Sabzi mandi to refrigerator

It's great pleasure to walk on the roads of vegetable market, talk with people, bargain, select from wide range of vegetables, breath fresh air (away from A/C in big stores) and of course taking pictures. It is so addictive....even though big stores are near by... it's totally a different experience to buy vegetables from the vegetable market. So fresh...so colorful...

For the first time, I took kids with me to the market and they were very excited to see people selling vegetables and the crowd. Here are some pictures of the vegetable market I visit every two weeks.

I love the basket to pick vegetables...couldn't resist to reward myself with one..don't ask me why I got it...I just bought it ;-).




Healthy and fresh green leaves...


 

After one hour of hand picking the vegetables, they make their way home. And here is small vegetable market at home....



Vegetables being sorted...not sure which sorting algorithm I use to sort them. ;-).



Vegetables making their way to basket and bags....



Ultimately their way to refrigerator...peeking out and competing with each other to take them out and cook.
