There’s no doubt that the most popular fruit come summer is the beloved watermelon, which is consumed by Turks first thing in the morning and last thing at night, as well as almost any time in between. Figs, both purple and white, will be the biggest feature to pop up in the markets in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, a new introduction to the mix is dragon fruit, which has only recently become available and has an admittedly costly price. ![]() Anamur is the type of banana, named after its source location that is always a top choice, despite being smaller and occasionally wider in size than imported variations. The nectarines here are huge and juicy and divine, while the white nectarines are smaller and harder yet also worth trying for their own sweet flavor derived from being a hybrid of nectarine and plum. They tend to be larger and lighter in color, which may seem less appealing, but trust me once they soften and are ripe and in their prime, tasting one of these is a whole other experience.Īs for other summer fruity delights, the peaches of Bursa are famous for their flavor, while “deve bastı,” which translates into English as having been “stepped on by a camel,” are an oddly flatter shaped peach that also has a unique and definitely worth-trying flavor.

Yet most vendors tend to have two kinds, one of which is referred to as “tarla,” which means they came from a local field.

For Turks, there are some steadfast favorites, which I will happily share with you here.

So let this be your guide to how to navigate and what to buy from the summer farmers market. ![]() While getting to one should be quite easy as most regions have minibus services on market days if they aren’t close by, navigating what to buy may be more challenging simply because they are overflowing with options and overwhelming with locals and visitors alike, coupled with the vendors and their characteristic calls to their tables – all of which can admittedly be an overload to the senses. ![]()
