We visit a farmers’ market most days. We typically buy a few things, but mostly just look around. The farmers’ market is not a new thing for us. Our home market in Minneapolis is much larger than what we have on Kuaui. Both locations offer produce I cannot identify and have not eaten. The Minneapolis market has many Hmong and Asian farmers who grow things that are evidently edible, but not things I have knowingly eaten. Hawaii just has fruits and vegetables not native to the midwest.
Sometimes I recognize the product, but the size and taste are different. They evidently cannot grow tomatoes here. What they offer are small. Even I can grow tomatoes. Now avocados are a different matter. Cindy bought one today. It weighed a little over 3 pounds. The one I took a picture of was smaller, but still bigger than a softball.
The guacamole made with these giant avocados is great. Perhaps the ones sent to the Midwest are better for storage and shipping.
