Today we had the opportunity to explore the Glass Market in Copenhagen! The Glass Market had two glass buildings with food and drink vendors inside, and a fresh produce market between the buildings. There was a broad range of produce available, including specialty mushrooms, mini-potatoes, and passionfruit. We got the fresh strawberries from one of the vendors to go along with our lunch. There were a lot of people at the market looking at the fresh berries that they had. All of the produce that they sell at the market is in-season and grown locally! A lot of products were labeled as organic, or as being 60-90% organic (something I hadn't seen a product being labeled as, but it's possible that local regulations require that products that may not be fully organic be labeled as such). There were also many vegetables that I hadn't ever seen in American markets. Vendors in the buildings also supplied fresh and cured meat and fish products, and different cheeses. The highlight for me was seeing everything that was available outside because it was a peek into the local agriculture in Denmark! If we had a kitchen I'd love to go back and make a meal with the local produce.
