How to choose fresh pork kidney

- Prefer to choose pork kidneys with intact membranes, soft and shiny.
- Avoid buying pork kidneys that have yellow or red spots, signs of bruising or bleeding, and do not choose those that are rough as it indicates that the pig may be sick and unsafe for consumption.
How to choose fresh and delicious pig liver
- When buying pig liver, choose pieces that are bright red or pink and evenly colored. These are fresh liver pieces. It is best to choose liver that has not been cut and still has the membrane intact to ensure freshness.
- Fresh and delicious pig liver has a smooth, flat surface and does not have any lumps or unusual odors.
- Avoid buying pig liver that is dark, yellowish, and unevenly colored as this indicates that the liver is no longer fresh.
- In addition, absolutely do not buy liver that has lumps or shows the presence of liver flukes on the surface as this indicates that the liver is infected and harmful to health.
How to choose fresh and delicious bean sprouts
- You should prioritize choosing bean sprouts with long roots, slightly slender stems, milky white color, and sturdy stems to ensure they are natural sprouts.
- Additionally, natural bean sprouts still have green bean seeds attached to the stems, without any dark spots.
- Avoid buying bean sprouts with short, stubby roots, dark colors, and uniformly thick and bright white stems as these are sprouts that have been soaked in chemicals before being sold.
