The dried vegetables that are currently painting the
historical Bedesten area of Konya and its surroundings with vibrant colors are
receiving significant attention.
In Konya, products such as eggplant, pepper, okra, and
squash are cleaned, strung onto strings, and dried during the summer months.
These products, which are consumed during the winter months, have now taken
their place on the stalls.
Peppers, eggplants, squash, okra, and tomatoes, which have
been carefully cleaned at home, are then threaded onto strings and dried.
Afterward, they are preserved and then offered for sale in
shops.
Dried vegetables, considered essential dishes during the
winter months, are attracting the attention of both local and foreign tourists
with their vibrant appearance.
Traders emphasize that dried vegetables are winter products
that rival the appeal of summer, highlighting that these products are organic
and offer various health benefits to individuals.
