How to choose juicy and sweet oranges:
- Good oranges will still have the stem, and when touched, the stem will feel tight and difficult to fall off.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin, feeling smooth and shiny when touched, and when gently squeezed, essential oils will be released.
- It is advisable to choose oranges that are evenly round, feel firm in hand, with a light yellow color at the bottom (for green-skinned oranges). Additionally, pay attention to the orange’s stem; if it is indented compared to the surrounding surface, that is a juicy orange.
- Avoid selecting oranges with soft, wrinkled skin and dark brown spots, as these are often not fresh and show signs of spoilage.

How to choose delicious strawberries
- Choose large, bright red, juicy strawberries with intact stems and fresh green leaves.
- Do not choose overripe strawberries as the inside may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid selecting dull-colored, misshapen, and spoiled strawberries. Additionally, those with green skin and many spots should not be purchased as strawberries will not ripen after being picked.

How to choose fresh, delicious pineapples
- Choose pineapples that have a bright yellow color from the crown to the bottom; if there are a few green spots, the fruit is just ripe and has a mild sweetness.
- Short pineapples (rounded shape) have more flesh than long pineapples (elongated shape).
- Choose pineapples with large and sparse eyes for thicker flesh after peeling off the eyes.
- You should smell the pineapple; if it has little or no scent, it means the fruit is not ripe. If it has a fragrant smell, then it is ripe.
- Choose pineapples that are neither too hard nor too soft; pressing your finger into the skin should not leave an indentation.

How to choose cucumbers without bitterness
- Choose cucumbers that are uniformly green, without yellowish spots or blemishes, as these are likely to have been sprayed with pesticides or are old and about to spoil.
- It is better to choose long and slender cucumbers, as they tend to be crunchier and have a more solid texture compared to round, short cucumbers.
- Avoid buying cucumbers that are crooked, have many bumps on the skin, or show signs of decay.

- Do not choose dark-colored celery, uneven stalks, many roots, or those that are bruised or rotten.
