How to choose fresh and delicious crab meat
- Depending on your preference, you can buy crab meat that has already been separated or buy fresh crabs to extract the meat yourself!
- If you choose the type of crab meat that has already been separated, make sure to select meat that is not broken, and has a bright color, without any dark spots.
- If you are using fresh crabs, you should buy crabs that are still alive, with legs and claws intact, and when you press down on the shell and abdomen, you should feel a distinct firmness.
- Avoid buying crab meat if you smell an unusual fishy odor, as this is a sign that the crab has been sitting for too long and is no longer edible.

How to choose fresh and delicious chicken eggs
- Fresh and delicious eggs have a strong, shiny, and beautiful shell, and the surface does not show any rough spots or unusual shapes.
- Typically, fresh eggs will have a fairly uniform size and have a thin layer of powder on the outside of the shell.
- You can also gently shake the egg to check it; if you hear liquid sloshing inside, you absolutely should not buy it as it means the egg is spoiled.
- Avoid buying eggs with cracked or overly damaged shells as they are eggs that have been stored for too long and are no longer edible.
How to choose fresh and delicious wormwood
- Fresh and delicious wormwood has tender leaves, looks fresh and green, and has a small size, which will help prevent bitterness when cooked.
- Avoid purchasing wormwood with too dark a green color as it may have been sprayed with chemicals, which is not good for health.
