How to safely choose pork ribs
- You should choose ribs that are about 2 fingers wide, with a dry surface, not slimy.
- In addition, prioritize pieces with bright red meat, a dry cutting surface, smooth and not broken.
- Absolutely do not choose ribs that are pale white or have unusual purple-blue spots as these are old ribs, which will not be safe to eat.
How to choose the right green bananas
- Good, ripe green bananas usually have a dark green color, a shiny, smooth skin, and the fruits have an even curve.
- It’s better to choose bunches with skin showing some black spots, gradually turning yellow as they are usually ripe, making them tastier when cooked.
- Avoid choosing bunches that are still young, with small fruits and skin having many veins, as they are not ripe yet and can taste bitter when eaten.
