With the arrival of Ramadan, the demand for fresh vegetables surges in the markets of Cox’s Bazar. Carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, green chilies, cilantro, and mint leaves are essential ingredients for iftar salads. 

These vegetables enhance the taste and nutrition of iftar, help with digestion, and keep the body cool.

Local vendors report that residents and tourists purchase vegetables in large quantities during Ramadan. 

To meet this growing demand, they take extra care in supplying high-quality, fresh produce. The easy availability of these vegetables makes iftar preparation more convenient for fasting individuals.

As a result, the vibrant vegetable markets of Cox’s Bazar have become a go-to destination for ensuring fresh and nutritious meals during Ramadan.
