Xiangsha taro is a unique taro variety in Qidong. Qidong is an alluvial plain, which is very suitable for the growth of taro. The taro cultivated in this kind of soil has a very fragrant taste, sticky but not greasy, and an excellent taste. The appearance of Qidong's scented yam is not much different from other places, but the varieties are different. This kind of taro is both "fragrant" and "sandy", with a pure taste and moderate hardness in the mouth. Unlike other varieties of taro, it is either too soft or sticky, or it is chewed loudly, giving people a feeling of burning.

There are many ways to eat fragrant yam. One is dry roasting, that is, boiled with the skin, peeled after being cooked, and eaten as a condiment. One is braised taro. The taro is cooked, peeled and cooled, and then braised with oil. To make the taro more delicious, salt, MSG and finely chopped garlic leaves are added during braising. Another type is braised with chicken, pork, eel, etc., and made into dishes. When such dishes are on the table, people's attention is often all on the taro. Because taro has a strong absorption capacity, it can capture the deliciousness of chicken, meat, and fish. It has a unique natural flavor and is very popular. Therefore, all meat dishes made with taro, although taro is a foil, the first to be "eliminated" is taro, which is really "anti-customer". In addition, the fragrant sand yam can also be cooked with pumpkin or sweet potato to complement each other.

Fragrant sand yam is also a great gift for relatives and friends. Before the eight-and-a-half month of the lunar calendar, it was the season when a large number of fragrant yam were harvested. At this time, villagers go to the city or visit relatives and friends in other places, often giving a bag of taro as a gift. Although it is not a valuable food, it can express the kindness of the giver and is very popular with the owner. "
