Pineapple cake
Pineapple cake is culturally important to Taiwan, so much so that the country even organized a pineapple cake festival in Taipei back in 2005.
This delicacy is available with a variety of fillings, including strawberry, cranberry, and melon. Taking them home is easy because they have a fairly long shelf life.
Jade products
You simply cannot return from Taiwan without buying some jade products.
The country is known for producing the highest quality jade and produces approximately 1000 metric tons of jade products every year. You can buy exquisite earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings that are available in various shapes, sizes, and designs.
Mini sky lanterns
The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival is one of the most amazing events that can only be seen in Taiwan. Although it usually takes place in September, the stunning sky lanterns can be seen all year round.
Interestingly, depending on the color, they have messages. For example, locals believe that yellow means success and blue means hope. They can be the perfect addition to your decor.
Peanut nougat
Taiwanese nougat filled with peanuts is extremely tasty. These delicacies are so popular that boxes of them can be found at every corner in supermarkets.
Not too sweet but with just the right flavor, some nougat bars contain sesame seeds while others may contain brown sugar. They are sticky and dense.
Taiwanese tea
For tea lovers, the letter "T" in Taiwan stands for tea, and this fact is undeniable. The country offers a large number of flavorful varieties of tea: floral, smoky, sweet, fresh, and nutty.
Despite the fact that there are many flavors, oolong tea tops the list. Be sure to buy it!
