Finnish Markets

Market Shopping in Finland

Of course, one of the first places we researched to meet our basic needs in Finland was markets. And we were very lucky about this. There were 4 or 5 Finnish markets just five minutes from our house.
Also, Turkish products were sold in these markets. We were very happy when we saw this. And, of course, I took a picture right away. For example, the photo below is Ankara Pasta.

One of the things that surprised me most in the Finnish markets was the presence of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. In a country where agriculture is very limited: it was very interesting that all kinds of food were brought. Sometimes we encounter was seeing the fruits and vegetables even in Turkey!

 When we saw peppers from Antalya Hall, we were very surprised with Sıla. Sıla reminded her hometown.

 In addition, every product was available almost every season. For example, while eating Italian watermelon in summer, you eat Brazilian watermelon in winter. The Brazilian watermelon, of course, is more expensive because it comes from a distance, but it comes after all.

Finns themselves also cultivate in greenhouses. A limited number of crops can be farmed, but these products are both organic and very delicious. For example, giant Finnish-produced cucumbers were delicious and juicy. Although cucumbers from the Mediterranean are cheaper, Finnish cucumbers were bought more due to both their quality and taste. Potatoes, carrots were cheaper than other vegetables.

Write in Finland, you will encounter many blackberry varieties that you may not have heard of. Most of them are tasteless and sour, but I still recommend you try. If you come across a Turkish marketer in the Finnish market like us, it can be mixed up and offered to you, little by little.

Another thing that surprised me was that greens such as lettuce, parsley and dill were sold in small pots in the markets. Such an intelligent method was used to keep these imported products on the road. So you can take the greens off the branch and eat them fresh. 😊

The greens are sold in small pots so that they keep their freshness.

Along with the increasing foreign population in Finland, you will find many markets and restaurants belonging to them. For this reason, you can find products from markets such as Asian cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine, where food from many parts of the world is sold. There are also many Indian, Chinese, Italian, Turkish restaurants in the country, and most of them are of good quality.
