@ The Market

Had a great saturday morning at the market! 


Fruits and veggies
Eating healthy does not need to be super expensive. That is why I try to do most of my groceries at the local market when possible. Also this Saturday I went to the market to buy fruit, vegetables, and nuts. When going to the market, try to walk around first to compare the prices and the quality of the products being sold. Often, at the beginning of the market, products tend to be more expensive that further down the market. Try to pick your own pieces of fruits and vegetables so you can pick out the best looking ones!

Nuts, dried fruits and herbs
One of my favourite stands at the market is a vegetables and fruit stand where the products are pre-packed in portions in a bag. Each bag is between one and two Euros's. From experience I know the products are very good quality most of the time. For carbs, I love sweet potatoes. At the market you can find many tropical stands selling sweet potato's. Try it!

Another stand I always go to is the nut's stand. They have all types of nuts, olives, dried fruit, and also 3 bushes of fresh mint for only One Euro. Very refreshing to make your own mint thee! I love the almonds and dried apricots they sell!

The result


 In total I bought:

- 3 cucumber
- Tomatoes
- Bag of bell peppers
- Bag of zucchini 
- 2 brocolli
- 2 bushes spring onions
- 2 bushes asparagus
- Sweet potato

- Dades

Stay tuned to see what kind of dishes I will make with it!
