QUIZ: Macedonia 2.0

Is the osmosis technique appropriate for use with berries?

It is not advisable because berries are small and fragile, and have a very short shelf life.
Yes.
Yes, it will give them more flavor while preserving their shape

Could the fruit be plated on a solid block of ice?

In principle, it is better plated on top of ice cubes so that shapes of the different varieties of fruit are visible. However, one of the course objectives is to awaken the creativity of each student and to allow them to create their own dishes with total freedom.
NO.
It is not recommended.

Can the proportion of added sugar (sucrose) in the liquid preparation that will be used for osmosis exceed 30%?

No. Under no circumstances should we exceed the percentage of added sugar of 30%, because the only thing that sugar will achieve in this dish is: 1. Masking the flavor of each variety/piece of fruit. 2. A syrup that is too dense and will break down the structure of the fruit. 3. Instead of having a fresh and fun fruit salad, it will be heavy in the mouth and with a flat taste.
YES.
If we exceed this proportion, it will be excessively sweet and would distort the characteristic flavors of the different fruits, so it is not recommended.
