Bitter but tasty and amazing anti oxidants they clean your body and if you can handle some bitterness its marvelous.

All kinda veggies very healthy, these veggies lower your blood pressure. I say eat it anyway but go to a doctor if you're sick. The local spinach so nice creamy and buttery ones you cook it, my favorite veggie.

Pineapple and dragon fruit so colorful

It doesn't cost much and so healthy, the pineapple stand.

String beans, Celery leaves so much flavor and so tasty

Home made chutneys

Galangal has the same nutritional values as ginger, its lovely in meat dishes, fish dishes, in soups and so on, it's even nice in tea

Little dried fish, some are salty, dried little shrimp very tasty in your food and very cheap

All kinds of seasonal fruits, this red fruit, pommerac, is sweet and sour and full of vitamin C

In the interior the fruit grows high up in trees, you peel the skin and eat the inside. Because we did not have these processed candies in my youth we indulged eating all these wonderful fruits. They also make an oil of Maripa

This is a local stand with beautiful native surinamese products, they also have pimba to shrink the vagina and lots of ginger

Because the sun does its work all tomatoes are tasty and here you see the yucca once more.

A nutty fruit you cook in salt water and eat it, its great for your digestion. Para nuts is what we call Brazilian nuts, passion fruit there are several sorts in Suriname, the Indian nut is the red one and this lady also has yucca bread filled with sweet coconut, yummy!

They say if heals cancer, I do not believe in that, go to a doctor if and when ur sick. I do believe that a lot of spices and leaves are great supplements on top of your daily routine, great to boost your immune system, but please do not believe in mambojambo

I love how surinamese people come up with their own word and names for things. Hidden peanuts

Once you peel them open you find velvet white beans which are very sweet in them

Yucca, coconut, one big feast at the market

Go early in the morning, it's so lovely to be there, on the side you have a lot of food stands for roti, Indonesian food and upstairs you go for clothing

Depending on where you are try to eat local and seasonal food. Here in NYC a lot is imported. You do not know how people in other countries grow the veggies or fruit, on what soil, so take good care!

Nice asparagus good to clean your body, they make you pee smell after eating them

New Yorker love healthy food, fresh fish, lots of scallops and other shell fish you can see here it's all on ice and the cod is gorgeous. BTW it does smell fresh

Full of nutrition nice in a salad or in a casserole

Always on the hunt for the best ingredients

Try to eat local and seasonal, that is totally in balance with nature and it will be beneficial for your body
