How to Choose Good Quality Honey
- You can find quality honey at reputable honey specialty stores or buy branded honey products available in supermarkets.
- When you put a little honey into water, if the honey does not dissolve and sinks to the bottom, then this is pure honey, guaranteed to be good. Conversely, if it dissolves, it is fake honey, and you should not buy it.
- Avoid buying honey that has white bubbles rising to the surface, has a strong pungent smell when sniffed, and tastes sour and bitter because this is expired honey.

Cook Ginger

Steep Tea

How to choose fresh and delicious lemons
- Fresh and delicious lemons are those that are of moderate size, feel heavy in hand, with smooth, shiny skin.
- It is advisable to choose lemons that are bright green, look fresh, have no mold spots, and have a light fragrant smell.
- Avoid buying lemons that are dark green, look dry, soft, and have a strong unpleasant odor as these are usually old, spoiled lemons, not fresh.
How to choose fresh and delicious ginger
- It is advisable to choose ginger roots with a shiny outer skin, feel firm, and heavy in hand.
- Good ginger has a characteristic fragrant smell, is intact, not bruised or deformed.
- Avoid buying ginger roots that are soft, wrinkled skin, or have too many small branches as these are old ginger, which has a lot of fibers.
