Mexico Cooks! continues its photographic tour of August's seasonal bounty. This week we visited several tianguis in Morelia to see what's available.
Locally grown ejote (green beans) are eight pesos the kilo this week. I bought half a kilo for today's comida.
Elote (ears of corn) are relatively tender right now–if
they're just-cut and you cook them immediately! Wait till tomorrow and
you won't be able to sink your teeth into them.
Flor de calabaza (squash flowers) are in season as long as calabacitas are in season.
This huge manojo (bunch) was priced at five pesos.
Jitomate roma (plum tomatoes) weighed in at 10 pesos per kilo.
Zanahoria (carrots) cost just 2.5 pesos per kilo right now!
