Today was our first trip down to the Hilo Market.  I have to say, this market blows away anything I’ve seen stateside.  I picked up a huge 4-5 lbs taro root.  I also managed to pick up a bunch of other produce:  1 Taro Root, 1 Breadfruit, 4 Maui Onions,  2 Meyers Limes,  1 Watermelon, 5 Papaya, 8 Japanese Purple Sweet potatoes, 5 Tomatoes, 2 Cucumbers, 2 Avacados, lots of garlic, and a bunch of Longan Fruit.

All of this produce was very inexpensive when compared to getting it back in Austin, TX or even in Seattle, WA.
