what's up guys salad select so I am in
New York City right now
I just finished a few social events you
know I was at the Maker Faire and I also
did some good cookbook promotions
Alex was absolutely amazing to meet you
all and then I thought since I'm in New
York City let's just you know take the
opportunity to make a video that there's
a video by the way that I've been
willing to make for a while and it's
basically about how I select you know
the right vegetables or fruits
at the market sharing some Pro local
tips here I'm not a local I'm just into
this but I know a guy who can hook me up
for good hey Mike this is Alex hey I'm
downstairs man about your place how are
you ready
we're in Park Slope and we're heading
over to the farmers market it's called
the Grand Army farmers market biggest
farmers market in Brooklyn
[Music]
this to me is like church you know this
is Saturday selected seriously this is
my holy land a lot of times I take a
tour around first let's see what's going
on you plan your attack then go in for
the kill this one tastes like American
grape juice
[Music]
yeah your favorite well some lamb
sausage Greek style I mean I know the
home video is about vegetables and
fruits but another
okay do you think we get enough here's
the problem with with me in the farmers
market whatever money I have in my
pocket it's being spent probably the
best tip in the video it's okay I'll
bring too much money at the farmers
market Mike I know you you know me yeah
but my people don't all know you okay so
can you down include its it's a very
long way of saying can you introduce
yourself
my name is Mike half of brothers green
my Instagram's life by Mike G you can
follow like what I'm doing on the side
just like Alex I like to inspire people
to get over their fears of cooking and
get in the kitchen right so the idea
right now is to get those veg out before
you eat the mode for each one just go
this is what you should be going for and
this is what you shouldn't be going so
we're getting everything out let's start
with the first one the onion
it's shiny first there still is a bit of
dirt when you're selecting an onion at
the market if it's soft even the pad
soft it's a no-go it's probably even in
Roatan in a vise that's you know it's
gonna stink if you can peel off the skin
and it doesn't break if it's soft like
this one then it means the onion is
young this is fresh summer corn you
don't get this everywhere the number one
thing is don't be scared to like peel
open your course it's a little scary at
first like am I allowed to mess with the
corn this is just slightly eaten there I
don't know if that's bugs or it's like
just okay it's not good you can get corn
where it's completely just beautiful
throughout the entire top and just look
at these like fat juicy kernels it's
nice and shiny
can you eat that wrong we just did so we
got this carrot with the stem still on
this is a young carrot it's firm very
firm you shouldn't be able to bend it
that would be very bad when you seek
long big carrots without the stem on
they can be young they can be super or
they can be like a year old the
beautiful peach you just want it looking
like beautiful all the way through no
bruises just a nice vibrant color and
just a little under ripe at this point
the smell if it smells really intense
it's probably gonna taste very intense
Gallic difficulty is one of my all-time
favorite flavors in cooking I feel like
it's very powerful but it doesn't mean
you have to use a lot of it that's why
I'm very picky when it comes to picking
the right garlic I would place my hand
around it and try to find a weak spot
if I find a weak spot that's the end of
this head I'm just gonna trash it and I
mean I'm not gonna trash it because it
belongs to I tend to buy those who are
more regular than the others I feel like
it's easier to manage in the kitchen and
then I tend to buy bigger heads than
this one on the bigger ones it's easier
to check if if there isn't like a clove
that is rotten inside garlic was a gift
yes ancient Egypt
are we phone so basically with the weeks
that come you can create the website you
want it's super fast and super easy
which honestly is priceless if you want
to focus on making a lot of food videos
for example weeks get over 500 designer
made templates and you can make a blog a
gallery an online store and of course
everything is mobile and SEO friendly on
top of that you can connect your Wix
website to your own domain and that is
definitely something and planning to do
if you want to give it a try while you
can do this for free so I'll share the
link in the description box down below
well I got no voice no more back to the
video do you call this X plan or
aubergine aubergine aubergine we call
this eggplant one thing that I learned
that I haven't really seen the
difference between male and female but
if if this is like indented that usually
means that
female there's gonna be more seeds so if
you can find that without or that could
be totally wrong so you want to make
sure it's nice and shiny sale shiny that
is that is a beautiful looking eggplant
and then you want a nice like green top
you don't want this right and a lot of
the vegetables if the top is like fresh
and green it works and then like you are
saying what were you calling this yeah
it's likely stinky yes it's a big thing
it's a bit like mittens
for exampie cuz the longer those sit out
they're gonna kind of dry out and it's
not gonna have the sharpness and the
stain yes make sure you know you when
you cut your eggplant it's a cooking tip
you can salt it before you cook it it's
gonna pull out a lot of the bitter
moisture and be delicious you'll smell
it's like an impenetrable force here no
smell it's a zucchini you want a film
vegetable very important that it is film
sometimes you can find zucchini which
are soft right there at the head it's
usually a bad sign
I'm not sure you can perform this at the
market but if you cut the top of the
zucchini Oh juicy yeah if it's juicy
that's a good sign
you can do a whole video there's so much
to it you want like a nice combination
between a little firm and you know a
little soft like that middle ground like
you don't want to pick it up and it's
just your push it would be bad and yet
the skin on very good tomato is a giant
if you were to insist you could break
the skin and that's a good sign
just another bite of this this is a
life-changing experience BAM
that's all good man it's amazing sweet
sweet corn when good collaboration
