Where does food safety begin?
How can we know and choose to consume safe vegetables? This is a question that many people have doubts about and there is no one who can answer what to do to get safe food.
Food safety or also known as Food safety which is known as food refers to living and non-living things that we bring to cook to be healthy for life. Safety means that there is no harm to consumers caused by the natural ingredients of food or poisons caused by human actions Therefore, food safety (Food safety) means everything that we will bring for consumption must be clean and safe, the food that enters the body must not be harmful to the consumer's body, including the process of processing and the selection of clean and safe raw materials.
Currently, because the economy and society are expanding widely, quickly and with modern technology to bring more diversity in food production to be able to meet the needs of consumers and to be able to preserve food for a long time This is to help reduce food shortages that lead to food insecurity, especially health problems caused by food poisoning, which has resulted in many countries around the world becoming interested in finding a solution to this problem.

- Processing
Cooking to make the food taste good and taste the way you want you must pay attention to the process of cooking to get safe food. At this stage, the cook must be very meticulous in hygiene so that there are no contaminants left in the food.
- Choosing to consume vegetables
Each type of vegetable has a different growing season, some can be grown year-round and there are many types of vegetables that only grow in certain climates. If the farmer grows vegetables according to the appropriate season, the growth of vegetables will be beautiful Without the need to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, choosing to eat vegetables and fruits in season is another way to help reduce exposure to chemicals and make food safer. Therefore, we bring each type of vegetables and fruits that should be eaten in each cycle of the year:

- What are the advantages of eating seasonal vegetables?
- The arrangement of the division according to the many plans and the planning process of the city plan.
- Safe for health because seasonal vegetables are grown and harvested naturally without the use of excessive amounts of chemicals or may not be used because the factors are suitable for growth, unlike vegetables grown out of season which have more opportunities to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
- Do not destroy the nature and the ecosystem, for example, in the winter, vegetables will grow well because there are few insects, if they are planted in the summer, the vegetables will not be able to withstand the epidemic.
