愛玉愛玉，冰冰涼涼，晶瑩剔透，黃橙如寶石的愛玉…… 一說到愛玉，大家就想到山上的鄒族朋友，因為阿里山的愛玉太有名了，都靠鄒族朋友爬上樹採，不然我們就沒有愛玉可以吃 Or2 但你知道嗎，早在 19 世紀的南台灣，愛玉就已經是平埔原住民朋友的美食，連來台灣玩的老外都愛呢！ Aiyu aiyu, lovely aiyu, icy and sweet, shining like a jewel…… When it comes to aiyu (Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang), a kind of plant only native to Taiwan and famous of its fruits of which the popular aiyu jelly is made, most people would immediately think of Cou people in Ali Mt., where an abundance of aiyu trees are cultivated and harvested.
