Pictures Of Vegetables: Fresh Vegetables And Fruit In Open Markets In Vegetable Pictures.

Pictures of Vegetables in China and Vietnam; Vegetable Pictures From Hongkong Stall.

** **

The pictures of vegetables shown on these pages were taken in fruit and vegetable markets in China and Vietnam. There are pictures of vegetables in Jinghong, China, and in Hanoi, Vietnam, and pictures of vegetables from other markets in China. Vegetables sold in both these countries always appeared fresh, and the customers picked and and chose the ones they wanted. In the vegetable pictures from the China markets and Vietnam markets, there are no pre-packed items shown.

In the open markets in these countries, the stall-holder might be selling only a few apples, or a few fresh vegetables, from a garden or a farm, to supplement their income or to dispose of surplus produce. Most people have the ability to grow their own vegetables, and in the year 2009 this is becoming more popular. Some people say that the best tasting green peas are those we grow ourselves, and can pick, cook, and eat, on the same day!

**********************************************************

If you travel in China by train, you will see small terraces on hills or banks, where the local people are making the best use they can of the available ground to grow their own vegetables. Perhaps the vegetables are grown to sell in the local markets to supplement their income. You will often see farmers on the pavements in countryside towns and villages, displaying a few vegetables or fruits, that they are trying to sell. In the early mornings, if there is an open

market in the towns, you may see men and women carrying baskets of vegetables or fruit, with the use of shoulder-poles, making their way to the markets hoping to sell their goods while they are still fresh looking. If fruits and vegetables are not fresh when taken to the markets, it is unlikely that they will be sold at very good prices. The greater demand is for fresh vegetables and fruits, and the buyers and sellers will agree the best price to suit them both.

Enjoy looking at these vegetable pictures , and use your imagination to taste their freshness! Better still why not try to grow your own vegetables and then when you eat them, you will relish the freshness of vegetables that you have picked, or dug up, in your own "garden" whether this is a good sized plot of land, or just some growing medium that you have put in a box.

Home grown tomatoes have a smell and taste that you will rarely, if ever, experience with the tomatoes you buy from the shops. Growing tomatoes is not an impossible task and you will be surprised how quickly you will become an 'expert' at providing fresh fruit and vegetables for your own kitchen. Unfortunately, the taste and smell of fresh vegetables can not be experienced from these vegetable pictures !
