yam
Yam has been a special food in Taiwanese history, not only does the shape of a yam resemble Taiwan, but historically, yam was one of the main food sources of early Taiwan. There are various places in different areas of Taiwan that grow organic yam. I specifically chose this one because of its location: Taipei, an organic farm in the outskirts of the busy city and because of the farmer, who is an artist who advocates for protection of the earth and who insists on using the most natural resources (no pesticides or chemicals) to grow his yam.
