How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Tomatoes
- Delicious ripe tomatoes have a shiny, bright red skin, even color, and are plump. The skin shows evenly spaced tiny dots, and the seeds inside are yellow, with the flesh being red, indicating the tomatoes are perfectly ripe and tasty.
- Tomatoes that still have fresh green stems, firmly attached to the fruit, are fresh tomatoes that have just been harvested. Additionally, vine-ripened tomatoes will have a light natural fragrance, while artificially ripened tomatoes will not have a scent.
- Do not buy tomatoes with green skins; these are not only unappetizing but also contain toxins that are harmful to health. Additionally, tomatoes that feel soft when squeezed and have lost their stems are overripe and show signs of spoilage.

How to Choose Fresh, Quality Chicken Eggs
- Fresh chicken eggs will have a smooth, shiny shell, with few dark spots. Newly laid eggs have a thin powdery layer on the outside and feel slightly rough, while older eggs have a glossy, smooth shell.
- Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you don’t hear any sound, it is a fresh, good egg. Conversely, a louder noise indicates the egg has been stored for a longer time and may be spoiled.
- Additionally, you can drop the egg into a bowl of water; if it floats, it is an old egg, while a sinking egg is a fresh one that you should buy.

How to choose fresh and delicious cabbage
- Good cabbage has a shiny bright color and a round shape. Cabbage that is oval or flat tends to be airy and softer.
- You should buy cabbage that is slightly darker green, feels firm, and is heavy in hand.
- Avoid buying cabbage with the outer leaves turning yellow significantly or showing brownish-black spots, as these are cabbages that have been around for a long time and are no longer fresh.
