The pineapple market

There is one section of the fresh market where they sell only pineapple. There are mounds of pineapples, and thousands (so it seems) of bees buzzing around and taking advantage of the juicy samples that are cut open to view.

We eat at least one pineapple every day in a smoothie, so we buy lots of pineapple. You would think it would be expensive, wouldn't you, but . . .

. . .we get a bag of 12 pineapples the size she is holding in her hand (just the right amount for a smoothie with fresh mango, banana, and berries), for the price of 30 Baht--that is just under one dollar. Yes, I said a total of less than $1 for 12 pineapples (about 8cents each!). Wish there were a way for me to share them with you! Sweet and delicious!
