Another perk of living in Turkey is the weekly bazaar 🍅 🥕🫒 where you can buy all the fresh and natural ingredients from people in the villages! this is the way - selling the surplus to others, instead of profit maxi selling the things or food that you don't even use or eat yourself.
And do you know that natural veggies are quite small? It seems a. it's easier to sell this way, b. natural ingredients get rotted really fast, so you sell them when they are almost "ready," which made me think about what I have been eating from the supermarkets or food chains...they are sitting on the shelf and are so "green" for days...
I think some Japanese farmers will have the opposite idea. They can grow just one watermelon on their land so that it absorbs all the nutrients and turns out to be really gigantic. Then it is sold as a premium watermelon at luxury stores haha

I don't really mind the size haha, as long as it's natural, being cared with love ( from good people ) and fair price, then I'm happy to buy that:)
also buying from bazaar you can always have a taste before buying anything.
