There are tips that can help you choose safe, fresh food just by looking.
It is not always possible to consult an expert when it comes to distinguishing between good, fresh and bad foods. So, there are a few tips to check the quality of products that we eat every day you should know, especially distinguishing good chicken or not, fresh or rotten fish.
1. Chicken When choosing chicken, pay attention to the white stripes and thick layer of fat on the chicken breast. If there are many of these parts, it means that the chicken farmer has injected growth hormones into the chicken to promote weight gain, eating is not good for health. The color of the chicken is also something we have to pay attention to. If the meat is yellow, it is not fresh. Choose pieces that are pink and not too soft. 2. Honey Pour honey on a flat surface, fake honey will immediately spread, and real honey, its quality will flow like a stream, thick. Taste it, if it has a caramel taste, it is genuine honey, and if it is too sweet, it means it has been mixed with white sugar. 3. Sour cream To check if sour cream contains vegetable fats, put a tablespoon of sour cream in a cup of hot water. If the ice cream is not good quality will create a layer of white flakes, a little lumpy, and good sour cream will spread evenly throughout the cup. 4. Frozen vegetables and fruits Check the product bag, if there is a lot of ice or snow on it, it means it has not been stored properly. Choose a bag with a little bit of tape! 5. Fish If you want to choose good fish, look at the fish’s eyes. A fish with cloudy eyes and bright red gills is a spoiled fish. The skin of the fish should be shiny, hunted in… fresh fish. 6. Meat When choosing meat, please press lightly with your fingers, fresh meat will not sink for long, immediately elastic. If the meat is rotten, it will sink. Cut a test piece, if the meat is dark and the border is white, it means that the meat has been kept for a long time, there are additives, health effects. Or you can wipe with a paper towel, fresh meat will not have much water and the blood seeps in. 7. fennel If you want to know if the dill is fresh or not, try holding the bunch of fennel up, if the leaves fall to the sides, it is old. In addition, if the dill is discolored and the stem is too long, it means it contains nitrate. Choose green, fresh plants. 8. Cheese To find out if the cheese contains vegetable fat, cut it with a knife. If the slice of cheese is crumbly, it is high in fat (Excluding hard cheeses like cheddar). Leave a piece of cheese at room temperature, if it is soft then the cheese is good, if it is dry and has moisture, water appears, indicating that the product is no longer usable. 9. Ice cream Leave ice cream at room temperature, if it contains vegetable fat, it will freeze for longer, then melt into a liquid. Good quality cream will melt into thick white patches.
