How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken Breast
- You should choose chicken breast pieces that are freshly prepared with a rosy skin and naturally yellow meat.
- When touching the chicken meat, it should still feel dry and have good elasticity, without leaving a dent where you press.
- If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the layer of fat on the chicken. You should choose the fat that is white for better taste.
- You should choose chicken breast pieces with fewer stripes in the meat fibers. The more stripes there are, the less fat and protein it contains, and these stripes will make it harder for the chicken to absorb spices and sauces during cooking.
- You should not buy chicken breast pieces that have bruises or unusual colors, or that smell bad, as these indicate low-quality chicken.

- Choose mushrooms with gray-black caps, as they will have a richer flavor compared to light-colored straw mushrooms.
- Avoid mushrooms that are moldy or have a strange smell when sniffed.

How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are straight in shape, have a smooth outer skin, bright carrot color, feel firm, hard, and heavy when held, as these are the tasty ones, rich in vitamins.
- It is advisable to buy carrots with a small core, as the smaller the core, the sweeter the carrot.
