How to choose fresh delicious pears
- You should choose pears that have a moderate red color; if you prefer a slightly sour taste, choose pears with a lighter red color.
- It is best to buy pears that still have the stem firmly attached to the fruit, as this indicates they are fresh.
- When you gently press the fruit with your finger, if the flesh feels slightly soft, you should buy it. Avoid choosing fruits that are too soft as they may be overripe or have been stored for too long, which will not taste good when prepared.
How to choose quality honey
- Good honey will have a layer of foam like pollen sticking to the mouth of the jar, often including bee larvae, creating a layer of foam on the surface or at the bottom of the jar.
- You should choose honey that is light yellow, which will gradually turn to orange-yellow over time and eventually to dark brown.
- Additionally, you should buy honey that has a natural aroma, tasting sweet and slightly musty.
- Avoid buying cloudy honey as it may contain impurities. Do not purchase honey that tastes sharply sweet and lacks a distinctive aroma.
