How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh ginseng
- You should choose ginseng that has a shape resembling a human, with a slightly short, round head, firm appearance, and feels sturdy when held.
- The legs should be light yellow, clearly divided, with roots clinging more to the legs than the body, and especially have a distinctive fragrance.
- Avoid choosing ginseng that is brownish-yellow, brittle, coarse, and easily breakable, as this may be fake ginseng.
How to choose good red dates
- You should choose small red dates, reddish-brown in color, evenly colored, with thin skin and many wrinkles, as these are usually characteristics of very sweet dates.
- Avoid buying red dates that are too dark or black, moldy, or have many black spots on the skin due to being stored for too long or improperly.
How to choose fresh and delicious pork ribs
- You should choose pork ribs with pink meat, ivory white fat, and small, flat bones.
- Additionally, fresh and delicious pork ribs will feel elastic when pressed and have the characteristic aroma of fresh meat.
- Avoid choosing pork ribs that are too small, with pale meat, slimy texture, and small specks like rice grains on the meat, as this may indicate spoilage.
What is goji berry? Where to buy goji berry
- Goji berry, also known as wolfberry, is one of the traditional medicinal herbs. The goji berries are oval-shaped and usually turn reddish-yellow or dark red when ripe.
- Goji berries have many benefits such as treating diseases, nourishing the skin, or being used as a flavoring to enhance the taste of dishes.
