Sanzhi District Agricultural Association Introduction
In Sanjhih District, yam is in season from September to March each year. The yams produced by local farmers are not only healthy food stars in traditional markets, but they also have multiple preparations: eaten raw with dipping sauces, stir-fried, used as a soup base, or in hot pot ingredients, which are all favored by health-conscious individuals. The yams cultivated in Sanjhih include both the red-skinned white-fleshed variety of the Yangmingshan range and native species. The Sanjhih Farmers' Association processes the yams into powder, mixing it with granulated sugar and brown sugar to create three flavors of yam powder drinks: black sesame, milk, and purple rice. This unique, healthy, and low-calorie yam offers a nice break from rich foods. Especially the finely textured yam powder, when brewed as a tea, emits a delightful aroma and is suitable for all ages, allowing people to enjoy the pleasure of health and wellness anytime, anywhere.
