        "text": "Quartz is an engineered stone that is non-porous and resists stains without sealing, whereas natural granite requires periodic sealing to prevent moisture absorption. Quartz provides uniform patterns and stands up exceptionally well to spills like lemon juice, oil, or red wine. However, quartz is sensitive to extreme heat, meaning hot pans must never sit directly on the surface. Granite handles direct heat better and offers one-of-a-kind natural veining, but it can chip along edges or harbor stains if maintenance is neglected. Both materials deliver excellent long-term durability for busy kitchens.",
