How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carrots
- Good carrots are those that are of moderate size, straight shape, tapering towards the tail, with smooth skin, and feel firm and slightly hard when held.
- Choose carrots that are bright, deep orange in color, with fresh green tops tightly attached to the root.
- Do not buy overly large carrots, as they have a large core. These are old carrots, which will have a lot of fibers and fewer nutrients and will not be sweet when eaten.
- Avoid buying carrots that are bruised, wilted, misshapen, infested, or spoiled.

How to choose fresh ginger
- Good ginger is young ginger roots, with a smooth surface, crunchy, and still retains its freshness and nutrients inside the root.
- You should choose ginger roots that, when broken, have a bright yellow color, a distinctive aroma, and if observed carefully, you can see the round lines.
- Avoid buying ginger roots that are too old and large. Because old ginger roots are fibrous and have fewer nutrients, they will not taste good when cooked.
How to choose fresh onions
- Good onions are round-shaped, with many long roots. The skin is shiny, uniformly yellow, and without black spots. When touched, the bulb feels smooth and firm.
- Avoid buying sprouted onions, those with strange shapes, or missing roots, and if squeezed, there are hard and soft spots. These are onions that have been stored for a long time or have gone bad.
