How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh lemons
- You should choose lemons that are bright in color, without black spots, with smooth skin that is not rough. Additionally, juicy lemons will feel heavy and firm when held.
- Choose lemons with a light, characteristic aroma; do not choose those with a strong, pungent smell, which may indicate chemicals have been used or that the lemons are still unripe.
- Avoid choosing lemons that are too large or too small; unusually large lemons may have been treated with growth hormones, while small ones may not contain much juice and could taste bitter.
- Moreover, avoid choosing lemons with dark colors or dry skins, as they have been stored for too long, which could be harmful to health.
How to choose good old ginger
- Choose ginger of moderate size, with a dark yellow-brown skin, typically rough and with many veins. You should try breaking the ginger in half; good old ginger usually has a bright yellow core, clear veins, and many small fibers.
- In addition, good ginger will have a fragrant smell, with a distinctive pungent flavor even when the skin is not peeled. Choose those that are whole.
- Avoid choosing ginger that is too large, with smooth skin, few veins, a light yellow core, little fiber and veins, and no round veins in the middle of the core as this may be ginger that has been treated with harmful pesticides.

How to choose good, crunchy apples
- You should choose apples that are bright red, with no tiny black spots on the skin. Additionally, select apples that are of moderate size, well-shaped, and slightly bumpy as they tend to be sweeter.
- Gently tap the body of the apple; if it produces a clear sound and feels firm in hand, and the stem is tightly attached to the apple while giving off a light, distinctive aroma, then it is a fresh apple.
- Do not choose apples that have overly smooth skin, lack fragrance, as they may be treated with chemicals. Also, avoid apples that are scratched or have a soft, mushy body due to being stored for too long.

- Avoid choosing leaves that are yellowed, brown-black, with soft stems and leaves due to wilting, or have many tiny holes from insect damage.
