專訪對話 / Interview
阿平伯 / A Ping：
大家好，歡迎回到水蜜桃里！今天要介紹的這位，是很多人從小吃到大的紅綠色回憶——莧菜伯。莧菜伯你好！
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Peach Neighborhood! Today we’re visiting a colorful childhood favorite—Amaranth Uncle. Hello!
莧菜伯 / Amaranth Uncle：
阿平伯好，大家好！莧菜看起來不起眼，其實是很耐操、也很有營養的一種菜。
Hello A Ping and everyone! Amaranth may look humble, but it’s a hardy and highly nutritious vegetable.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
那我們先聊生長期吧，莧菜從播種到可以採收，大概要多久？
Let’s start with the growing period. How long does amaranth take from planting to harvest?
莧菜伯 / Amaranth Uncle：
很快，大概 20 到 30 天就能收第一批，而且只要天氣熱、日照夠，它就會一直長。
Pretty fast—about 20 to 30 days for the first harvest. With warm weather and enough sunlight, it keeps growing.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
原來是夏天的好朋友！那種植莧菜，有什麼關鍵嗎？
No wonder it’s a summer favorite! Any key tips for growing it?
莧菜伯 / Amaranth Uncle：
它不挑土，但怕積水。保持排水好、澆水勤一點，葉子就會又嫩又漂亮。
It’s not picky about soil, but it doesn’t like waterlogging. Good drainage and regular watering keep the leaves tender and vibrant.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
很多人小時候都有吃莧菜補血的印象，這是真的嗎？
Many people remember eating amaranth as a “blood-boosting” veggie when they were kids. Is that true?
莧菜伯 / Amaranth Uncle：
是真的。莧菜含鐵量高，還有葉酸和纖維，對氣色和腸胃都不錯，汆燙後拌蒜最清甜。
Yes. Amaranth is rich in iron, folate, and fiber—great for circulation and digestion. Blanching and tossing with garlic brings out its natural sweetness.
阿平伯 / A Ping：
聽起來又健康又家常。今天的農田廣播就到這裡，謝謝莧菜伯，也希望大家下次看到莧菜，多給它一點掌聲。
Healthy and homey indeed. That’s it for today’s Farmer Podcast. Thanks to Amaranth Uncle, and we hope everyone gives amaranth a little extra appreciation next time.
