Today we’re joined by Brother Thai Basil—fragrant and essential in many stir-fries! 九層塔阿塔哥 / Brother Thai Basil： 阿愛姨好！大家好！只要我一出場，整道菜立刻香氣四溢。 Hello A-Ai and everyone! The moment I’m added, the whole dish becomes aromatic. 阿愛姨 / A-Ai： 那從播種到可以採收，大概要多久呢？ How long does it take from sowing to harvest? 九層塔阿塔哥 / Brother Thai Basil： 大約 30 到 40 天就能開始摘葉，而且越摘我越旺盛。記得常常修剪，我會長得更茂密。 About 30 to 40 days after sowing, my leaves are ready. The more you harvest, the bushier I grow—regular pruning keeps me thriving. 阿愛姨 / A-Ai： 種植上有什麼要注意的嗎？ Any cultivation tips? 九層塔阿塔哥 / Brother Thai Basil： 我喜歡溫暖氣候與充足陽光，土壤要排水良好。怕冷又怕積水，氣溫低於 15°C 生長會變慢。 I love warm weather and full sunlight with well-drained soil. I dislike cold and waterlogged conditions—growth slows below 15°C. 阿愛姨 / A-Ai： 三杯料理、鹽酥雞都少不了你，營養方面呢？ You’re essential in three-cup dishes and fried snacks. What about nutrition? 九層塔阿塔哥 / Brother Thai Basil： 我含有維生素 A、K、抗氧化成分與植物精油，香氣來自天然精油成分，讓人食慾大開。 I contain vitamins A and K, antioxidants, and natural essential oils that stimulate appetite and add depth of flavor. 阿愛姨 / A-Ai： 真是香氣擔當！今天草莓里的農田廣播就到這裡，謝謝九層塔阿塔哥，也祝大家餐桌香氣滿滿。 A true aroma star! That’s it for today’s Farmer Podcast in Strawberry Neighborhood.
