__**Specifications**__ A5 Size / Full Color / 156 Pages Includes 22 Wild Vegetable Cards __**Content Overview**__ The Taipalong (Afalong, Tafalong) community is located in Guangfu Township, Hualien County, nestled between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range, and is home to the Amis people. After getting to know the 'ina (mothers/women), I gained some insights... **Stop Assuming All Indigenous Cultures Are the Same** The 'ina I know love chili peppers. Whether embarking on a long journey or a short trip, chili peppers are a must-have. The 'ina wash the small red chilies (bird's eye chilies) they harvest and directly preserve them in empty rice wine bottles with salt, or simply dip raw chilies in salt for an excellent seasoning. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48628590541_c3199fc982_m.jpg **We Eat All the "Hearts"** The 'ina say they eat "five-heart" cuisine every day, consuming almost every kind of "heart" imaginable. There are pumpkin hearts, betel nut hearts, rattan hearts, palm hearts, reed hearts, pasture hearts, sugarcane hearts, and more. They truly enjoy this "five-heart" dining experience daily. Mama is preparing palm hearts, aiming to extract the sweet palm heart, which is a rare sweet ingredient among wild vegetables. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48628590501_b75c340f48_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48628590426_be04c6f8ef_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48628238883_f3e820bf1a_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48628590361_a489306f58_m.jpg
