Veggie Shopping # 3 Veggie Family Shopping💚💚/ Compras veganas familiares
At home we do vegetable market on Saturdays. It's an open-air market where many farmers from the paramo and the southern town come with their vegetables.
They are much fresher and cheaper, as well as a great variety. Lately the market has diversified its products:
Fruits
Vegetables
Medicinal plants
Cereals
Grains
Decorative plants
Flowers
Prepared food
Every Saturday is family day out, Sasha stays at home. I walk the first part of the market with my husband and my dad goes with Santiago to the park. There are a lot of people and I don't like that they are too close to Santi.
Then halfway through the market the space is bigger, and Santiago joins in the shopping, he loves to pick tomatoes, potatoes and onions, his criteria is: the biggest.
We always buy a torta💚 they are very tasty, our favorite is carrot. But they make zucchini, chocolate and pumpkin.
We also buy the cambures from Santi where a gentleman who has served me for 13 years, imagine that. His vegetables are always a little bigger than usual, and now he always jokes with my little boy. I have known him since I arrived in Merida.
One of the things we always buy is coconut, specifically the dried coconut, since I learned to make coconut milk and flour, it is always there, although sometimes we eat it as a snack.
To choose the coconut, the first thing is that it is not cracked, then check that it sounds water inside, the other thing is to observe the holes of the coconut, I learned that when they are dark coconut is rich in fat (to make oil)...Now we use everything from the coconut, even the shell.
Another thing we almost always do is to buy some medicinal plants, the lady is very kind and has beautiful plants.
On the way back we buy food for Sasha, broccoli, chard, beets, which is what she likes the most and is doing well in her new diet.
When we arrive home she receives us with a lot of love and ready to eat, just like Santiago. So have been the last Saturdays at the little market.
Thanks for reading me 💚
En casa hacemos mercado de verduras los sábados. Es un mercado a cielo abierto donde vienen muchos agricultores del páramo y del pueblo del sur con sus hortalizas.
Son mucho más frescas y económicas, además de una gran variedad. Últimamente el mercado se ha diversificado en sus productos:
Frutas
Vegetales
Plantas medicinales
Cereales
Granos
Plantas decorativas
Flores
Comida preparada
Todos los sábados son día de salir en familia, Sasha se queda en casa. El primer tramo del mercado lo recorro con mi esposo y mi papá va con Santiago al parque. Hay mucha gente y no me agrada que estén muy cerca de Santi.
Luego a mitad de mercado el espacio es más grande, y Santiago se incorpora a las compras, le encanta escoger tomates, papás y cebollas, su criterio es: lo más grande.
Siempre compramos un torta💚 son muy sabrosas, nuestra favorita es la de zanahoria. Pero hacen de calabacín, de chocolate y de auyama.
También compramos los cambures de Santi dónde un señor que me ha atendido por 13 años, imagínense. Sus hortalizas siempre son un poco más grande de lo común, y ahora siempre bromea con mi pequeño. Lo conozco desde que llegué a Mérida.
Una de las cosas que siempre compramos es coco, específicamente el coco seco, desde que aprendí hacer la leche de coco y la harina, no falta, aunque a veces nos lo comemos de merienda
Para escoger el coco, lo primero es que no esté agrietado, luego revisar que suene agua por dentro, lo otro es observar los huecos del coco, aprendí que cuando están oscuros el coco es rico es grasa (para hacer aceite)..Ahora aprovechamos todo del coco, hasta la concha.
Otra cosa que hacemos casi siempre es comprar alguna planta medicinal, la sra es muy amable y tiene plantas hermosas.
De regreso compramos comida para Sasha, lo que es brocoli, acelga, remolacha que es lo que más le gusta y le va bien en su nueva dieta.
Cuando llegamos a casa nos recibe con mucho amor y lista para comer, igual que Santiago. Así han Sido los últimos sábados en el mercadito
