My Latest Fruits & Vegetables Market Visit

Welcome back to @progressivechef's page!

It's already Wednesday and I did not get the opportunity to share my latest market visit pics with you yet!
Time is really flying guys!
Well let me show you some pics of last Friday at the market!
As you know it is winter time here in Mauritius and there is actually a great abundance of vegetables for the time being and the price is still quite affordable!

The first one I noticed was the corn which was just at the entrance of the market!
It is actually the last harvest of corns in Mauritius and eventually I bought some pieces!
I love it boiled in salted water and eat with melted butter!
How you like to eat corns?

I shared these with you last time too, these are called 'Anguive' in Mauritius and it got the English name of 'Thai Eggplant'.
This week too there was a lot of these lovely shaped vegetables on the stalls!
It is quite bitter and I love it when dry fried!
Have you ever tasted this vegetable?

It was the first time this year that I saw these custard apples in the market! It is the beginning of the season!
In Mauritius we call it Coeur de Boeuf!
It was at a price of $1.5 one piece!

The local Victoria Pineapple made their appearance too! 3 pineapples for a dollar, well guys it is not everyday you get this price in Mauritius!
It is usually $2 one piece!

A very famous vegetable in Mauritius, Pipegaille can be stewed or cooked in curries!
With the skin you can do delicious chutneys!
The skin is rough and hard but inside it is so soft!
Have you ever seen this one?
It is called Ridge Gourd in English!

These green leaves are called Brede Chouchou here in the local language! It is actually the leaves of Christophinia!
We prepare it either in a broth or stewed with onion and garlic!
So delicious!

This is how you will see eggs at the market in Mauritius! 5 pieces for $1!
In winter egg's price are quite high...maybe the chickens do not lay enough i suppose!

I saw these dry cut coconut and wanted to share it with you guys!
Actually these were commonly used in the past to shine the floor at one's house!
In the past there were no tiles , so people were applying wax on the floor and use this as a brush to shine the floor by applying pressure with your feet and twist!!!

Oh my favorite herb! Curry leaves smell is just amazing!
As i said in my earlier posts, curry leaves are best when fresh!
Do you use it in your cooking?

I will end the post with these lovely white raddish also known as Daikon!
In Mauritius we eat both the white and the green parts!
I love it raw or cooked!
How you enjoy daikon in your country?

So here we are guys, some pics of my latest market visit!
