Spring has well and truly arrived in Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province, with the traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival – representing the seasonal turn from winter – falling on Feb 21.
At this time, all things come to life again. The land brings the bounty of nature, namely the tasty and fresh food. Here are six ever-popular vegetables to enjoy in Taizhou during spring:
Toona sinensis
The early sprouts from toona sinensis, also known as the Chinese toon, are considered to be at their most delicious when they are still reddish. They can be cooked with eggs and tofu, which are both beloved by Taizhou locals.
Scrambled eggs with toon is always a hot favorite with the foodies. [Photo/WeChat ID: tztour]
