Fruits of Eden


My new favourite fruit and vegetable shop in Trinidad-Eden's in Cascade. Filled with backyard and small farm produce, including now hard to find varieties like sucruire, Gros Michel, silk and lacatan bananas, Indian radish, calabash mangoes. I have no idea why people buy substandard apples with all that fresh tropical fruit available.
