1:06 Zucchini
The skin must be firm, without any damage, and its color should vary from white, light green, and dark green.

1:14 Cassava
It is usually sold already cut. Its interior must be white, without any brown spots. The peel should be thin and easy to remove.

1:22 Garlic
Choose the ones without any bruises. The head should be whole, with its peel intact, and not wilted.

1:30 Potatoes
Choose the ones without brown or green spots, as their presence indicates the food is already old.

1:36 Eggplant
The skin should be whole and shiny, without any damages.

1:41 Beets

2:08 Chayote (or Choko)
Choose the ones with green skin and without any spikes. The spikes mean the chayote is old.

2:16 Cauliflower
The florets should be tight, and its leaves should be green and soft. Don't pick it if it has yellow branches.

2:23 Yam
The peel should be firm and with small roots coming out of it. Don't pick it if it is wilted or if it has sprouted.

2:30 Cucumber
Check if the peel is smooth and has an intense green color.

2:34 Bell pepper
The skin should be firm and shiny. The smaller ones are best since they have fewer pesticides.
