We all need a balanced diet and vegetables are very important. Take a break from meat and have some veggie goodness. This is a place where the vegetables are cheaper compared to the city. Not only that they are fresh as they come daily. Today let me just share with you some photos from the vegetable section of the market.

Mountain Freshness

Usually my wife does all the shopping especially for our meals. If you would send me out to do the shopping I'll be buying anything that looks good. Which I would probably end up overspending the budget for the week. It is best just to have my wife do the shopping and I would just tag along. Choosing which stall to buy from and haggling for the price are things I have no idea about. My wife is very capable when it comes to the market.

It is even surprising the she knows which stalls cheats on their good that are sold. One example is a shrimp stall which sells shrimps that looks fresh but in reality they mix non fresh shrimps with the lot. She tells me, "Don't buy there, check this, buy from here." Thru years of experience buying from our local market she got it figured out.

Well that market is from our local area and we can't help there are some dishonest vendors. But enough of that this is a different market and this place is popular due to the fresh vegetables and low price.

Who loves broccoli? We do just blanch them in water and it should be good. Although the kids are not a fan they need to eat veggies every other day for a balanced diet.

The price here is around 35 pesos per half kilo or $.66 which is a very cheap price. What prices do you have for broccoli?

This is just one stall and there are so many options to choose from for all your vegetable needs.

One kilo of mushrooms cost around $2.25

Green and Red bell peppers are sold per pack for $.50

One kilo of carrots the sell it at $.75

Potatoes, baby carrots, cabbage, beans and lettuce are just some of the local produce.

Cucumber has many benefits helps to keep the eyes healthy, good for the skin, detoxification and also said to help fight cancer.

I always wondered why they use slices cucumber on the eyes before going to bed. It seems it helps reduce the eyebags or round circles below you eyes when you didn't get enough sleep.

Sweet beets is something we do not have at our local market back home. I asked the vendor how to eat it and she told me it is best to make a juice out of it. That sounds very interesting and we bought a pack for around $.38 which I think is a bargain.

Alright then I guess that is it for now and please let me know what do you think about the prices here.
