Signification
Fruits that are recently harvested.
Contexte culturel
In Kolkata, the 'morning bazaar' is a ritual. People pride themselves on buying 'taja' produce every single day rather than using a refrigerator. Bangladesh is the land of fruits. The 'taja' jackfruit (national fruit) is a symbol of summer and is often shared among neighbors. For 'Puja' (worship), only 'taja phol' is acceptable. Using 'bashi' (stale) fruit is considered a sin. Offering 'taja phol' to a guest is considered more sophisticated and health-conscious than offering store-bought sweets.
Market Mastery
When at a Bengali bazaar, always touch the fruit and ask 'Taja to?' (It's fresh, right?) to show you are a savvy buyer.
Chemical Concerns
Be aware that some vendors use chemicals to make fruit look 'taja'. Look for natural imperfections.
