Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY Here's a few tip about bananas at the Rochester Public Market:

1. The price/lb. is often no different than in local supermarkets.
2. They are often over ripe, or when green, they ripen differently than store bought one.
3. The Dole ones sold in plastic bags have a funny taste and often ripen with a foul taste as if the...y were kept in cold storage too long or experienced some other storage problem.

Below is a link re bananas. They say eating one a day fulfills the average adult requirement for potassium in the diet.

They never lasted more than a day when I bought them so I stopped buying them.....they went from nicely ripe to spotty to yuh-uh-keee within hours. Ex-husband was a produce manager for 38 years. You know most bananas are gassed, right? I didn't tell you that...........

Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY Teaser from linked article:

"Ask Questions:


Make sure to ask questions of the vendors when you see unfamiliar
produce. I learned about edamame, or fresh soybeans, last year at the
St. Paul's farmers market and they have become a favorite addition to
my meals in summertime. Vendors and farmers love to share their
knowledge an...d can even give you recipes and cooking tips."

Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY "The Great Depression lasted from 1929 until World War II (1941-1945). A partial recovery of the Dow (E-F) ended in 1937 (F).The most troubling attribute of the chart is the severe Bear Market which began in 1937 and ended in 1942 after a decline of 52% (F-G)."

What is "Pozole?"

The market today is much more consumer-friendly than in years past. And it is a great example of the kind of regional food shopping that people in other areas would die to have at hand.

I have lived in the Chicago suburbs for the past 25 years and we have nothing to compare. A few Farmers' Markets here and there, but nowhere near the scale of the Rochester Public Market. Treasure it!

Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY I bought some kiwis today at the public market because I had heard that
they promote good digestion in that they have a high fiber content and
have natural enzymes that help digest proteins.



Rather than take a pic of my 3 small kiwis that I got for a buck, I
have attached a really cool link about them from a web page calle...d
"all-creatures.org."



It's graphics are superb, better than my pics would have been. And, it's content top-notch.



Try it. You might like it.

Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY We try to do these non-scientific price checks once each quarter so the over 3000 fans of the RocPubMart can compare prices with the box store supers, convenience, or small grocery stores they normally frequent for like food stuffs as sold at the Public Market.

Feel free to make comments on the pics or, better yet, upload your own to the fan page.

For the hoarder in you.

(what ever happened to Y2K?)

More and more people are taking advantage of opportunities to buy items in bulk, either from a sale at their grocery store, online or at a warehouse store. Buying in bulk can both save money and cut down on trips to the store. ...
