What is Buttermilk?
- Buttermilk is a type of milk that is fermented after being separated from the fat during butter production. Therefore, it has a liquid form and a very distinct sour taste, quite different from the yogurt that you use daily.
- This type of milk can be consumed directly or used in dishes to enhance flavor, especially in baked goods like cookies, pancakes, and sweet bread or added to some batter for frying, used as a base for soups or salad dressings.
How to choose good walnut seeds
- Walnut seeds come in many different types such as Australian, American, British, Chinese, Vietnamese walnuts, etc. Therefore, depending on the different usage requirements, you need to pay attention when choosing.
- Walnut seeds can easily become oily when exposed to hot weather, making them very unpleasant to eat. Therefore, you should buy walnuts from reputable places with continuous imports or try them to check the quality of the seeds inside.
- It is advisable to choose walnuts that are intact in their shells, not broken.
- Additionally, choose seeds that are larger in size as they are usually tastier and have a fragrant flavor.
- Prioritize choosing seeds that feel heavy in hand, as they are often full inside and denser than lighter seeds.
- For shelled walnuts: Choose those that are firm, full of flesh, and have a creamy white color. Besides, the kernel must still have its outer layer intact and not be oily.
- If possible to sample, you should choose those that are still hard and crunchy, avoiding those that are soft, mushy, or moldy.
