Do You Cut Your Vegetables In The Market? by pocohantas(f): 4:24pm On Mar 20, 2021
The question is straightforward.


I wanted to buy a little ugu today and the seller asked if she should cut it, the way I screamed NO startled/embarrassed the other buyer, who was cutting hers. I apologized for startling them though. cheesy

One of the hardest parts of cooking certain meals has to be picking, washing and cutting the vegetables. Something like edikan ikong and afang soup, I have to be mentally prepared before I cook them, so I understand people who decide to cut off that stress.

Is there any risk to cutting in the market or cutting before washing?

Some of these market vegetable sellers/cutters will have cuts on their hands during the process and the blood will start dripping on the vegetable.

Cut ur vegetables at home, wash before cutting and wash after cutting to get ur vegetables clean and devoid of dirts.

Nothing really wrong in allowing them to cut it but to be on the safer side(i.e thorough washing to completely remove dirt's) its advisable to cut it yourself when you get home,you will also notice that washing before cutting gives maximum cleanliness devoid of some small particles (sand or others ) than washing after cutting.You loose some nutrients too when you cut before washing

Cutting before washing opens up pores in the vegetable through which all the goodness will get washed away. You'd notice the water is greener when you wash cut vegetables than uncut vegetables. I like my goodness to remain in my food and my belle loves the labour of my hands.

You see vegetables, meat and fish, I prefer to cut them myself.

The reason is that I prefer to wash the vegetables thoroughly first before cutting them, and I also pluck the leaves one by one to make sure I remove the infested ones if there's any.

I wash the meat before and after cutting it, as for fish, I like them big so the market women may not cut it the size I want.

Truth be told I was trained by my mother to wash vegetables before cutting .It is actually the best and safest way of preparing vegetables.

However I have grown very old and I hate cooking with a passion ,i really do not have anything against cutting vegetables in the market .Just wash with salt when you get home. lipsrsealed

That is what makes it startling. I am getting lazier, OCD won’t let me cut in the market, but I need divine intervention. Sometimes I am tempted to...

I must confess that I have it cut in the market because I dislike cutting it myself with all the leaves sticking to my fingers. So, I prefer it done in the market then when I get home, I soak with plenty of water in a large bowl to enable the sand( if any) settle below while the leaves stay afloat. So it's easier to get out the dirts.

Lazyness is my major problem here because after doing the market runs, I don't like to come and start prepping those stuff myself as I would be so tired and fagged out to do anything.

I think cutting at home is best. especially if the market environment is not to your liking (like if you feel they are kinda dirty ish or whatever). You know wink

But if you’ve been cutting in the market and you’re still alive, carry on. Something must kill a man. cool

Please stop flattering yourselves. I am so domesticated that I would waste my advertisement on Nairaland guys? As in, guys like you? What happened to all the ones I meet in reality?

The girls that are putting you guys on a long thing can’t boil water to save their lives. So I wonder why anyone would bother to do otherwise.

Focus on celebrating yourself o. My matter is beyond your understanding.

I used to cut in the market while single but now, I can't remember the last time I went to the market. Wifey does the cutting at home. She said she CAN NEVER cut vegetables in the market.
