How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Natural ripe tomatoes have a plump skin and bright red color. If you pay close attention, you will see small specks in the flesh of the fruit through the skin. When you cut the fruit, you will see the red ripe pulp with a lot of white seeds and pulp.
- You should choose firm fruits, do not select those that are soft because they spoil quickly and get bruised.
- If the stem of the tomato is green and tightly attached to the body, it means the fruit is naturally ripe.
- Compared to naturally ripe tomatoes, tomatoes soaked in chemical substances usually lack fragrance, are not red, and are quite hard. When processed, tomatoes take a long time to soften, have little pulp, and a pale red color.

How to choose fresh, delicious oranges
- For this dish, you should choose Egyptian yellow oranges or Australian oranges to ensure the dish has the right flavor.
- Good oranges will still have the stem; when touched, the stem feels firm and cannot be easily broken off by hand.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin, feeling smooth and shiny when touched, and when gently squeezed, essential oil will be released.
- You should choose oranges that are uniformly round, feel firm in hand, and have a yellow color at the bottom. Additionally, pay attention to the calyx of the orange; if it is sunken compared to the surrounding surface, that is a juicy orange.
- Avoid choosing oranges with soft, wrinkled skins and dark brown spots, as these are often not fresh and show signs of being spoiled or rotten.

How to choose good eggs
- Eggshell: Fresh eggs will have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, feeling rough or heavy when touched. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it means the eggs have been left in the nest for too long and are not fresh.
- Light test: You can shine a light through the egg or use a rolled-up newspaper to check under sunlight. If you see that the air cell of the egg is still small, the yolk is round and does not move, and the white is transparent with a light orange or pink color, then the egg is fresh. In the case of old eggs, they will have a reddish color with many moving veins and a large air cell.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg to your ear and shake it lightly; if you hear a sound, it indicates the egg is old and has been left for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel the egg moving strongly, it is a bad egg, possibly from a hen that is in the process of hatching,…
- If possible, you should use a 10% salt solution to drop the egg into. If the egg sinks to the bottom of the water, it is a freshly laid egg. If the egg floats to the surface, it has been left for more than 5 days.
