“The young glutinous filling is now rounder, bigger than a month ago. Biting and eating, the pulp was very thick. These are natural forest fillings, a specialty of the countryside, very clean and safe, without chemicals,” Phuong said. Currently, 1kg of green sticky rice fillings at the beginning of the season, Phuong sells for 50,000 VND/kg. Customers buy 2kg, she sells 95,000 VND. Because it’s just the beginning of the season, many people come to the store, see delicious fillings, and immediately order them for processing. Green filling at the beginning of the season is loved by many housewives “Customers who buy green fillings at the beginning of the season usually use a knife to smash the fruit, then store it with fish or meat. Because green fillings are young, the seeds are very tender. Filled with fish and meat stock, the sour taste is very delicious, but it is not acrid,” Phuong said. According to Ms. Phuong, the main harvest season must be nearly 2 months away. At that time, the filling will be ripe. There are 2 types of fillings, which are green fillings and black fillings. These types of fillings are grown a lot in the northern mountainous provinces. If the green fillings have green skin, the black fillings are dark purple. Both types of fillings are diamond-shaped, very delicious and can be used to prepare many dishes. At the beginning of the green filling season, although the selling price is still high, many housewives still rush to order fillings to eat. “There is no such fruit in the city, but only in the northern mountainous region. Therefore, seeing fillings at the beginning of the season, every housewife buys 1-2kg. Like my house, I like to marinate fish sauce. Just halve the fillings, add some delicious fish sauce with a little sugar, and eat deliciously. But many people stock it with meat, fish, and make apricots. In general, there are many ways to eat with fillings.” This small trader revealed that every day she sells from 30-50 kg of fillings at the beginning of the season. “With translation like this, many people buy online. They buy fish stock and meat stock so that they can eat less for the whole week, so they don’t have to go to the market many times and still have delicious food every day.” As far as Ha Dong, but a housewife named Thanh, 28 years old, when she saw the first season of the season on the online market, she immediately ordered 2kg to eat, even though she had lost 30,000 VND to ship. However, as long as there is filling at the beginning of the season, she will have less cravings. Fillings can be combined and processed into many dishes, such as braised with fish, meat, sticky rice Green fillings have a fleshy, fatty taste “My wife and I both like to eat green fillings and black fillings. With green fillings, I usually stock with copper perch. In turn, arrange 1 filling on the bottom of the clay pot, one layer of fish. Then put the soy sauce in the fish pot and cook on low heat until cooked. Very strange, fish stock with fillings, fish is not fishy. Perhaps the filling will take away the fishy taste of the fish. Eating fish has a rich, delicious taste of fillings. Everyone in my family loves this dish. Or if I’m bored with fish stock, I’ll put it in my mouth with bacon, “she said. Even, when buying green fillings, Ms. Thanh also beat it slightly. Then she roasted the chicken with fillings, adding a little water to infuse the spices. Finally, chop some ginger leaves and mix well to eat. Not only does she like to eat green fillings, but Thanh is also addicted to black fillings, although this type of filling cannot be processed as many dishes as green fillings. “With black fillings, I often make sticky rice with sticky rice fillings. Eating sticky rice with fillings gives a strange feeling, both fat and fleshy mixed in sticky rice seeds. This housewife said that she really wants to learn how to salt filling like the Tay people so that she can eat fillings all year round, but she doesn’t know how. “I have studied salt a few times but have not been successful. Because the processing of salt fillings has too many meticulous stages. Perhaps because the salting technique is not correct and the preservation is not good, there is no filling for the whole year,” she admitted.

Illustration The filling of this dish is not too picky. I usually grind the shoulder meat with dried onions, then mix it with finely chopped scallions, marinate some delicious fish sauce, main noodles, and pepper. If you want to add more “taste”, we should mince a little more young leaves mixed with meat. After letting the filling soak in the spices for a while, we can wrap the patties. There is an interesting thing, both guise leaves and river bones have different color characteristics of two-sided leaves. One side is dark green, one side is lighter in color and the petiole is quite hard. When wrapping the rolls, we should turn the light green side in, and the dark green side out so that the patty has a nice color. Spread a leaf, we put the spoonful of filling just enough with the leaf and then roll it evenly. After rolling the patty, the smart housewife often takes the leaf stalk to tighten the patty so it doesn’t fall apart. Put the pan on the stove, wait for the oil to be hot, then gently put the fried rice in it. Note that you should put the part with the edge of the leaf rolled in first. Remember to fry on low heat and turn it over with your hand so that the patties are evenly cooked. When the sausage is cooked, take it out on a plate with greaseproof paper and place it on a flat plate. Lot leaves, river bones eaten with rice and vermicelli are all suitable. Pick up a piece of golden, stretchy spring rolls, dip into a bowl of fish sauce mixed with lemon pepper and chili, we slowly enjoy. The flavor of the fragrant patties brings up the taste of the guava leaves, the river bones, the soft and fatty texture of the meat… it’s a real treat. If eaten with vermicelli, the dipping sauce is as light as the bun cha dipping sauce. Some people prefer grilled basil leaves because they don’t like the characteristic scent of river bones. However, with vermicelli with fresh bamboo sticks, the river bone cake is really delicious. This is also the “attractive” dish of some bun cha restaurants in Hanoi. In addition, river bone pork rolls are also combined by housewives with rice paper soup. The bowl of rice paper soup has a completely new flavor and color when it is dropped a few pieces of pork loin leaves on top. Cha la lot, river bones are not only made with pork, mothers also create a cute variation with beef patties. To make the patties sweeter and softer, we should blend pork with beef or mix diced pork fat into the filling. After rolling cha with guise leaves, river bones, we can bake it on a charcoal stove. When the leaves turn yellow, the meat is soft, and the fat is secreted out of the patties. Remove the patties from the blister, soak in a bowl of sweet and sour dipping sauce and pickle, we enjoy with vermicelli. If eaten with rice, beef patties with guise leaves, river bones just need to be dipped with salted fish sauce sprinkled with pepper. Although it is a simple dish, it has its own special flavor. Sometimes, I ask myself, does anyone still remember the taste of the dish with guise leaves and river bones?

Family meals for 4 people are varied with a variety of dishes. Start the new week with a tray of rice including shumai with tomato sauce, fried green beans with garlic, boiled chayote. Reader Quach Tuyet shared with Zing: “The cost of each meal is about 250,000 VND”. Changing the menu with pork rib soup cooked with pickles, braised chicken with ginger, fried eggs, boiled vegetables is a suggestion for you. Meals with easy-to-buy ingredients, simple ways to help you do not waste time thinking about what to cook today. The frugal menu for the family’s summer meal can include clam soup cooked with spinach and melon, sautéed squash with garlic, and roasted meat. Add a plate of salted eggplant to eat together to reduce boredom and immediately have a decent tray of rice for the family to gather. If you are busy, you should salt the eggplant in large quantities and store it in the refrigerator for long-term use. When ideas are stuck, housewives can show off their talents with a menu including salmon salad with vegetables, bitter melon soup cooked with shrimp, mixed fried squid, and boiled water spinach. For the salad, you need to sauté the salmon with pepper, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Lettuce, pear, apple, chopped avocado to mix together. The sauce includes 3 tablespoons of roasted sesame sauce, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Another menu with red catfish cooked in sour soup, deep-fried fish, gourd stuffed with eggs, deep-fried beans. To make a stuffed gourd, you need to separate the yolk and the white of the egg. The gourd is cut in half and the intestines removed. Then you put the steamed egg whites first. About 5 minutes later, you continue to pour the yolk on top and steam until cooked. Bitter gourd soup cooked with calamari, braised pork ribs with pineapple, boiled squash, and fried bitter gourd with eggs is a nutritious meal that helps strengthen resistance during epidemic days. To reduce the bitter taste of bitter melon, after peeling, you can wash it with salt water. The combination of salmon with orange sauce, papaya pork leg soup, okra with soy sauce sauce, asparagus sautéed with garlic makes a delicious tray of rice for family members. With many elaborately prepared dishes, this can be a weekend meal for you to treat the whole family.

“At this time, in addition to the fresh lotus seeds in Hue, which are in season, the ponds and lotus ponds in the countryside also begin to harvest seeds. If fresh lotus seeds in Hue cost 170,000-190,000 VND/kg, the original lotus seeds cost only 100,000-120,000 VND/kg. The lotus seeds from the countryside are as fragrant and fragrant as the Hue lotus seeds,” said Tran Thi Hanh, a small trader selling fresh lotus seeds at Vo market, Ha Dong. Because it is the fresh lotus seed at the beginning of the season, it is sold during the epidemic season, so this year, the price of fresh lotus seeds at the toad markets is quite soft, attracting many housewives to order. “At the beginning of the season, the price of fresh lotus seeds is still high. A little more lotus at the end of the tool, the price of lotus seeds will decrease to 80,000-90,000 VND/kg. That’s why many housewives buy fresh seeds from the countryside to make lotus tea, nut milk or leave sticky rice, cook tea to cool down,” said Hanh. Because many people like to eat, fresh lotus seeds at the beginning of the season are quite popular. Buyers buy at least 1kg, many buy 5-7kg and put them in the refrigerator to eat gradually. According to Ms. Hanh, there are many ways to preserve lotus seeds to eat year-round and still be delicious, but you can follow these 4 ways to store lotus seeds until the next season. Dried lotus seeds Hanh said, there is a simple way to store fresh lotus seeds to eat all year round, which is fresh lotus seeds that do not need to be washed after being purchased. Just peel off the shell, get the white lotus seed kernel. Use a toothpick to take the lotus heart. “Next, bring the lotus seeds to dry in the sun 3-5 times (or dry) until dry, then store them in a jar with a tight lid. From time to time, during use, you can bring lotus seeds to dry in the sun to avoid mold, “Ms. Hanh said. Frozen fresh lotus seeds When buying fresh lotus seeds, the housewife does not wash but peels off the seed shell, takes the white lotus seed kernel and uses a toothpick to get the lotus heart. After that, divide the purchased lotus seeds into small pieces, store them in plastic boxes, plastic bags or put them in vacuum bags and then put them in the freezer for later use. The easiest way is to freeze fresh lotus seeds in the freezer compartment As for the refrigerator, it can only be for about 10 days when the lotus begins to darken. Every time you take out the lotus seeds to use, take each box or bag, gradually defrost and cover with boiling water. Then cook normally. Lotus seeds are still pure white even when stored in the freezer. Steam fresh lotus seeds and put them in the freezer There is another way to preserve fresh lotus seeds that many housewives have recently suggested is to steam them and then freeze them to eat gradually. “Many housewives who buy their own lotus seeds think that if fresh lotus seeds are stored in the refrigerator for a few days, they will become dull, and the seeds will decrease in sweetness. As for fresh, but frozen, sometimes it is still mixed with rough seeds, not delicious. But if steamed, it’s 100% fleshy, white, fragrant, not dull, very convenient because when you need to eat tea, it cooks very quickly,” this person shared. Specifically, prepare a pot of water and steam the lotus seeds above, until the lotus is ripe. Do not stir while the lotus is still hot to avoid crushing the seeds. Wait for the lotus seeds to cool completely, then put them in a freezer box. This way can be stored for several months to a year. When you need to cook lotus leaf rice, lotus seed tea, longan tea, … just cook other ingredients and then add lotus and it will still be soft, fleshy, and fragrant like fresh lotus. More sophisticated, you can steam lotus seeds before freezing Soak in dilute salt water, then quickly bare and freeze According to Ms. Hanh, there is a way to store fresh lotus seeds to eat all year round, which is applied by many people, which is to buy fresh lotus seeds and wash them twice. Then, soak in diluted salt water for 10 minutes, then take out and wash again. Bring the water to a boil, add a teaspoon of salt. Then put the lotus seeds in the ceiling for 3 minutes. Keep a basin of very cold ice water ready to take out the lotus, then put it in a bowl of ice water to soak for 10 minutes. At this time, remove the lotus seeds to a basket to freeze. Doing this, the whole year in the lotus seed cabinet does not darken. When cooked, it still has a fragrant lotus scent. The lotus seller affirms that preserving fresh lotus seeds by the above methods can keep lotuses all year round. There are opinions reflecting that fresh lotus seeds are frozen to freeze, but according to Ms. Hanh, whether or not the lotus is shy is due to the lotus variety and lotus soil, not the way it is preserved. “Even if the fresh lotus is frozen in the freezer, it’s okay, boiled it is still beautiful and delicious like a fresh lotus,” she shared. In addition, Ms. Hanh also noted, when buying fresh lotus seeds to store food all year round, housewives should buy old, round lotus seeds, do not choose long, cracked seeds. These lotus seeds are usually delicious, not shy, fragrant, very sweet and chewy.

In addition, I also soaked a few pots of crocodile water for the whole family to drink in the summer.

Xuan Huong was born and raised in Vietnam. Then she immigrated to America. Currently, she enjoys the housewife life, taking care of her family and unleashing her passion for all kinds of quince in her garden. Ms. Huong shared: “ Before, I planted a lot of flowers, I like to plant for fun because my house is quite large. At first, I did not grow Quynh but planted a variety of varieties such as roses, chrysanthemums… However, realizing that other flowers take a lot of time to care for, prune, and water daily, I decided to choose primrose, which is both easy to care for and blooms brilliantly. I usually focus on taking my kids to school, cooking, and spending more time with myself “. Previously, she also tried to grow many different types of flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses… However, most of the flowers she planted need a lot of time to take care of. Therefore, she has researched and chosen to plant varieties of rhododendrons, flowers that bloom brilliantly but don’t take much care. Her garden is therefore always lush and impressive. A corner of rhododendrons is blooming brilliantly. Ms. Xuan Huong beside the blooming sunflowers. Initially, Ms. Huong planted a few varieties of rhododendrons and found this to be a suitable variety for warm climates. The tree also has many colors, flowers bloom beautifully, is durable and does not require much care. Up to now, Ms. Huong’s garden has more than 200 different types of Quynh. The more I grow, the more I love it, so I don’t stop buying more of my favorite varieties to plant. Among all types of Quynh, my favorite is Quynh sen (German Empress) because the flowers bloom for the longest time compared to other types of Quynh. Each flower can bloom for about 7 days while other types of rhododendrons only last 2-3 days. The color of the flowers is similar to that of Vietnam’s lotus bud, so every time Quynh blooms, she misses her hometown more. A brilliant garden corner, showing off her fragrance with the types of Quynh that she loves. The characteristic of Quynh is that it likes light sunshine, under a sheltered place, little watering, dry soil.

Flowers are also quite diverse in color. In her spare time, Ms. Huong often walks around the garden, with time on the weekend she will take advantage of watering more fertilizer. She often plans with a periodic irrigation schedule. On average, she fertilizes flowers once a month. In winter, she gives the plant a break without fertilizing. In the summer, she watered every 3-4 days, in the winter because it was cold, the plants kept moisture well, so she only watered once every 10 days. The owner of the garden shares the secret of flower care: “If I want flowers to bloom beautifully, I usually add bloom booster to promote more flowers. In terms of soil, I plant cactus soil or potting soil that is easy to drain. I don’t like to water a lot, if the soil is moist enough, the plant can grow well. “. Quynh is a flower that does not need much effort to fertilize, does not water a lot, sometimes adding fertilizer periodically is enough to enjoy the brilliant beauty of the flowers. In her free time, Xuan Huong often takes her children to the garden to take care of the sunflowers, learn about nature, and get closer to the trees.

Pork is considered a basic ingredient of Asian cuisine. In many ways of processing, roasted dishes win the hearts of diners.

Hang the meat in the coal bowl, at 220 o about 45 minutes and then rotate, leave for another 45 minutes to cook evenly, crispy skin. Housewives can try roasting meat in an oil-free fryer, just regularly check with a sharp stick until the meat is crispy enough. When the meat is cooked, take it out and let it cool for about 15-20 minutes, cut it into small pieces about 1 cm and enjoy. The finished product still retains its softness and is not dry inside. Meat dishes can be served with rice vermicelli or rice paper rolls, adding a cup of chili garlic fish sauce or chili salt. PV (St)

Hien said that these were completely fresh rock crabs that her family members moved from her hometown in Nam Dinh to Hanoi for weekly sales. These crabs are carefully selected by her family members from her hometown, filtered and cleaned and then canned. Each box is usually packed 2.5 ounces. This small trader also advertised: “Although this is a cultured stone crab, the house was cleaned, separated from shells, split bibs, star fruit bags, especially no additives, no preservatives, no mixing with rice bran and self. canned grinds should eat well and lots of meat and bricks are delicious. Each 1 kg of rock crabs my family sells for 75,000 VND, divided into 4 boxes. Each box includes 1 bag of crab bricks. If you eat 2 kg of crab or more, you will ship for free ”. The field crabs are torn, washed and ground right at the market Ms. Hien also affirmed that the crabs are very delicious and can be kept in the freezer for 12 months. When eaten, the quality is no different from raw ground crab. “Frozen ground crab is easy to process, convenient and has a stable price. This type of crab can help housewives process many delicious dishes such as crab soup cooked in a hot pot or cooked with a variety of vegetables depending on the season and preferences of each family ”. According to her, customers who buy frozen crabs are mainly housewives in the city. They usually order at least 1kg to cook a crab dish on rice or eat with vermicelli, with thinly molded cakes. Along with rock crabs she sells frozen field crabs, up to tens of kilograms per day. On hot hot days, the number of sales she sells is 3 times higher than normal days and she does not sell crabs. Explaining why the price of crab is at least half cheaper than the market, Ms. Hien explained: “Crab is collected from farmers in the countryside, and my family does not have live crabs available. Besides the crab season, there is an outbreak of Covid-19, so it is cheap. Like last year, we have to sell ready-made crabs of 100,000 VND / kg ”. However, many small traders on the internet market sell frozen rock crabs, pre-ground frozen field crabs at low prices, startling However, according to a reporter survey, the price of pre-ground copper crabs is for sale online at a price that is 1/2 to 2/3 cheaper than the actual selling price in toad markets. For example, at Ha Dong toad markets, Tan Da market, Vo market, Van Phuc market (Ha Dong, Hanoi) on May 9, the price of 1kg of live crab is sold at 170,000-190,000 VND. At wholesale market 365, live crab with the lowest price is 150,000 VND / kg. Bringing this question to Ms. Tran Thi Phuong, 46 years old, a small trader specializing in selling crabs in Ha Dong market, she affirmed: “There has never been a story of live crabs selling for less than 150,000 VND / kg. Because, to have 1kg of pre-ground crab clean, you need to buy 1.3-1.4kg of raw crab. Thus, the crab price must also be calculated from 200,000-230,000 VND / kg “. “On the internet market, small traders keep advertising frozen crabs, frozen ready-made copper crabs but only cost 75,000-80,000 VND / kg, making sure that they are not genuine crabs, much less crabs. live fresh, “she stressed. Meanwhile, the price of live crab at the market is twice as expensive Many people suspect that it could be a western crab or crab imported from Cambodia, Thailand (illustration). Ms. Phuong also revealed that the frozen copper crabs, frozen pre-ground crabs are being sold at cheap prices on the internet market, most likely that the crabs with broken legs, broken legs, sick, peeled, leave bibs only to keep. The meat is then grinded. Or that is the western type crab or the ground crab imported from Cambodia. Because only these two types of crabs can be sold for a very “soft” price, only 60,000-70,000 VND / kg. The trader also warned that he has just entered the heat wave in the early summer, but there are many types of crabs sold in the market. However, not all sellers guarantee good quality at affordable prices. In fact, many small traders for profit try to import Western copper crabs or imported copper crabs with genuine copper crabs. Therefore, consumers should not be too greedy for cheap but be trapped. “In general, it’s money. Cheap crab will not be a standard crab and ensure quality. Not to mention wanting to eat delicious crab soup, housewives never buy packaged or canned frozen crabs. Because it is convenient, but the quality is not guaranteed and there are many potential risks of poisoning because it is not known how long these crab boxes are kept in the refrigerator. The seller himself may not know if the crab has been thoroughly washed and removed the dead crab before grinding ”, noted Ms. Phuong.

Some of the benefits of tomatoes can be mentioned as: Improve eyesight, prevent cancer, brighten skin, good for hair, reduce blood sugar, promote good sleep, keep bones strong. .. Especially tomatoes contain low cholesterol, saturated fat, sodium and calories, so many women use them in the weight loss menu. You can eat raw tomatoes sandwiched with sandwiches, salads, sauces, smoothies, and even soups. However, not everyone knows how to choose tomatoes to ensure the quality. As a result, many people often buy old, even crushed, and rotten tomatoes. In fact, to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes is not difficult, you only need to consider the following 4 points: Observe the fruit shape When choosing tomatoes, observe the shape of the fruit carefully. Choose fruits that are similar in size, rounded in shape, have a shiny shell, are not stamped or have scratches. These are usually thick, juicy fruits. In contrast, the fruit has a crooked shape, unbalanced, scratched on the surface, and has a thick skin to the touch, it has little water and a bad taste. Especially, do not choose the type with corners, edges, strange shape because it can be the type that is well-done. Consider the color Tomatoes can be reddish with a little yellow color because the surface of the fruit has different time exposure to the sun. (Illustration) Because each fruit surface location has different time to receive sunlight, the color of tomatoes is often inconsistent, may be reddish with a little yellow or red but with a little green. If a tomato has an eye-catching, very uniform red color, but looking closely at this color is unnatural, it’s best not to buy it because it may have been sprayed with ripe sprays. Use your hand to shape the fruit Use your hand to gently squeeze the fruit, the firmness of the tomato can reflect the quality of the fruit. Naturally ripe tomatoes have a soft, elastic pulp. If the fruit has an eye-catching red color but feels hard to the touch, without specific aroma, it is best to ignore it as this can be a chemically-ripened tomato. The inside is not succulent and is definitely not delicious. Observe the fruit stalk If you want to choose juicy tomatoes, thick meat and a lot of flour you can observe the stem. Tomatoes with 6 stalks on the stem are usually sweeter than tomatoes with 5 stalks. If you pay close attention, you will discover that the stalks of some tomatoes are 5 stalks, others 6 branches. It is this difference that partly determines whether the fruit is delicious or not. Tomatoes with 6 stalks are usually late ripe, absorbed enough sunlight, so more nutrients and more delicious. Therefore, prioritize tomatoes with 6-stem stalks. Note, unlike other vegetables, tubers and fruits, tomatoes are not recommended for refrigeration. Exposure to low temperature tomatoes are easy to crush, water boots, causing them to lose their characteristic delicious flavor. So should buy just enough tomatoes to use and use up in 1-2 days.

My boat sold at the port at the price of 110,000 VND / kg, was more than 60 million VND, the price was good, so the brothers were more excited and motivated. ”Trading at the port area. In just over 1 hour, squid, fish. Shrimp are sold to small traders for the market. Ms. Dinh Thu Hong (Quynh Tien commune) said: “I am a housewife so I pay attention to how to choose and recognize delicious watered seafood. Ready-to-hold steamed squid feels firm, dry and with blotchy film still on the skin is fresh and delicious. ” Steamed squid is available so it’s easy to process, can be re-steamed with soy sauce, sweet and sour roasted, fried with chili lemongrass. It is known that this occasion is the season of squid fishing for fishermen, so after selling all seafood, fishermen are busy preparing raw materials and necessities to go offshore.

In addition, soy sauce also contains trypsin and if combined with egg whites will greatly reduce the nutritional value of eggs. This is not good for the human body by absorbing less nutrients that eggs bring. So a little white salt sprinkled on the egg will ensure that the flavor of the dish is enhanced and retains the required nutrients of the egg. Another habit to get rid of is to beat eggs evenly with onions and then rinse them. However, by doing so, the eggs and onions will sometimes be unevenly cooked or the inside is unripe but the outside is ripe, the scent of onions will not have a chance to radiate. The best way to use the onion is to put the onions in the fat first, when the onions release a new aroma, put the eggs in so that the onions and eggs both smell good. In addition, boiling eggs too well is also a wrong way to cook. This comes from the anxiety that eating raw or undercooked eggs is unhealthy, so many people boil eggs thoroughly to eat peace of mind. However, this is a misconception that the cook should immediately discard. Over-boiled eggs make the yolks inside will have gray streaks, frumpy and slightly sulfur-smelling, the whites are as chewy as rubber. Eggs that are boiled for too long are also susceptible to protein degradation, affecting health. We should just put eggs in the pot, add cold water, boil. Then take the pot out of the stove, cover and leave for 10 minutes for the eggs to dig, for 15 minutes to make the eggs just cooked. The habit of cooking meat with braised eggs with sugar to get the color of many people is also a mistake to give up. Because doing so will cause the amino acid fructose protein in eggs to combine with lysine to create a compound that is difficult for the body to absorb, which adversely affects the digestive system. According to Family & Society

In the process of squeezing oranges, we often use force to exert a lot of oil and mix with water, causing a bitter taste.

Besides, in orange juice there are some substances that can react with each other to create a bitter taste. Orange juice is bitter because of the natural reaction of orange juice, producing limonoid compliance, the higher the temperature, the more and more bitter this compound is formed.

To squeeze out orange juice without being bitter, you should minimize the amount of essential oils in the skin getting into the water.
