Bedeutung
Low-cost produce.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Georgia, the 'Bazari' is a place of social interaction. Finding 'iafi khili' is often a point of pride and a topic of conversation with neighbors. Georgians eat seasonally. Fruit is only 'iafi' when it is in season. Buying strawberries in January is 'dzviri' (expensive) and culturally unusual. While you look for 'iafi khili' for yourself, when hosting a 'Supra', you always buy the best quality, regardless of price. This famous Tbilisi market is the ultimate destination for 'iafi khili'. Its name comes from soldiers who deserted and sold their gear there in the 1920s.
Haggle for it!
If you are at a bazari, don't accept the first price. Asking 'ufro iafi khili ar gaqvt?' (don't you have cheaper fruit?) can sometimes get you a better deal.
Check the quality
Sometimes 'iafi khili' is cheap because it's overripe. Always touch and smell the fruit before buying.

The 'Kilo' rule
Prices are almost always per kilogram. If you see a number like '2.50', it's for 1kg.
