The Taste of Spring – Chinese Toona, Would You Dare to Try It? 🌿🍳
Every spring, many Chinese people chase a unique seasonal flavor—Chinese Toona, also known as Chinese Mahogany or Xiang Chun. It’s common for households to plant one or two Toona trees in their yards. In spring, they harvest the tender shoots and turn them into delicious dishes. The most popular recipe is Toona omelet, known for its strong and distinctive aroma that leaves a lasting impression.
To make this delicacy more accessible, Chinese agricultural scientists have developed edible Toona varieties with an even richer fragrance and the ability to produce shoots year-round. Interestingly, the Japanese also enjoy Toona shoots, calling them “たらの芽” (Tara no Me).
