Monsoon Vegetables: What to Buy and How to Store Them

Best buys in the rains

• Bottle gourd (lauki) and ridge gourd (turai).
• Drumsticks and snake gourd.
• Colocasia leaves and fresh corn.

Wash and store

Wash leafy greens in salt water, dry them fully and wrap in a cloth before refrigerating. Buy smaller quantities more often — your local greens cart comes every day.
