專訪對話 / Interview
阿平伯 / A Ping：
大家好，歡迎回到水蜜桃里！今天我們請到的是很多人從小吃到大的老朋友——空心菜伯。空心菜伯，你好！
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Peach Neighborhood! Today we’re joined by an old friend many of us grew up eating—Kang Kong Uncle. Hello!
空心菜伯 / Kang Kong Uncle：
阿平伯好，各位朋友大家好！空心菜看起來簡單，其實是很聰明的一種菜。
Hello A Ping and everyone! Water spinach may look simple, but it’s actually a very clever vegetable.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
那我們先從生長期聊起吧。空心菜從種下去到可以吃，大概多久？
Let’s start with the growing period. How long does water spinach take from planting to harvest?
空心菜伯 / Kang Kong Uncle：
空心菜生長很快，大約 25 到 30 天就可以第一次收成，而且還可以連續採收好幾次。
Water spinach grows very fast—about 25 to 30 days for the first harvest—and it can be harvested multiple times afterward.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
難怪這麼常出現在市場！那種植空心菜，有什麼特別要注意的嗎？
No wonder it’s always at the market! Are there any special things to watch out for when growing it?
空心菜伯 / Kang Kong Uncle：
它喜歡水分，但不能悶水，保持濕潤就好。日照充足，葉子會長得又嫩又綠。
It likes moisture but shouldn’t sit in stagnant water. Keep the soil moist, and with enough sunlight, the leaves grow tender and vibrant.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
很多人覺得空心菜就是「家常菜」，但它的營養其實也不簡單吧？
Many people see water spinach as a simple home-style dish, but its nutrition isn’t simple, right?
空心菜伯 / Kang Kong Uncle：
沒錯，空心菜富含維生素 A、C，還有不少鐵質和纖維，對眼睛、腸胃都很好，清炒最能吃出它的甜味。
That’s right. Water spinach is rich in vitamins A and C, plus iron and fiber. It’s great for eye health and digestion, and simple stir-frying brings out its natural sweetness.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
真的是餐桌上的常青樹。今天的農田廣播就到這裡，謝謝空心菜伯，也希望大家下次吃空心菜時，多一分認識、多一分珍惜。
A true evergreen on the dinner table. That’s it for today’s Farmer Podcast. Thanks to Kang Kong Uncle, and we hope everyone enjoys water spinach with a little more appreciation next time.
