I was quite surprised as I strolled by at 11:30 and was so curious from the great fruit and vegetable selection outside, I had to take a gander inside. Outside was more of interest to me, as my jaw dropped due to the pricing structure. In my neighborhood of Forest Hills, you couldn't buy rotten fruit and vegetables at these prices. Fourty nine cents a pound for a third of Mazals offerings? Unheard of in most every neighborhood regardless of ethnicity. As I was in route to meet a my girlfriend, I only could explore for a few moments. So with an open handed upward thrust, I bagged two handfuls if pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and peanuts. Once I was rung up my bill was $5.25. Open 24 hours!

This time I picked up some sapota or sapodilla. I used to eat this fruit back home in India but now that I live here is nice to know there's a place that sells them. I bought 3 lbs of fruit for $15. That seems pricey for the average Joe but these fruit are not available all the time and the quality was good so I couldn't resist.

But they only last 2 weeks from today 5/24/19, so pay the money and get some fresh lychees. The bigger seeded lychees are $6 a pound, then the loose ones are 3 pounds for $10. They said the $6 a pound are sweeter than the free ones. But the small-seeded lychees are the ultimate! Best-tasting lychees-- small-seeded ones! So sweet and full of juicy lychee flavor you cannot get in a can! Also, cherries are really cheap, cheaper than at other fruit stands or Whole Foods. 2 pounds $3!!!! Last week I paid $6.99 a pound at Whole Foods. Guava $5 a pound. Nothing like a sweet guava from Taiwan. Mangoes 2 for $1. Cheaper than at Whole Foods. Bring your cash! I can easily spend $50 no problem. I saw a lady buy 6 bunches of the $15 a pound lychees. Bring yo cash. Not sure if this is the one I go to: Mullberry at Canal.

The earlier in the day I suspect the fresher the product. International selection and more traditional items familiar to those of US. Many greens today, different squares, several varieties of mango, ginger and galangal, mushrooms, apples, melons, fresh water chestnuts & tomatoes....there was conch and crab also available today, along with some housewares. Bring your backpack, extra bags, cart and/or suitcase. Do not forget our local farmers at farmer's markets but the selection and circumstance may be factors in your visit.

This is a small deal - run mainly by two different farmers and is fruit and veggie-centric with, of course, lots of cider doughnuts. Today I picked up corn, white peaches, brandywine heirloom tomatoes (red and yellow) and a little basket of gorgeous orange sungold tomatoes. If you haven't had these little orbs of goodness, you must try them. They're delicious when bathed in olive oil then gently grilled and sprinkled with sea salt. Meredith's Bread, a family-run organic, natural bakery from Kingston, NY also has a stand here. So, plan for a picnic - pick up a couple of tomatoes, some peaches or pears and some baked goods and hang out in Prospect Park for a few hours. Enjoy!
