[@janalderton8644]

So cool! I love this field trip!

[@pammaxwell3875]

Unfortunately farmer markets like this are rare.

[@Kathleen-b8c]

This is 14th st, NYC

[@janice2992]

What an absolutely wonderful market. Better than I have ever seen in UK

[@Spangletiger]

The problem with street markets is that the sellers, like grocers and supermarkets, tend to buy their produce from wholesalers and also tend to 'play safe' and only offering produce that most shoppers are familiar with. I guess that's understandable given that they are selling fresh produce that won't stay fresh for long. If you live in or near to a city or large town, you might be lucky enough to find some stalls that cater for different cultures eg selling produce used in South East Asian or Caribbean dishes. They are a great way to discover new ingredients and the stall holders will be able to tell you how the produce is prepared, cooked and eaten. We do have farmers' markets too, in some areas, where the stalls are run by the produce growers. As they tend to farm on a small scale, they can be more adventurous in what they grow, so that is where you will see more variety. Their produce is more likely to be grown organically or, at least less intensively, and will have been freshly picked. As the stall holders have grown their own produce, they will also be knowledgeable about their produce. You can sometimes find these growers in regular town markets too. If you live in or near a rural area, you might find local growers who sell on site or offer a box delivery service.

Or Australia.

[@foryoutube3567]

@@Spangletiger Union Square, where this is shot, has local farmers from the tri-state for the most part. Maybe the potted plants are from a supplier, but most of the fruits and veg are sold in individual stalls for each farm.

[@cindyjackson108]

Thanks Dr. Li as usual. I appreciate all you do and share with us. 😊

[@Travellergirl76]

Where is this coming from? I've never seen such a wonderful market - not even in San Francisco where it was the best - but this is even bigger and better! Thanks!

[@foryoutube3567]

That's Union Square in NYC. My former office was right across the street. It looks like it's summer, though, so this isn't a current video.

[@TheNatasha66]

Happy and Healthy New Year Dr. William Li! 🍏 Looking forward to more of your videos in the coming year!!!

[@SRoyalty]

Where is this market? Great information, thank you

[@lillianrislow7154]

[@valerieedwards9452]

Thanks so much Dr Li . That was a very interesting tour. Have always wanted to visit one of these markets to get the very. fresh and healthy fruits and vegetables. All good wishes for a Healthy, Happy Productive and Prosperous New Year.

[@jjjames6894]

Love these episodes

[@JudithBuxton]

Absolutely brilliant video!!!!! Wish we had a market like it near us. Jolly interesting listening about the different fruits and vegetables. Thank you

[@dangcoppock7362]

I am in the East Coast. I am so envious the People whose can go and buying all the good vegetables in this marketplace. Everything looks so fresh, not like in the Supper Market…!

[@Asta2121]

I live on the east coast in S. carolina. We have a farmers market every saturday. Not as many choices but many things that I cant buy even in the stores such as purple potatoes, homemade sourdough bread, micronutrient veggies. However if you have a grocery like Fresh Market, fresh thyme etc it helps. Maybe even see if you can entice a farmers market in your community!

[@kaittemurry4740]

Where are you? Here. In Colorado in the Spring I can buy herb plants for under 5$.. it's 7$ 7.28$ worth credit card that's crazy

[@maria9567]

This is in NYC - Union Square :) We have farmer's markets all over the place. Come!

[@xinrongren6993]

Wonderful marketplace! So many amazing fresh vegetables! I wonder where this marketplace is?

It’s tough to eat seasonally on the northeast coast in winter.

[@gomezgandr4435]

I just love everything he says... Thank you Dr Lee.

[@marty56443]

Very interesting video. Thank You for the different approach.

[@kariarvisais8588]

Hi Dr. Li, Can you talk about Sodium Benzoate please. I recently bought some dill pickles from the store-sold in the refrigerator section. I noticed after I got home and was eating the pickles, there is sodium benzoate listed on the jar. I know that it is often used as a preservative, but that doesn't make it healthy, and pi kles have white vinegar and salt in the brine to preserve.. As I was searching hing for Sodium Benzoate, I saw an article that noted how sodium benzoate when mixed with ascorbic acid, creates a carcinogen. Makes me wonder why many people are developing cancers. Apparently, sodium benzoate is in a lot of foods and sodas.

[@chefboyartty]

Make your own pickles, they are super easy!

Would love to know the location of this market and info. Might be worth a trip for some of your followers

[@NaturalHealthyHabits]

Thank you, Dr. Li, for such an insightful tour through the farmers market! 🌿 [2:15] I love the focus on cherries and their potential to reduce inflammation and dementia risk-definitely adding them to my diet. [5:30] The tip about carrot tops being twice as beneficial as the root was mind-blowing; I’ve been throwing them away all this time! [10:45] Your advice on Swiss chard and nitric oxide production is a game-changer for blood vessel health. Question: Do you have any specific recommendations for combining these foods into easy, inflammation-fighting meals?

[@SparklesOfArizona]

Wonderful, thank you. ❤ Wish we had this in New England winters. ❤

[@foryoutube3567]

To be fair, this is Union Square in NYC. It doesn't look like this right now, although we do get a lot of seasonal plant foods like squashes.

[@iamslbc]

Swiss chard. Yes, cut off the stems. Chop them into small pieces and either start them in the pan to soften before adding the chopped leaves OR pop the stems in the freezer until you make your next soup. Why waste what is actually good food? It just needs more cooking time.

[@moniquepigeon2906]

Was wondering where this market is located? Thank you and Happy New Year Dr. Li and everyone following you 🥳🍾

[@dustinpotter8312]

Young radish seed pods are great in a fresh salad. Radish taste very little if any heat. Bound to be good for you. One radish plant will produce seed pods almost all summer long.

[@judyzennnaro7336]

I love veggies and eat a lot the problem is, I love them with butter.

[@foryoutube3567]

To get the allicin from garlic, crush, cut, or grate it and wait 10-15 minutes before cooking or mixing with an acid like lemon juice.

I wish we had such markets here, in Netherlands I grew variety of mints and basils, but here in barren Iceland its so limited if not having a greenhouse.

[@o0sunsi0o]

Wow, I learned a lot, especially about the beets. Thank you.

[@vanessanda]

I grow Swiss Chard in my garden but I never throw away the stalks! I harvest it when it's still quite young so maybe that's the difference? I substitute Swiss Chard for any recipe with spinach. Thank you Dr Li!

[@Spangletiger]

I could happily eat my way through that market... except for maybe the horseradish jelly - not so much because of the sugar content do much as the fact that the guy who made it kept sticking his finger in his ear! 🤢 Nasturtiums are a good source of vitamin C but they are quite peppery! You can eat the leaves (not just the flowers) fresh in salads and boiled new potatoes taste amazing if you toss them in olive oil and a few fresh leaves, and also them to 'sweat' the pan for few minutes before serving. The seeds can be preserved like capers, taste like capers but, unlike capers, they are had because they are seeds not buds. The plants are ridiculously easy to grow from a couple of seeds and are self-seeding and prolific. They can be grown in open ground, containers, window boxes and even in an average sized plant pot. Amongst those herbs, the purple sage can be steeped in hot water to make a tea that is good for sore throats and coughs, apparently. Personally, I'm not a fan of sage because (to me) it smells a bit like a sweaty armpit. You can fry sage to make it crispy... haven't tried that. I did used to add the flowers (as well as rosemary, thyme and chive flowers) to salads, potatoes and salad dressings. Camomile can be used to make a tea that helps aid sleep. Not sure if that is from the leaves, flowers or both but just a cup will just take the edge off and help you to unwind. Peppermint also makes a great tea but, if you suffer from acid reflux, you might want to give it a miss because it relaxes LES muscle, and you definitely don't need that! Borage flowers are also a herb. These days cucumbers are so tasteless that you need borage just to remember what your cucumber is meant to taste like. The flowers can be added to salads etc. and cold drinks and looks great in ice cubes. If you grow your own, grab the flower by the stamen and gently tug to pick it in one piece. Never let a Pimms drinker near your borage if you want any flowers left. The leaves also taste like cucumber and young leaves can be added to salads (or sandwiches, even). Borage leaves are kind of 'furry' though. Zucchini plants produce male and female flowers. The ones seen in the video, with the straight stems, were male ones. The female ones are larger with the zucchini beginning to form behind them. These are big enough to stuff and, if you are going to stuff zucchini flowers, you might want to grab a bunch of chard, spinach or beetroot leaves and stuff some of those too! Damn, but I'm hungry now! 😂

[@dangcoppock7362]

Zucchini flowers, it’s similar pumpkin flowers we Asian People eating it when. It’s available…!

[@cathyc3869]

Thank you very, very informative and interesting. Everything looks delicious. Where are you? What country what city I want to go to that farmers market it is wonderful thank you for sharing. Happy 2025. Appreciate you very much.

Union Square. 14th Street in New York City. My favorite stall is Norwich Meadow Farms. Completely organic and extensive selection, even Jerusalem artichokes.

[@christadavis7299]

Dr. Lee, in South Africa we call the first edible flowers you'd shown, 'kappertjies'😂

[@sillililli01]

If you want to grow these plants, know that it can take seven years to harvest seeds and three years to harvest bulbs. They can be foraged, but digging up the plant destroys it.

[@taijero]

Like bokchoy in my soup

[@lseh4720]

Oxalates--my oxalates numbers went through the roof recently. I think it’s because I started eating Swiss chard and a little more nuts

[@Rachelle-l4m]

Yep almost all plants have oxalates. Spinach having the most. Then raspberries, beets, Swiss chard and beans.. all the best foods 😕

[@CC-kl4nh]

Dr. Li. The problem with food is high salt sugar to preserve them.

Hi Doctor William Li this is Michael from California in your opinion what are the healthiest seeds to Live a healthier Longer life like they do in Japan and Europe I could use your advice friends and your colleagues advice I really enjoying you helpful caring advice but I really need your help so all people or persons get truly in the wonderful caring affordable healthcare in the united State and the healthcare just does not benefit the Mega rich like they get in congress the president and the supreme courts
