How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Delicious carrots will have a bright orange color; choose those with a moderate size because if they are too large, they are old carrots, while if too small (except for mini carrots), they are immature carrots without the characteristic flavor.
- Observe the carrot leaf stems; the greener the stem, the fresher the carrot, as it has just been harvested; conversely, a less green stem indicates that the carrot has been stored for a while and is less fresh.
- Do not buy carrots that feel slightly soft when pressed; these are withered carrots, and they will not taste good when cooked.

How to choose fresh and delicious green beans (string beans)
- You should choose those with green stems, looking fresh, with no black spots or uneven colors.
- Good green beans will have a long, flat shape without bulging. If there are many bumps, it means the beans inside are large and the beans are old, which will not taste good.
- Do not choose green beans that look too attractive, such as shiny, smooth, with little fuzz, and not infested or clearly burned. Because they may have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides, and the remaining residue is extremely unhealthy.
