Sanzhi District Farmers' Association Introduction
In Sanjhih District, yams are in season from September to March each year. The yams produced by local farmers not only shine as healthy food stars in traditional markets but also come in various cooking methods: eaten raw with dipping sauce, stir-fried, used as soup base, or in hot pot ingredients, all of which are favored by health-conscious consumers. The yams cultivated in Sanjhih include the red-skinned, white-fleshed variety from the Yangmingshan range and indigenous types. The Sanjhih Farmers' Association processes these yams into powdered form, mixing them with white sugar and brown sugar to create three flavors of yam powder tea drinks: black sesame, milk, and purple rice. This unique, healthy, and low-calorie yam offers a proper brake on the indulgence of rich foods. Especially the finely textured yam powder, when brewed into a tea drink, emits a delightful aroma that appeals to people of all ages, allowing for a convenient and enjoyable way to embrace health and wellness anywhere, anytime.
