Nuts and Raisins at a Uyghur Market

Right now colorful stands have been set up in the local Xinjiang markets selling all different kinds of nuts and raisins.  The numerous varieties create a palette of colors and tastes that will appease any appetite.  Most vendors don’t mind if you sample before you buy – in fact, you’ll probably find them munching on their own goods.

Nuts include cashews, peanuts, pistacios, walnuts, and different seeds.  Unfortunately absent are one of my favorite nuts – the pecan.
