How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh strawberries
- Choose large, bright red, juicy strawberries that still have their stems and fresh green leaves.
- Do not choose overripe strawberries as the insides may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid choosing dull-colored, misshapen, and rotten strawberries. Additionally, fruits with green skin and many spots should not be bought as strawberries will not ripen further after being picked.
How to choose delicious, sweet oranges
- Thin-skinned oranges are those that feel firm, heavy, have smooth and taut skin, and are less dimpled. Particularly, you should observe if the stem end of the orange is sunken compared to the surrounding area, indicating that the fruit is juicy.
- Fresh oranges are usually firm, not soft or wilted, with taut and shiny skin.
- Avoid buying overly large oranges that feel light when held, lack a distinctive aroma, as they may not be ripe or of good quality.

Benefits of beetroot for health
- Beetroot is a type of sweet root vegetable also known as red beet, commonly grown in areas of the UK, Central America, and North America.
- Beetroot usually comes in 2 colors: dark red and dark purple, with a rough black outer skin.
- Beetroot has many health benefits due to its high content of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and C. In particular, the leaves and stems of beetroot are rich in iron.
- Therefore, beetroot helps improve health conditions such as constipation, anemia, blood pressure, atherosclerosis, gout, dandruff, stomach ulcers,…
How to choose fresh and delicious beetroot
- Prioritize choosing firm beetroots that are not soft, with a smooth outer skin and still have leaves.
- It is better to choose beetroots with a round bottom as they are sweeter than those with a flat bottom. Round-bottomed beetroots tend to have a sweeter taste, while flat-bottomed ones usually have less sweetness.
- You should buy small to medium-sized beetroots because larger ones are often tough and their core is woody, making them less enjoyable to eat.
