Taza Bazaar is one of Baku's established food-market names. Fruit, vegetables, herbs, nuts and dried fruit connect it with the ingredients of Azerbaijani cooking. The most interesting discoveries may be things you do not immediately recognise.

Ask about a seasonal ingredient, how it is used, or which varieties are available. That makes a market visit more rewarding than treating every stall as a souvenir display. Trading arrangements and market layouts can change, so confirm the current location and visiting arrangements before making a special trip. And before photographing a stall or its trader, ask permission. This is someone's working day as well as your visit.
