Kapanlagi.com - One of the enjoyable traditions during the month of Ramadan is hunting for takjil before breaking the fast. Various Ramadan markets that sell various takjil are held in various regions to enliven this moment.

The term takjil comes from the Arabic word 'ajila' which means to hurry. However, the term has undergone a shift in meaning, where takjil is now interpreted as a light, refreshing iftar dish that is synonymous with sweetness. The presence of takjil menus is intended to hasten the breaking of the fast and cancel it when the time comes.

Usually, during Ramadan, various regions hold Ramadan markets that sell various takjil. However, the current COVID-19 pandemic has limited these activities.

Nevertheless, the moment of hunting for takjil to break the fast can still be done by adhering to the established guidelines. In addition, the presence of digital facilities can be chosen as a practical way to buy takjil. Yes, breaking the fast feels incomplete without buying takjil as an appetizer.

For some people, they may prefer the practical way of buying takjil for breaking the fast at the Ramadan market rather than making it themselves. If you are one of them, you need to know tips for buying iftar takjil that is healthy and safe.

So what are the tips for buying healthy and safe iftar takjil?

To ensure that the takjil menu remains healthy and safe, you need to pay attention to the following buying tips. Here are 7 tips for buying healthy and safe iftar takjil summarized from various sources.

 

1. Buying from Trusted Places

During Ramadan, there are indeed many spontaneous traders who appear to sell various takjil menus. The variety of these traders may confuse you in determining the choice of buying takjil for breaking the fast.

If this happens, try to make sure to buy from trusted places, such as people you already know or places that are crowded with buyers. Surely, buying takjil from people you know has the credibility of the takjil menu they make.

Similarly, places that are crowded with buyers are considered to sell safe takjil menus because they are able to maintain and attract buyers. However, still pay attention to the takjil menu that is healthy and nutritious.

2. Pay Attention to the Cleanliness of the Traders

One of the tips for buying healthy and safe iftar snacks is to pay attention to the cleanliness of the traders. This includes the cleanliness of the selling environment, the cleanliness of the food, and the way the traders handle the food.

It is important to observe these things so that the snacks you buy remain healthy and safe. A dirty environment can become a breeding ground for germs and diseases. Therefore, pay attention to the cleanliness of the traders before buying iftar snacks.

3. Avoid Snacks Crowded with Flies

Flies are a type of insect known to breed in dirty and unhygienic locations. So when you see food crowded with flies, try to avoid it as much as possible to stay free from germs and diseases.

Therefore, before buying, make sure the snacks are not crowded with flies or other animals to stay healthy and safe.

4. Avoid Oily Foods

The next tip for buying healthy and safe iftar snacks is to avoid oily foods. Because oily foods can increase the risk of various diseases in the body. So, in order to keep your iftar snacks menu healthy and safe, try to avoid foods that are too oily.

5. Beware of Striking Colors of Iftar Snacks

You need to be cautious of striking food colors as they may come from chemical dyes. Chemical dyes are closely associated with striking and unnatural colors. Consuming food with chemical dyes such as textile dyes can have significant health risks. Therefore, be careful when buying iftar snacks and avoid striking colors of iftar snacks.

6. Be Careful with Cheap Prices

Be careful with food offered at cheap prices. Because cheap prices do not necessarily mean good quality in the food. Cheap prices can also make you interested in buying a lot of takjil that might be wasteful.

7. Choose Healthy Takjil

Tips for buying healthy and safe takjil for breaking the fast can be done by choosing healthy takjil. Healthy takjil can be seen from the ingredients used and some tips like the ones above. For healthy takjil based on the ingredients, at least avoid choosing takjil with the following conditions:
