all right another Wednesday another souk we got some requests to talk about the cost of
living so fruits and veggies can be going to a bit more detail about that today and
we'll see you at the souk and if you haven't done so check out our
other videos about quarantine and life in Morocco here as expats be
sure to LIKE subscribe and share the videos alright let's go where are we going I have
always wear protection but today he's going to open
the store no very good get nothing village life
what do we have here and what do we have here my favorite doors we have our nice
primary color of tile work and a mosaic of fine gemstones surrounding the door this
is a company in five people maybe this Suki's open you think so yeah the ocean
oh and here do this here is the soup
Cana souk there exists the soup McCain's LaHood's
there's no fish ah shoosh LaHood I don't see the fish
that's a kilo kilo stop keep keep keep the same right it smells nice
it's got good texture to it it looks nice it's ready to be eaten soften
everybody gets a bucket and then you put your veggies in the bucket and then the
way your bucket pretty fresh little sandy not too much on there good I used to work
on a farm used to harvest beets and sell them for side plenty of beets to eat so
I needed to learn to cook them and to use all the parts of the plant so you know let's be the
small get some good greens on delicious the many are DRM or two kilos of these
they have cherries andrea sees cherries something new at the souk
she's never been here at this time of year and she discovers cherries
how much
little farmers market secret is if you get these good enough they're
also very delicious the zucchini flowers or courgette flowers they could be stuffed
with cheese and nuts and then baked or fried and they're very delicious
they taste like the I was told differently no red is for blood and green is for Islam
beautiful how much for this bucket tender
what do we have here seems to be some sort of strange hairy
course yet it looks like a lot of small ones that grow too big then
start go through puberty and grew some hair these are twice the price
and everything here is 3d around the kilo today cherry tomatoes 3 beer in the kilo thoughts about
under 20 cents a pound for those in the US so we've made it back from the soup today and we
brought the smells of the Sioux comb and it smells so wonderful we have two melons kilo of strawberry
drafts which are Moroccan like fried dough cookies delicious half kilo peanuts 200 grams of walnuts
over a kilo of beats kilo cherry tomatoes kilo mixed peach and nectarine kilo of apples kilo
of bananas some amount of cauliflower we got regular Tomatoes 2 bell peppers red and yellow
we have courgettes garlic with some flowers that fell off radish onion potatoes eggplants we got
our green beans and finally some pumpkin and our mixed herbs we have coriander parsley and mint
to round this off how much was that we just did our calculations and the grand total for all this
was a hundred eighty three D room so a little less than $20 for 20 euros we brought two backpacks so
I used to go to the souk and live alone I'd bring 200-year room and two backpacks and I wouldn't be
able to spend the 200 dirham both backpacks would be completely full I'd be sweaty walking up the
hills and the stairs of Tagus ooh so about 200 bucks and you have food for a lot of meals here
you know it will probably buy some other stuff in the week but as you can see this is plenty of food
for at least one person for the we're several here so we're gonna be buying some more stuff but as
you can see crop the cost of fruit and veggie here in maroc is quite affordable it's all very fresh
and I believe 98% of food in Morocco is actually produced and grown in Morocco so everything you
see here was most likely from Morocco there's some pepper where'd the pepper go we lose the pepper
mm-hmm we had a bag of black pepper and that was from Brazil the spice man said that the red pepper
comes from Morocco so I hope you enjoyed seeing our trip to the souk today and seeing what all
this cost if you have any specifics about more cost of living in Morocco or the fruits and
veggies or what life is like here as expat please let me know make sure you like subscribe share or
check out our video when we went to the souk the week before or investigate why exactly I came to
America sorry scratch that why I came to Morocco and left America be sure to check out the other
videos and I thank you very much for coming with us along on the journey thank you hamdulillah
