I’m so grateful to be living here where quality food is affordable, and in abundance!
And for the opportunity to be growing my own food @terrafrutis!
“Everyday is banana day” - multiple different banana (11) and papaya varieties in abundance from the property - jackfruits, tomatoes, lettuce, noni, wild plants, etc. with many other tropical fruit trees flowering/ripening within the next couple of months.
I’m thrilled to soon be trying all the new (to me) tropical fruits while I’m here ☺️
1 hour walk + Bus ride to Gualaquiza - $0.90
21 mangos - $4
10 granadilla - $2
9 beets, big bunch of radishes - $1.50
Medium watermelon - $3
3 soursop - $10
Napa cabbage - $0.50
1 large zucchini - $1
12 apples - $3
12 mandarins - $2
9 Tomatoes - $3

Comparing these prices to the cost of US food and my mind is blown 🤯
The mangoes alone back in the US would have costed me about $~53!
