The rainy season brings coolness and relief from the heat. But did you know that during this season, the utmost care must be taken when it comes to food and drinks? Due to increased humidity, vegetables spoil quickly, and the risk of fungus, bacteria, and insects also increases. So, let's learn which vegetables to pay attention to when purchasing.

Before purchasing okra, try lightly breaking the end. If it breaks easily, it's fresh. Fresh okra is green in color and crisp.

The likelihood of eggplants becoming infested with insects increases during the rainy season. Therefore, when purchasing them, carefully check for holes or cracks.

When purchasing gourds, pay attention to their weight. Overly heavy gourds often have their seeds ripe, which diminishes their flavor. Lighter gourds are considered fresher.
