What is the difference between doing a morning jogging alone or with a wife? One of the differences is to stop by the traditional markets or vegetable vendors around housing!
Actually shopping vegetables in traditional markets in the morning is great because we can find all the products that are really fresh and for me, there are other benefits that are to take some photos for this challenge.
If previously I once posted a purple eggplant along with dragon fruit, this time the purple eggplant was accompanied by green pare. What does it say in your language? Bitter melon or momordica, a green bitter, and warty squashlike vegetable or? Have you ever cooked or eaten green pare?
It tastes bitter but if we can cook it properly, the bitter will disappear and only the delicious freshness is left! By the way, green pare also has many benefits such as anti-virus, anti-cancer, lowering blood sugar levels, anti-microbial, wound healing and anti-fungal, lowers blood fat levels, slow blood clotting process, fight obesity, sick, but pregnant and lactating mothers are not advised to consume them.
Guys, if you are interested in this challenge, here are the rules and guidelines to join.
All those veggies we have in our place and they grow abundantly. For the eggplant, we call it “talong”; warty squashlike, “sayote”, and the green bitter, “amargoso or ampalaya”.
Means you come from a neighboring country!
Yes, I am from the Philippines.
Ha! “Dragon fruit” is the name of one of the newest bead colors I added. Love the colors, but, color is my business. Bright and healthy, heaping helpings of kelp!…and green pare with eggplant…Grin.
I think I am more adept at speaking in catfish language, the fact is not yet! But I feel the vibration, and this is a sincere compliment!
Take two catfish liver oil. Speak bird, sky or treenese, catfish is over-rated.
That vibration was just some effervescence…
YOU BEING HERE with me, is a sincere compliment!
Thank you! As ever, you make a cold dunk into a warm float, most favorable to fish…>-=^;>
Beautiful photograph! Love the colors! <3 <3
Thanks a lot for your appreciation, Windy
You’re always welcome, my friend. I love your work!
My favorite color combination. 🙂
Oh really! The vegetable merchant really has opened his third eye!!! ?Thanks!!!!
Unusual photo, thanks these fruits I don’t know much about. I would be grateful to learn more about them
I consider this thanks to jogging with my wife. This unique fruit has many benefits, Pamela. Nice to learn it, let alone to consume it.
No idea what a green pare is! A cucumber is the closest thing that comes to mind.
Beautiful colors.
Thanks, Carol. It is a good thing for me that the merchant put both of them in the same container.
I enjoy eating healthy foods, but now and then I love eating Ice cream lol.
I think we can stack the healthy food and ice cream together then eat it all at once…
You had to top my answer didn’t you lol. Maybe if I was pregnant I would like the blending idea lol.
But… the idea is not blending but stacking, like a hamburger! Like a plate of salad with ice cream topping.
Well then I will eat the top portion lol.if that is the ice cream part. Make that with hard shell chocolate topping.
Okay, Ma’am. How many portions do you want?
Just one for now lol
Great photograph for the challenge…love all the color!
Huge thanks for your appreciation, Courtney
my pleasure as always my friend 🙂
I have not seen this vegetable here. I did not know him until today. We met through your photo.
There is a phrase in Indonesia, “Do not know, then no love” “, then now you start to know it.
Great photo! I have never tried one, or heard of one. Awesome, I learned something.
What if we go shopping together occasionally, Kim? Who knows you find something interesting in the traditional market to be photographed.
I do not remember on which site there was a photo competition from the market. I then played very actively.
Albert, that would be fun, I love seeing different things I don’t normally see around here.
Elenka. That was Tsu. I remember it too. I couldn’t join in at that time, but remember all the great entries. The open air market photos. : )
Not that hypermarkets or supermarkets cannot be captured into attractive photos but traditional markets always have a different unique atmosphere. That’s why I asked you…
Yeah, I remember something about that in Tsu!
It would be interesting to see beautiful pictures of an open-air market!
