Visiting an Indian vegetable market for the first time - learning Indian food culture

[@madhavkopalle]

I am so happy that your mother doesn't judge,give unnecessary opinions and has a very positive impact on everyone around her. Her demeanor is outstanding and very likeable. Annika has wonderful grandmothers and joyful grandfather. Beautiful family around Annika. What a bond little Annika is.

My mom was a special education teacher before retiring so i think work like that has taught also her a lot, like that non-judgmental attitude and trying to understand different people 😊

Watching these vlogs is like watching mini documentaries, with heartfelt and well thought out narration. Not chaotic like most vlogs. I really appreciate how your mom is open to the new experiences of India...experiences which are real and not just the typical touristy things media often shows esp when you think of Rajasthan. Her respect towards all has earned her our respect 🙏

Thanks a lot, I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos! I’d love to make more of the mini documentary style videos in the future 😊

I'd like to point a mistake. India has more food than western world. That explains the low price of food compared to western countries. That is the reason why India is so populated since ancient times. People settled in India back in ancient days due to easy availability of Food.

[@somde9731]

Correctly pointed out. There is no land more fertile than this sub-continent. The variety and abundance of vegetables and food crops is unmatched anywhere in this world. Her ignorance in declaring India as 'food scarce' nation is foolish to say the least.

[@tarunium]

India has one of the highest malnutrition rates in the world. It doesn't matter if the country grows a lot of food if there are still millions of people without access to adequate nutrition. Please try looking outside your middle class bubble at how the poor in India actually live.

[@bendover-bz4bc]

Then why are indians flocking to usa and Europe leaving their country ? Canadian government is having hard time because of huge number of applications coming from india for visa and PR 🤣🤣🤣

[@dsouzadavid80]

And want to add, if India had not been rich, it would not have been looted, attacked and ruled by traitors; albeit Indian hospitality cost a lot by welcoming these ungrateful British , Portuguese, Dutch snd rest all. But as the saying goes, never argue with an idiot and ignorant

"Lack of food in India & overabundance of food & selection in West". I think this statement needs to be put in context. India has climate suitable to do all sorts of agri unlike West. Its only the subsistence farming & poor market linkages across country that give an impression of less.

[@alagammaia2579]

I fully agree. The condescending attitude is typical.

[@dodunair]

Yes. I got bit shocked when this statement was made. There is no scarcity as such n we have much better variety in vegetables compared to the WEST.

[@abhatia3240]

True. Countries like Canada are importing fresh vegetables and fruits for most of the year due to their local climate being harshly cold for many months. Also, we should all be eating seasonally and locally...and vegetarian... as these are the most environment friendly options. The west isn't as smart as they think. They are starting to appreciate the wise, ancient Indian culture...Ayurveda, meditation, yoga etc. It is too sad to see Indians running after the western way of life.

There was a time when mothers first bought what ever "good"( quality wise, price wise and freshnesswise from local farmers market which works usually in the mornings) then decide which dish could be done after considering the likes , dislikes ,diet restrictions of elders, suitability for kids. But today life style changed .First decide menu and search for ingredients. If receipe is not known go for what recipe one knows. India wastes very less vegetables and prepared food.Even markets have different grades of same vegetables or lentils or spices so one gets what exactly one wants.
