What are chopped vegetables?

Chopped vegetables are those types of vegetables which have been cut into small pieces that can fit in a pot, in a can fruit container or bottle. Most chopped vegetables are reserved in bottles for future use. I have seen this in many stores in Lesotho and on television. 

If you have a lot of vegetables in your garden, and you don’t know what to do with them, my friend, cut them and reserve them for future use to prevent waste. You would be surprised how people get lazy nowadays. Did you know that people even hire other people to do closet folding for them? 

Imagine how much ready chopped vegetables can help these lazy people. If you are unemployed and you want to start something too, this is the business idea you need to start.

How do you make chopped vegetables?

When it comes to chopping vegetables, my friend, you will need to use your creativity to come up with the perfect chopping style. Your chopping style might actually attract customers. If you don’t have any chopping skills, don’t worry, with the presence of the internet, anything is possible. 

If you want to come up with the best chopped dice of carrots, or tomatoes, fire up your favorite browser and start doing your research. If you like, you can even visit grocery stores near you which sell chopped vegetables. When you get there, take a look at the canned vegetables. Maybe you can imitate how they have been chopped. 

There is no original idea nowadays, even if in your area it is considered original, just know that there is someone out there who is doing exactly what you are doing. So don’t be afraid to do anything in life, you never know what will be your breakthrough.

What are the basic cuts of vegetables?

When starting a business which is already existing, it is wise to conduct a research on your own as to what policies are being followed. This will help your business to follow the same rules as the ones that are already operating.

If you are going to start this type of business, you need to know  how many chopped carrots in a cup and how long are chopped veggies good for. This way, you will be a perfect entrepreneur who knows how much time his or her products will last. 

Not only do you need to know the already stated things. But you will also need to know the perfect measurements for chopping these vegetables. What I mean is this, imagine going to a grocery store and finding nicely cut vegetables with perfect design. After that, you meet someone selling the same merchandise but it is not nicely done like the ones you saw in a grocery store. 

Wouldn’t you think that person is crazy? Consistency is the main key factor to success. The physical appearance of your product is the one that attracts people. I have seen this on youtube, both the title and the thumbnail are the major reason why people click through to watch a Youtube video. The same concept also applies even here.

Where to buy chopped vegetables in Lesotho?

This is the part you have been waiting for, you want to know where you can buy chopped vegetables in Lesotho. Well, don’t look any further. In Maseru, you can find chopped vegetables downtown near Mokorotlong. This is where Lerato Mohasi is operating from. 

I once bought her canned chili vegetables from her, oh man, this winter I am adding it to my food. When it is cold, you need hot foods to keep yourself warm. 

The good thing about Lerato Mohasi is that she is a graduate. When realizing that her qualifications were not helping her to make some money, she used her thinking abilities and her passion and turned them into a business. 

She is selling canned chili pepper, canned tomatoes, mixed green peas and many other canned foods. Ensure that you go there to buy what she sells. Help her to grow her business, who knows, maybe one day she will be owning a big company of chopped vegetables. 

Now let’s take a look at some of the advantages of eating chili in everyday life.
