- Additionally, good beef will feel sticky when touched, and when pressed lightly, it will have a certain elasticity and not be indented.
- Avoid buying beef that is dark red, has dark yellow fat, and has large fibers because that indicates old beef, which is usually tough and not tasty.

How to Choose Delicious and Crisp Green Beans
- You should choose green beans that have green stems, look fresh, and do not have black spots or uneven colors.
- Good green beans will have a long, flat shape. If they are very bumpy, it means the beans inside are large and the beans are old, which will not taste good.
- Do not choose green beans that look too perfect, such as shiny, smooth, and evenly straight. This is likely because they have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides or growth hormones.
