Farmers in Nantou dedicate immense effort to growing them without pesticides. These bananas possess a uniquely rich flavor and a dense, creamy texture. When low-temperature dried, their banana aroma becomes even more captivating. ✦ Seedless Red Plum (Kaohsiung, Miaoli): Sourced from indigenous communities in Kaohsiung and Miaoli, these red plums retain their original flavor, lightly candied, and prepared using a unique preservation technique. They offer a firm texture and the distinctive aroma of plums. Free from chemical additives and preservatives, they are a wholesome choice. ✦ Native Mango (Kaohsiung): Sweet and tangy, evoking the taste of young mango preserves! These native mangoes, grown in near-wild conditions, are transformed into dried fruit. They offer a refreshing tartness and a soft, chewy texture, along with the unique, rich aroma of native mangoes, perfect for those who love a zesty mango flavor. ✦ Red Date (Miaoli): From Miaoli's Gongguan Township, the renowned "Hometown of Red Dates" in Taiwan. These red dates are smaller and fresher than imported varieties. Harvested and dried in season, their skin boasts a vibrant red hue. Red dates can be enjoyed as a snack, steeped into tea with goji berries or chrysanthemums, or added to soups. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2023/04/%E5%8D%81%E4%BA%8C%E5%91%B3%E6%9E%9C%E4%B9%BE%E7%A6%AE%E7%9B%92791.jpg ✦ Diamond Pineapple (Pingtung): Diamond pineapples require 18 months of meticulous care before harvest. After picking, they are hand-peeled, thickly sliced, and then low-temperature baked. With no added sugar, they offer a natural sweetness with a hint of refreshing tartness, exuding a rich tropical fragrance. ✦ Fragrant Lemon (Pingtung): The unique aroma of fragrant lemons comes from their thick peel. Grown without pesticides, they have a low acidity, making them ideal for drying and brewing tea. They are not bitter or astringent. Sliced with the peel and low-temperature dried, they create a fragrant lemon water when steeped in hot water. ✦ Watermelon Guava (Hualien): Unlike regular guavas, watermelon guavas have red flesh, resembling a watermelon, hence their name. ✦ Seedless Olive (Nantou): These olives, made from wild-cultivated Taiwanese Jianren olives, are a savory and sweet appetizer. Simply preserved with sugar and salt to remove astringency, then enhanced with licorice for flavor. They have a thick, chewy texture with a sweet aftertaste, pairing wonderfully with tea. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2023/04/%E5%8D%81%E4%BA%8C%E5%91%B3%E6%9E%9C%E4%B9%BE%E7%A6%AE%E7%9B%92806.jpg ✦ Dragon Fruit (Pingtung): This variety, named "Da Hong" (Big Red), is exceptional in its fragrance and sweetness. Grown without pesticides and low-temperature baked, the dried seeds offer a unique, crunchy texture reminiscent of sesame seeds. It's a refreshingly light dried fruit. ✦ Crystal Guava (Taichung): Naturally cultivated to produce the finest crystal guavas. Sliced and low-temperature dried, they are baked to a drier consistency for better preservation. It is recommended to let them soften in your mouth before chewing to enjoy their delicate sweetness. ✦ Irwin Mango (Pingtung): These Irwin mangoes are tree-ripened, naturally maturing to achieve full sweetness and flavor. Only two slices are taken from each mango to create the dried fruit. Their high natural sweetness means no added sugar is needed. A slight tartness lingers, allowing you to fully savor the rich, distinctive aroma of Irwin mangoes. ✦ Orange (Nantou): These oranges are cultivated without any pesticides, making the peel safe for consumption. The dried orange slices are baked with the peel, fully retaining the nutrients of the peel and flesh. Their golden hue is fragrant and delicious, offering a satisfying crispness. Enjoy them as a snack, steep them in hot or cold water for a refreshing drink, or pair them with herbal teas or chocolate for a delightful dessert. They are a naturally delicious treat!
