How to choose fresh and delicious quail
- Choose quails with light pink skin, slightly bright color, and a natural fragrant smell without any odor or strange smell.
- Choose those with a large breast, thick back, thick, plump, shiny belly skin, and feel heavy when picked up.
- Do not buy quails with dark skin, visible blood spots, meat that is not elastic, slimy, or with pale green or dark black flesh.
How to eliminate the smell of quail
- First, use tweezers or a gas torch to completely clean the quail feathers.
- Next, put a few slices of fresh ginger into a basin of diluted saltwater and soak the quail for about 5 minutes.
- Then rinse the quail with water about 2 – 3 times until clean, and it is ready for processing.
How to choose quality honey
- Choose honey that is yellow or bright orange, with a consistent color.
- Try dropping a drop of honey onto a tissue; if it absorbs and soaks into the tissue, it is honey mixed with water. Pure honey will form a hard drop on the tissue’s surface.
- Put a drop of honey into a glass; if you see a round ball of honey sinking straight to the bottom, it is good honey.
- Avoid buying honey that has turned black, has bubbles on the surface, has a pungent smell, or tastes sour and bitter, as it is fermented honey, which is not good for health.
