How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh lemons
- Choose lemons that have a light fragrance, avoid buying lemons that have a strong, pungent, unpleasant smell.
- You should select lemons that are bright in color, with thin, smooth skin, firm and shiny, not rough or lumpy, as they will have a higher vitamin content compared to others.
- Instead of choosing large lemons, opt for medium-sized lemons that feel heavy in your hand; heavier lemons will contain more juice and have better quality.
- Avoid buying lemons that are dark green or have yellow spots on their skin, showing signs of mold, as these are often old lemons.

How to choose quality old ginger
- Fresh and delicious ginger is characterized by firm, shiny skin, feeling heavy in hand, and having a solid texture.
- Choose ginger that is still whole and has the characteristic aroma of ginger.
- Avoid ginger that shows signs of spoilage; if it’s soft (some parts hard, some parts soft), it’s not fresh.
- Avoid ginger with too many small branches; these are old ginger roots that are fibrous and will not taste good when cooked.

How to choose fresh juicy oranges
- Fresh oranges are those with an outer peel that looks bright, not darkened or rough, and the stem is still green and not broken off.
- Additionally, choose oranges that have a balanced shape, not too misshapen, and feel firm when held.
- Avoid buying oranges that feel soft when pressed, are large but very light because those are not juicy oranges and will not taste good when processed.

How to choose sweet and delicious watermelons
- Pay attention to choosing watermelons that have a round, even shape, with a balanced top and bottom, not misshapen or distorted.
- Choose watermelons with moderately hard skin, a uniform dark green color, and clear, even stripes.
- Good, sweet watermelons usually have a small, withered stem and a small belly, with the bottom of the watermelon being yellow or cream-colored.
- Choose watermelons by gently tapping the body; if the sound is loud and clear like “thump thump” and the skin is firm and not soft, then it is a good watermelon.
