So i’ve lived in this little town all my life. I call the town little because practically everybody knows everybody.
When i do shop for fresh cooking items i.e fruits & vegetables, i do it at the local market known as “Agboju market” located within Amuwo Odofin LGA especially since most of the things i need often could be found there. To me, its like a large outdoor mall where you could get every service you need in one space. Overtime, i’ve been getting lots of mails asking where to get certain fruits and vegetables which are scarce to find here in Nigeria Such as Mint leaves(peppermint leaves), Strawberries, Leek, Cinnamon, Blackberries e.t.c. Due to the amount of requests, i decided to do a little street foodie waka to show you some of the foreign vegetables mentioned and where i get mine.
The first stop i made was to Alhaji Sanni & Alhaji ibrahim’s vegetable Kiosk. They both sell Vegetables (Indigenous and foreign) and they’ve been doing it for over 15 years. So, if you need Vegetables, Herbs (mint leaves a.k.a Naa Na(arabic) included ) e.t.c, You can call to know what’s available or to Order.

D fruit lady' s prices r so high. A pack of strawberries retail for 1k whereas u gt bigger sized ones in shoprite for 600 naira. Bt to b honest wen I saw her stock I was impressed
i guess this is a case of "In the land of the blind,the one eyed man is king".
Good job girl!
Thanks Anon!
Thank you for sharing this..
I think the title is misleading, it's says where to buy fruits in Nigeria, but u only discussed one state,which I think is Lagos, but I don't know the place cos I don't stay in Lagos. Maybe the title should be where to buy fruits in Lagos. I stay in Abuja
Thanks for pointing that out. would make the necessary corrections soon.
