Currently, along with the times, traditional markets are often abandoned by people who prefer practical shopping. In fact, in some cities that are still developing, not yet very advanced with modernization, traditional markets remain the main destination with lots of cheap and good quality options.

For myself, I prefer shopping for vegan ingredients at traditional markets. The most important reason for this is because traditional markets offer more affordable prices and a wide selection of food ingredients. Meanwhile, in modern markets such as minimarkets and supermarkets that offer a lot of international products, local food ingredients will be difficult to find. If found, the price will be higher than what is sold in traditional markets.


TRADITIONAL MARKET CONDITIONS


Some people hate visiting traditional markets because the conditions for traditional markets are often wet, crowded and very uncomfortable to visit. However, is this always the case in every traditional market?

I do not fully agree with that opinion. Indeed, in my city, there are several traditional markets that do look dirty and very uncomfortable to visit. There is a strong smell of a mixture of live fish, chicken and fowl which makes the smell in the market make us uncomfortable. But apart from the bad things I mentioned earlier, of course there are traditional markets which are also comfortable to visit. So it really takes care from us to choose a traditional market that is worth visiting.

This time I visited a traditional market in the city of Banda Aceh. This is a strange city for me, but I feel quite comfortable here, especially for doing weekly vegan shopping this time.

Weekly vegan shopping of course has a lot of advantages here. In terms of market conditions, it doesn't look dirty, wet or have a strong odor.

Another thing is I really like the way the sellers arrange the display of stuffs in front of their shop. It looks colorful which manages to give me a cheerful atmosphere. And, I hope it will also create a pleasant atmosphere for other people who visit this traditional market.

There are many types of vegetables that I usually buy when I'm in a traditional market in my city. I will share some vegetables or fruit that I managed to buy when I explored vegan ingredients at this traditional market.


Well, there are many shops available in this traditional market area. So we can choose to visit the space we want. For me, I prefer to choose to shop in a store that looks quiet. That's like providing income for the store. Besides, I don't like shopping in a jostling manner. So it's better to choose a shop that is not too crowded to visit.


CHOOSE QUALITY VEGETABLES AND FRUIT

The availability of lots of vegetables and fruits makes us have to be smart in choosing the ingredients we will buy. That's because usually vegetables or fruit overlap and make some parts of the vegetables or fruit not as good as their condition at first.

So our job is to make sure and choose the things we want to buy are of good quality. I always choose the ingredients I want to buy myself. But you can ask the seller for help to choose it for you.

For me, I'm more content to choose the things I want to buy myself. It is my responsibility when later there are items that do not match my expectations.


It does take a little longer if we choose the ingredients we want by ourselves. That's fine for me. I feel very happy to do that. I chose carrots, chilies, mustard greens, chilies, onions, garlic, tomato.


INSIDE MY SHOPPING BAG

After getting the things I wanted, I finally asked the seller to calculate the total price I had to pay.

I bought a ripe papaya, mustard greens; pumpkin shoots, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, red chilies, garlic, onions, tomatoes, spring onions.

For total groceries, I only paid 2 dollars. That's very cheap in my opinion with the vegan ingredients that I bought! What do you think?


Well, that was my activity for a fun weekly vegan shopping. I hope you guys also have a great time if you are shopping at your favorite market.




Thank you for reading my blog and reblog if you want my blog this time worthy of reading by others.

A market with a huge variety of fruits and vegetables, some of them I don't know and they look very exotic, the great thing about this is that you can prepare an infinite number of recipes.
Sometimes when I go to the supermarket I find it difficult to choose the ingredients to cook a different recipe, I have to give free rein to my imagination and creativity haha.
I wish you a happy Sunday, big hugs! @anggreklestari

Many exotic Fruits and veggies here. Such as jackfruit, Papaya.

Tradisional market often offers better groceries option 🌸🙂

Hi @anggreklestari, the local markets offer a great variety of fresh produce and at very good prices, they usually come directly from the producer to the market, without intermediaries, which lowers the prices to the consumer.

There are many vegetables in that market, you have several options to choose from and prepare delicious recipes.

Greetings!

You are right. Many product comes from farmer directly, so the price Will be cheap 🙂

I see the pumpkin tops you've mentioned in the other post and the chillies are looking beautifully hot hehehehe

I'm actually also not a fan of buying my groceries for the same reasons you've mentioned like the smell, bustle and loudness. Fortunately the one near my house is in better conditions and the poultry and fish stalls are separate from the vegetables, so that helps. I do have to be in good company or need to have a good reason to visit the market though and that's usually the price and assurance of fresh goods.

That's great when you can found better market without sucks smell ehehe

How are you dear friend @anggreklestari good afternoon
It will always be the best option to make purchases in traditional markets, in addition, it allows you to have direct contact with those people who deal with planting.
Excellent purchase, enjoy it

Hello there I hope you find interesting market there :)

Wow. Your market is very attractive.Your veggie shopping moments was excellent. This market get variety types of vegetables. So neat and clean traditional market. Thanks for sharing friend.

So many option for clean space. And what I love is the cheap price there and I got nice quality of the fruit and veggie

I really like your market and the colorful fresh vegetables. For a long time, I didn't taste ripe jackfruit. thank you for sharing. ❤️😊

Those ripe jackfruit so sweet. I hope you can find and taste them again one day

Woa, this is really cheap! you bought a lot of things and all of them is just $2. I need to move to Indonesia. I'm with my girlfriend right now btw. I'm waiting for your cool recipes to try 😋

One of the reason people like to holiday in Indonesia, cheaper lifestyle ehehe. But when you choose Bali, maybe a bit expensive but still around "cheaper" :)

Hmm, but when I go to modern market, so expensive 😀 so better to go traditional market, then try to make interaction with local people. So much fun :)

Of course, I will try to bargain with the local people. I hope this is normal there 😅.

I love and miss jackfruit so much. 💗

So many leaves and sprouts, I like them, they are so nice to use in fresh recipes. I like to grow them so from these posts I'm learning about vegetables that I didn't know you could eat sprouts haha that's the only kind of crops I can get here so I'm learning all I can about them to keep growing my own. Nice post!

The same is true in my country. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also found in the traditional markets.

iya saya termasuk yang kurang suka ke pasar tradisional, karena terlalu ramai,jalanan kadang becek, kecuali lagi ada kebutuhan mendesak, jadi saya lebih suka belanja di warung dekat rumah atau belanja online 🤭
