- Therefore, depending on the source of the spring (or well), the mineral content varies, giving this type of water its unique flavor.

How to choose fresh turmeric for juice
- When buying fresh turmeric, choose tubers that are bright yellow (for regular turmeric) or orange-yellow leaning towards red (for red turmeric).
- Choose turmeric with thin skin and few wrinkles, and press with your hand to feel a certain firmness.
- Additionally, whether for regular or red turmeric, when you scrape the flesh onto a piece of white paper or cloth, it should leave a bright yellow color, not dark.
- Avoid buying turmeric tubers with many black spots or dents, as well as those that have sprouted.
How to identify pure honey
- Prepare a glass of water and then drop some honey into it. If the honey sinks to the bottom of the glass, it proves that the honey is real; conversely, if it dissolves immediately in water, it is fake honey.
- In addition, you can put the honey in the refrigerator for 7 – 24 hours. If, when taken out, the honey retains its stickiness like malt, it is real honey.
- Moreover, you can try putting honey in a bowl and dipping a fresh green onion stem into it. After a while, if you see the onion wilting, it is a sign that the honey is real.
