How does the price of actual produce compare? Raspberries are a luxury crop, and hummus is processed. How about lettuce, tomatoes, bok choi, herbs, fruit, etc? At my farmers' market, the produce is significantly less expensive than at the grocery store, and far tastier.
- ghaff 11y agoI think it depends. In the summer, I shop at local farmstands and farmers' markets. They often have wonderful stuff but they're typically more expensive than the grocery store.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoWhat makes raspberries more of a luxury than "fruit"?
- caf 11y agoCompared to something like apples or oranges, raspberries are land-intensive to grow; very expensive to pick and pack; fragile; and have a short shelf life. Fresh raspberries have always in my experience been expensive items. (Frozen, less so, because it mitigates some of those issues).
