How to choose fresh tomatoes
- Delicious tomatoes are those that are red, round, and firm, with a thin, shiny skin.
- Choose tomatoes with green stems firmly attached. These are freshly harvested tomatoes and will be tasty.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are unevenly ripened, feel hard when touched, lack elasticity, or those that are too soft because they have been harvested for a long time.

How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- It is advisable to choose meat with a dry membrane, a slightly taut surface, and a cut piece of meat with a natural pink color.
- Prioritize buying pieces of meat with bright-colored fat, firm texture, and a characteristic smell.
- Avoid choosing meat that has a pale color, feels slimy to the touch, and has dark-colored fat, as these are signs of spoiled or low-quality meat.
- To ensure the quality of minced meat, you should buy whole pork and then ask the seller to grind it for you or grind it yourself at home using a meat grinder.
