Unfortunately, we often come home from the store without realizing that we have purchased a product that, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired.
And when choosing a product, we, as a rule, do not pay attention to certain signs that indicate its poor quality.
New Year is just around the corner. So you should be especially careful when it comes to grocery shopping.
Unsuccessful purchase of vegetables and fruits is not only a waste of money, but also a serious threat to your health.
The nuances listed below will help you quickly determine right in the store which fruit or vegetable is good and which one is better to avoid.
Fruits
If you see wilted, damaged or crushed fruits in front of you, it is better to immediately forget about them as potential purchase objects.
Overripe and soft fruits carry certain health risks.
Fresh fruits should be eaten as soon as possible if possible.
There is an option to freeze them - in this case the fruits will retain some of their qualities.
Vegetables
You shouldn't buy carrots, beets, radishes and other root vegetables if they don't look fresh.
You should also not take such products if they have the following signs: softened, covered with spots or sprouts, or damaged.
It is worth remembering that the vegetables should not lose moisture and shrink.
The presence of damaged skin on fruits does not bode well, and therefore it is better not to buy such vegetables.
