Fresh Fruits And Vegetables Street Market In Santo Domingo | Dominican Republic

[@RT-xj4sd]

I was in Punta Cana oh my goodness, on the street fresh food everywhere, I stop so many time, they tasted delicious.. no preservatives.. DR is the best ..

[@NorberisR]

Yesss the food is always fresh.

[@kennethherring3894]

The prices of food is expensive in the Los cacicazgos area, especially in the downtown center grocery store. It’s like being back home in America. I noticed that I found better fruit and vegetables in the street markets than supermarkets! And every time I’m back in the DR 🇩🇴 I always get a 2 gallon container and go fill it up with coconut water, it’s a must, it’s the most hydrating drink you can have. Santo Domingo is my second home.

[@NorberisR]

Yes area like Los Cacicazgos the foods in those supermarkets are more expensive because of the area. Pretty much same here in Naco verses typical Dominican neighborhoods.

[@vernonedmonds8596]

This video was very practical ... good comparison video of market vs. grocery prices. The family squabble with little cutie protecting papi was priceless. 😆 The coconut water is an acquired taste 💯

[@NorberisR]

Lol. Thanks. It is an acquired taste. They both do not like coconut water😂

[@RaySmith79]

Fresh fruits everywhere.

[@voz2voz]

Next to regular water Coconut water is the best, especially the "roasted coconut water". It is so refreshing.

[@NorberisR]

Never had roasted coconut water.

[@voz2voz]

@@NorberisR I think they may take the water from brown coconuts rather than green. GOYA & FOCO are the ones I've tried, very delicious. I like regular as well.

[@Dee-pj7hh]

To be real about it. Those prices there seems a little bit less than the prices where I shop here; plus I am sure most of the fruits are organic there. I will go over the prices with my receipt after I finish grocery shopping against the prices in your video this weekend. Again a well thought out and informative video. That fruit market is like paradise to me.

I was waiting on this video! Excellent job!. I like how you compare and contrast between the fruit market and the supermarket. I also like the extra tip on whether or not some items are a good price or not. Question: Do they sell spinach in the DR? I didn't see it in either place.

[@NorberisR]

Awesome! Thank you! Yes they do sell spinach. I don't remember seeing any in the market. You can find it mostly in Supermarkets. Not many people each spinach here.

. That's how you gotta do it if you move out there. You'd save crazy money. You should get a separate freezer pill all your products and freeze it. In NYC a pilled coconut will cost you @ USD$2.50. He doesn't wants to try the coconut you were drinking because in his mind, coconut water have to be very sweet. Let him know there's no sugar added,lol. Coconut water will hydra you faster than regular water. That's the same as an I.V. With the carambolas, you can make vinegar.
