How to choose to buy fresh pigeons

• If you buy ready-made pigeons, you should choose pigeons that look fresh, the skin is pink and not pale.
• If you buy live birds, you should choose birds from 10 to 15 days old because the meat at this time will be delicious and have more protein with the most nutrients.
• When buying, you should lift up the pigeon's wings, gently press it with your hand if the meat is thick, the pigeon will be clear. In addition, you use your hand to press the breast to see if the breast meat is tender, the softer the meat, the better the bird will be.
• Do not choose to buy the ones that are pale, smelly, and the meat is soft and not firm. In addition, you should not choose birds that are too small or too big because the meat will not be as delicious as the ones that are just right.

How to choose to buy fresh wormwood

• When buying, you should buy young wormwood leaves with light green leaves on the top and dark green on the bottom.
• Do not choose to buy wormwood leaves that are too dark green, too cool because they are likely to have been sprayed with growth agents, which is not good to use.
• In addition, you should choose to buy wormwood that is not wilted, yellowed, and has no vitality.
