- Avoid buying cabbage heads with yellow leaves, spoiled smell, cracked cores, wilted leaves, or many bruises. Avoid cabbage with brown stems or brown spots on the skin.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots

- Do not choose overly large carrots as they are often old, very hard to eat, and lack sweetness and distinctive aroma.
