Mountain balsam pear and local soybean brewing soy sauce, not only no bitter taste, sweet and sweet people amazing! Hualien is the largest producer of organic soybeans in China, with a total area of 200 hectares. Hualien Agricultural Improvement Farm (abbreviated as Huagai Farm) cooperates with local soy sauce shops to produce three kinds of soy sauce from Hualien's unique soybeans, mountain bitter gourd and horse gao. The unique taste makes brewers and chefs surprised.

"Mountain balsam pear soy sauce is surprisingly delicious! the flavor of makao soy sauce has the richest layers. the first flavor is soy sauce, and the last flavor is lemon. the aroma of local soy sauce is longer than that of imported soy sauce,"says hsu huan hsun, a third-generation successor to hsinwei soy sauce. Chuang Yu-hsien, chef of Taiwanese cuisine restaurant Ming Shifu, says that pure brewed soy sauce is suitable as soup base, dipping sauce or marinade; mountain bitter gourd soy sauce is used to freshen up and can be matched with vegetables or aquatic products; horse gao soy sauce is suitable for red meat. All three have their own characteristics.

"Hualien is not the largest producer of domestic soybeans, but it grows the most organic soybeans." Du Lihua, director of the flower reform farm, said that the annual soybean output in China has reached 4403.5 tons, and Hualien's annual soybean output is as high as 335 tons. The organic soybean cultivation area alone has 200 hectares, mainly produced in Fenglin Town, Guangfu Township and Yuli Town.

Huagai Farm will use its own breeding Hualien No.1 and No.2 soybeans, Hualien No.2 mountain bitter gourd, Hongye Village Ma Gao as raw materials, and cooperate with Xinwei soy sauce, which has 95 years of brewing experience, to develop three special soy sauces."The technical threshold for brewing is relatively high, and the relative added value is also relatively high." Cai Bingyun, assistant researcher of the flower reform field, stressed that all three soy sauce ingredients are organic and friendly crops.

Tsai Ping-yun explains that Hualien No. 1 has larger seeds, Hualien No. 2 has higher yields, and both varieties have high pulp yield, while Hualien No. 2 is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and folic acid. Ma Gao is a traditional new spice of aborigines. This time, Ma Gao in Hongye Village of Wanrong Township was specially selected because the average altitude of the village is about 300-700 meters. The temperature and humidity are very suitable for Ma Gao to grow. In the past, the aroma evaluation was far better than that of Ma Gao grown in the west.
