- Choose carrots that are straight, with smooth skin, a dark orange color, and fresh green tops tightly attached to the root, feeling firm, solid, and a bit heavy when held.
- Do not buy carrots that are soft, have wilted or damaged tops, or show dark spots on the outer skin.
- Avoid choosing carrots that are too large in size as they tend to have more fibers, a large core, a bland taste, and are not tasty.
How to choose good onions
- Choose bulbs with thin, shiny skins, uniform color, no dark spots, and tightly wrapped around the inner bulb.
- It is advisable to select onions of moderate size, not too big or too small, with roots as this indicates that they are still fresh.
