I see massive slicing, canning and freezing in your near future. That's a lot of produce to eat before it is over-ripe.
The mangoes will be frozen for smoothies or made into chutney/salsa.
The bananas will be made into bread or frozen- the kids' and dh's favorite.
Oranges will be juiced.
Everything else is manageable quantities.
Looks wonderful!!!!! Almost makes those other prices seem tolerable...
Is fish inexpensive there as well?
Dairy and convenience insanely high?
What do you do with the plantains?
What a great experience for your family.
sooo not fair!! You got a lot better deal than I did today at our farmer's market.
Wow Lisa! That is a great haul for produce! Love everything but the mangoes. (not that I don't like them but umm swelling of the face and mouth is a good deterrent. )
Julie- fish is very cheap. I'm not sure of dairy prices in the states, but I pay about $4.50 for a gallon of whole milk. Most processed food is very pricey.
