How to choose fresh lemons
- You should choose fruits that are medium-sized, with thin and firm skin. When touching the lemon, it should feel smooth, not rough.
- Juicy lemons will feel heavy in your hand, and when you gently press the skin, essential oils should be released with a pleasant aroma. If the lemon has a pungent smell, it is likely to have been sprayed with chemicals.
- Avoid choosing fruits that are dull yellow, have rough skin, are spotted with black, have pests, or are rotten.

How to choose delicious, quality honey
- Try dripping honey onto a paper towel; if you see the liquid soak in, that honey has been diluted with water, while good quality pure honey will form a sturdy drop on the surface of the paper.
- Add a little honey to a glass of water; if the honey forms a round ball and sinks straight to the bottom, then that is good honey and should be chosen.
- Avoid buying cheap honey sold in bulk without a clear origin.
- Do not choose honey that has an unusually pale or dark color and has an unusual smell.
