How to choose fresh eggs
- Fresh chicken eggs have a surface that feels rough and slightly coarse when touched, while smooth-surfaced eggs have been stored for a long time.
- Hold the egg up to a light source, or roll a newspaper and shine it under sunlight, you will see a small air cell, the yolk appears round, seems to remain still and is balanced in the center of the egg, with a light orange or pink color, and the egg white is transparent, indicating it is a fresh chicken egg.
- Shake the egg gently. If there is a sound, it means the egg has been stored for a long time and should not be purchased; conversely, if there is no sound, it is a fresh chicken egg.
How to choose fresh and delicious onions
- Choose bulbs with thin, shiny skin, even color, plenty of roots, and feel dry to the touch.
- It is advisable to choose medium-sized onions that feel firm in your hand as they will be tastier when cooked.
- Avoid selecting bulbs that have sprouted, have hard and soft spots, and uneven colors as these onions are not fresh and may be bitter.
