When buying fruits, vegetables, and other farm-produced goods, freshness is an absolute must. Whether you shop at a supermarket, a greengrocer, or a farmers' market for your produce, there is a basic food inspection ritual you've doubtlessly witnessed which fascinates and even frightens those of us who nourish ourselves entirely on a diet of fast foods. What are they looking for? How do they know which test to run on which vegetable? What is this secret knowledge which allows some to eat fresher than others?

In these free videos expert J. Costilla shows you how to pick the best fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce. He shows you exactly what to look for to help you choose the highest quality produce, from lemons and limes, from tomatoes and tomatillos, from apples to avocados and from peaches to peppers. How do you tell when a watermelon is ripe? What should mushrooms look like? How do you pick the best mango? J. Castillo answers all these questions and more in these free videos. Hopefully his tips and advice will prevent you from ever ending up with produce more suitable for theater criticism.
