  3. Cooking techniques should be done correctly to bring out the natural sweet and umami goodness of vegetables.
  4. Make sure not to overcook your dish so that the nutrients, texture, and flavor of the veggies would remain intact. Conserved vitamins and minerals by cutting or slicing properly and just a minute prior to cooking.
  5. Having considered these important tips, it should be fun to learn vegetable recipes that can be appreciated by adults and kids like this Fun Camote Carrots Fries.
