Okra
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okra
........................""""""""""""""Based on the rising experiences with its country cousin, kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), okra could, at least in principle, have a future producing yet more things that are strange for a vegetable crop, including:
Construction materials. (Kenaf-blend panels are said to perform better than the present particleboard.)
Handicrafts. (Kenaf fiber makes excellent mats, hats, baskets, and more.)
Forage. (Chopping up the whole kenaf plant and feeding it to animals has proven successful.)
Fuel. (Kenaf roots and stems burn fiercely.) """"""""""""""
southernfood.about.com/library/weekly/aa081401b.htm
southernfood.about.com/od/okra/r/blbb509.htm
"""""""""One suggestion for handling okra so that it is not slimy: While okra is still whole, rinse thoroughly, pat completely dry with toweling. Place whole pods in zip lock freezer bags. Leave in freezer until okra is frozen solid (at least overnight is best). Remove from bag, slice while still frozen. Add immediately to dish - don't allow to thaw even a little, as the water contact is what encourages the slime to come out.
From Stitchwitch:
Just couldn't resist joining the okra slime melee. I don't know where you are but I am writing from Cajun country and here what we do to cut the slime:
When fresh okra is in season, we slice it and then cook it down very slowly in a heavy pot (not cast iron, it darkens it.) with a few fresh or canned tomatoes, onions, garlic and about a tablespoon or so of vinegar. Plain old white vinegar. All of this is mixed up and cooked covered until oka is tender. We refer to this as "Smothered Okra." It is usually seasoned with salt, black pepper and cayenne. It can be eaten as is or cooled and frozen and added to gumbo when we get a little cold weather, like in the 50's. Just thought the great okra debate could use another thought."""""

Farmers' Market. USA, California, Los Angeles (downtown library, 5th street). 18 June 2008. Crimson Heart Pluots®, center (Prunus hybrid). [A pluot (plü-ot) is a tradename for a fruit developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger. In the United States, the fruit is known by most regulatory agencies as an interspecific plum. It is a complex cross hybrid of plum and apricot, being ¾ plum and ¼ apricot in parentage.]
Apricots
When I was in the grocery store on Father's Day, I saw these lovely fruit and asked if I could take a picture. The little lady filling the display had to ask her manager, but she thought the result was pretty...so do I. :) These fruit date back for centuries...seemed pretty traditional to me.

20060915_0996a_''barattiere'' - [varietà di Cucurbis melo L.] - Bari,
20060915_0996a_''barattiere'' - [varietà di Cucurbis melo L.] - Bari, Puglia
Cargado originalmente por giubit
Il barattiere [Cucumis melo L.], si raccoglie immaturo, si mangia crudo senza condimento, spesso accompagnando la pasta asciutta condita con cacioricotta o come ingrediente di diverse insalate.
Il frutto è glabro di forma tendenzialmente sferica a volte leggermente affusolata nella zona peduncolare.
Il peso oscilla intorno a 400-600 g ma possono ritrovarsi anche di oltre 1000 g.
Il colore dell’epicarpo dei frutti immaturi è verde di diversa tonalità, mentre a maturazione fisiologica diventa giallo.
La polpa è dapprima croccante, poi, man mano che il frutto matura, diventa sempre più soffice, sapida e profumata, mentre il colore, all’inizio è verde di varia tonalità e tende al rosato nei frutti più maturi.
E’ gradito dai consumatori per l’assenza del sapore amaro, l’elevato contenuto di acqua, il basso contenuto di zuccheri, la sensazione di freschezza e per la buona digeribilità, sicuramente migliore del cetriolo.
Molto spesso le popolazioni vengono indicate con il colore dell'epicarpo, la forma del frutto o con il nome della località in cui sono state selezionate e mantenute in vita con la coltivazione. Esempi sono il:
-Carosello barese,
-Mezzo lungo di Polignano,
-Carosello tondo di Manduria,
-Carosello bianco leccese, eccetera.

Ostia Market
This photo was taken at the covered Market in Ostia.
More expensive than the open air market I usually go to.
Bananas on the top row with mixed salad and other fruit.
Dal mercato coperto di Ostia.
Piu' costoso di quello aperto.
In prima fila ci sono le banane con poi insalata mista ed altra frutta.

At the Friday Market (although this was on a Monday) in Masafi, UAE. I don't know where all the fruit comes from, but UAE isn't the best place for agriculture. Deserts have a limited number of products that can be produced in them.

Indian market
The vegetable and fruit market was one of my favorite experiences in India. I was full of stupid cultural fears and this was the first place where I went kinda alone (w/o the group) and first really started to interact with the locals. I tried to find out the names of some fruits and vegetables which were unknown to me. They were very kind, one of them even gave me a fruit called kaji. :-)

Green is Life
Because of bad weather so I had to stay in Pokhara one more day.. It's not bad as I could biked to the place i still missed... Actually so lazy to bike because it was hilly but tried to think it's a good exercise... Along the way, it was nothing interesting.. just the road parrallel to the runwway of airport... I was almost gave up and turned back but somehow I continued biking..
Finally I found interesting place... a cross called Prativi Showk and there, an evening market was very livley and colorful.. Market along the pavement and I was happy there seeing real daily life of Nepal...
Only me, a tourist was there among local people.. Remenmer one Japanese economic expert who asked me to take him to observe fresh market... He said it is the good way to see economic of the city in the local fresh market... since then I find local fresh market is very interesting... Sitting on the bus seeing field of corn, I could imagine corn of dinner table or in the market and there it is.. This observation makes the travel always interesting for me...
As Fewa lake and dam is water source for agriculture... so the fresh market was full of green and red.. It was so narrow walkway and my eye was color-blind of these colorful street market.. Till I find this corner ... beautfiul ad colorful..
It was little happiness to see and share the colorful life there... the freshy and colorful vegetables here was so tempting so I finally bought lemons ... just to have hot honey lemon drink while reading and writing diary at night at the hotel ... Just localise myself with the place..
