How to choose real, quality honey
- Take a clean glass of water and drop a few drops of honey into it. If you see round honey droplets, then it is real honey.
- If the honey dissolves in water as soon as you drop it in, then it is fake honey, mixed with sugar or other sweet compounds.
- Drop a few drops of honey onto blotting paper, if the honey droplets form round shapes and dissolve slowly or not at all, then that is real honey.
- Conversely, if the honey quickly thins out and soaks into the paper, then it is not pure honey.

How to choose good quality chia seeds
- You should choose chia seeds that are uniform in size, light brown in color, shiny, and have a characteristic fragrant smell.
- You should avoid buying seeds that are discolored, have a rancid oil smell or unpleasant odor, or have different colors. This may indicate that they have been stored for too long, which is not good for health when processed.
- Chia seeds are not grown in Vietnam, so you can find this type of seed at supermarkets, reputable grocery stores that specialize in foreign goods, or on e-commerce websites. Additionally, you can easily find them at TasteVN stores or purchase online at bachhoaxanh.com.

How to choose fresh, juicy lemons
- Fresh, good lemons are those with a shiny, smooth skin, which when pressed have a certain softness to ensure they contain a lot of juice, are relatively heavy, and have a characteristic fragrance.
- Avoid buying lemons that are too light, have dull skin, feel hard when pressed and lack elasticity, with a strong and pungent smell, indicating that the lemons are spoiled or unripe, which means they won’t have much juice and will not taste good.
