(Redirected from Asian Supermarket)

Asian Supermarket is a type of grocery store that primarily caters to a specific Asian demographic group. These supermarkets are prevalent in many countries across the world, including those in North America, Europe, and Asia. They carry items and ingredients generally well-suited for Asian cuisines and not found in most mainstream supermarkets.

Etymology[edit]

The term "Asian Supermarket" is a direct translation of the term used in various Asian languages. The term is used to describe a supermarket that caters specifically to Asian consumers and carries a wide range of Asian food products.

History[edit]

Asian supermarkets started with the wave of Asian immigrants who came to the western countries in the late 20th century. They began as small mom-and-pop grocery stores serving the new immigrant populations. Over time, these stores expanded to become full-fledged supermarkets catering to the Asian diaspora and anyone interested in Asian cuisines.

Products[edit]

Asian supermarkets carry items from various Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and others. They offer a wide range of products including fresh produce, meat, seafood, packaged foods, bakery items, beverages, household items, and more. Many Asian supermarkets also have a deli section where ready-to-eat Asian meals are sold.
