Which season are you enjoying right now? Is it your favorite?

At the moment, I like the time when it is still warm, and the gardens and farms with vegetables are growing, and enjoying the tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh greens and so on. I like this season a lot because to me, everything is just blooming and thriving with life. It gives a unique pleasure to watch nature at work, knowing that healthy food is just around the corner if you are willing to pick it.

It’s not just about eating fresh but it shows a culture in which humans embrace nature and have a closer look at the food before they take a bite. That is why this season is my favorite. What motivates me are what energy is depicted, the green landscape and the center that gives a feeling of the progress. I love the spring time the most when am planting, tending, or just admiring the beauty of the crops.

Carrots, radishes, and beets which are root vegetables are also utilized at some levels of the process. Flesh-form gourds like bottle gourd, bitter gourd and ridge gourd are in fashion now-a-days.

I thought this vegetable was great, it was good for me. It is juicy, tasty, and can be used in very many recipes when preparing meals. I like how versatile it is and it can be good when stir fried, made into a curry or even grilled or roasted. Not only is it delicious but also has all the nutrients and I don’t feel guilty when I eat it. I also like that it can mix well with spices and other meals to give a good taste to the food you are preparing. But that is what makes it even more special because it is a seasonal crop and sourced from within the country. Eating fresh vegetables such as this one makes me appreciate nature and all the nutritional benefits it has to offer.

What is the market price of this vegetable? Share with us the steem and local price of the vegetable.

Currently as for me and my location the market prices of vegetables are very.InputStreamReader A bowl of tomatoes goes for 1,000 Nigerian Naira which, approximately, is equal to 4.3 STEEM. Cucumbers are sold in tro, three pieces of which costs 500 Naira, valued at about 2 STEEM on average. Plain and simply, eggplants are cheaper in bulk; that basket of one hundred and twenty five eggplants costs 2000 Naira, equivalent to 8.7 STEEM.

On the part of price, to get a bowl of pepper, it will cost 1,000 Naira same as tomatoes, which translates to 4.3 STEEM. I wasn’t able to obtain the current local prices as these vary from one market to another but these are the average ones. In the aftermath of summer and right before the cold sets in, it is a great time to go shopping for produce.
