It is no secret that the celebration of Christmas and New Year holidays is associated with setting rich meals. During the winter feasts, beans, cabbage, turnips, carrots, pumpkins and potatoes are an integral part of the menu of our people. But when we do not have the opportunity to produce these products ourselves, we have to buy them from the market.
However, the fruits and vegetables offered there are not only not grown by us, but also suspiciously reminiscent of GMO production.
It turns out that we celebrate the holidays with bare garlic, giant Greek oranges and Turkish carrots, which are also remarkable in size. For their part, the sellers explain that they bought the products from the stock exchange, where they were told that the fruits and vegetables were imported from our southern neighbors Turkey and Greece, writes Flagman.
It seems that the crisis has not particularly affected farmers there, who have managed to grow produce that could be among the Guinness World Records. For the Bulgarian hosts it remains a mystery how the giant garlic and the oranges, reaching the size of coconuts, were produced.
For them, however, no other facts remain unnoticed - namely, that the fruits are dry, quite sour, with little juice. But from the outside they look just great. Against their background, Bulgarian potatoes can be lost.
The same characteristics can easily be attributed to other imported fruits and vegetables that we put on the holiday table. Carrots look huge, but are firm, tasteless and dry. They are said to have been treated with a special detergent so that they can stay fresh longer.
Tomatoes on the market are also not Bulgarian. They are made in Macedonia. The peppers came all the way from Latin America. The fruits that are offered to us are grown in a number of countries, but not in our country. In fact, only some apples and pumpkins turn out to be Bulgarian. Leek and even walnuts remain foreign.
The question remains, what exactly do all these remarkable carrots, peppers, garlic and tomatoes contain. However, despite the danger that they are full of nitrates or simply GMO production, people continue to buy them because they do not have much choice.
