How to choose delicious sấu (a type of fruit)

Ripe Sấu fruit can be eaten fresh or made into Sấu jam to treat itchy throats, loosen phlegm, and clear the voice. When steamed with sugar, it makes a refreshing drink.

To choose fresh, delicious green sấu fruit, carefully select each fruit individually. Avoid picking those with bruised or damaged skin.

The best sấu fruit has a slightly rough skin. Smooth, shiny sấu fruits are not as tasty because they are too unripe.

Choose green sấu fruits with thick flesh to get more sour pulp.

Choose sấu fruit that is just ripe enough; the flesh will be thick, and the skin will be slightly rough, not smooth and shiny, because sấu fruit with smooth, shiny skin is unripe and will spoil when processed.

Alternatively, you can choose young, tender sấu fruit because at this stage the flesh is still thick and the seeds are small, so you only need a few fruits to make a delicious soup. Overripe sấu fruit might be so ripe that you only need to peel it, almost reaching the seed, and it's less sour.
