Till about a few years ago, all vegetable markets in India were open air markets. There were no air conditioned supermarkets like Publix or Albertsons. The last few years have seen a proliferation of large supermarkets. However, there are still a lot of open air markets and a substantial population buys from the vendors that sell on the streets. The produce is usually fresh because the sellers lack the means to refrigerate their produce. There is always an element of bargaining involved.
Check out the picture at the egg and chicken shop. My mother is buying some eggs. You have to have nerves of steel to buy chicken from here. You pick out the live chicken which then gets skinned for you. It’s not a sight for the faint heated.
