Fresh fruits in Tunisia

10.12.2021 • To eat

In Tunisia fresh fruits can be easily bought at markets, in small shops, and directly from farmers selling their harvest off trucks. All year round, you can enjoy fresh dates – an incredibly healthy and nutritious fruit. Cactus fruits are also very popular here, they are often sold in stores pre-peeled.

Tunisia is also a paradise for melon lovers: in May you can find an orange melon, in June and July – a “kolkhoznitsa” or the collective farm woman melon, and in autumn – a large green melon.
