This traditional market serves as a primary distribution point for fresh fruit in Granada, where vendors arrange their merchandise to showcase ripeness and quality. The market follows long-established practices of fruit selling, with vendors selecting and displaying produce based on ripeness and seasonal availability. These fruits, essential items in the Nicaraguan diet, arrive fresh from regional agricultural areas, maintaining short supply chains between farmers and urban consumers. Vendors typically arrange their displays each morning, carefully positioning fruits to prevent damage while making them accessible for customer selection. The market's fruit section operates daily, with vendors adjusting their inventory based on seasonal availability and local demand. This traditional market setup maintains practices that predate modern supermarket systems, allowing customers to select individual pieces of fruit while supporting local agricultural networks.
