The Ethnobotany of a Tropical Fruit Market

Thanks to Clara Mullins for directing our attention to this very interesting short YouTube video about a visit to a tropical fruit market in Ecuador. 

There are some fruits and vegetables which you might recognize and many which you will not. Many of these things can be grown in our area.  Several are grown in the VegHedz garden.  Some we have tried with mixed success.  

Then there’s the problem of knowing what processing they need in order to be palatable.  We’re often not familiar with them and they’re not a part of our culture. Maybe this video will give you some ideas.
