- Prioritize selecting those with the head and body tightly attached.
- Choose shrimp whose tail and legs are curled inward; if the tail and legs are pointing outward, they may have been injected with water or chemicals, and you should not buy them.
How to choose fresh and delicious apples
- You should buy apples that have a deep bright red color, without many yellow-green patches.
- Choose apples that are evenly sized, feel firm and heavy in hand.
- Do not buy apples with scratched surfaces or bruised spots, especially those with unusual black spots that ooze liquid!
How to choose fresh and delicious cucumbers
- You should choose cucumbers that have a bright green color, a shiny surface, and are not scratched or bruised.
- At the same time, select cucumbers that are elongated in shape, with a thin layer of white powder on the surface to help retain moisture, which allows for better preservation.
- Do not buy cucumbers that have a shriveled head while the body is swollen or have many unusual black patches on the surface.
