Ask a market vendor how they choose their best produce
“Market traders can look brisk, but asking about the details of their goods taps into an encyclopedic knowledge of seasons and soil.”
The Recipe
- Go to the busiest fresh produce market or farmers' stall near you.
- Ask the vendor how they tell the finest specimen apart from the rest: the weight, the skin, or the scent.
- Ask them to choose the single piece they would take home themselves today.
- Buy it, eat it as soon as you step away, and taste the difference.
