曾經被西班牙殖民過的哥斯大黎加

因應氣候及地理位置,也跟台灣一樣,以香蕉闖出了一片天

在民國50年代,台灣靠香蕉賺取的外匯就佔了全台外匯收入的三分之一

當年蕉農一年的收入是20萬元,而公務員一個月薪水僅有500元左右…

跟一年收入六千元的公務員相比,可以想見當年蕉農有多風光了

但相比之下,哥斯大黎加的蕉農就沒這麼幸運了

Limon省的蕉農,大多都是來自牙買加的黑奴或是當地印第安原住民

對他們來說,種香蕉不是為了賺錢,而是為了生存…

哥斯大黎加小常識

你知道哥斯大黎加 Costa Rica的西班牙文原意嗎?Costa就是英文的Coast, 而Rica就是英文的Rich,所以哥斯大黎加的國名就是「富庶的海岸」的意思

當哥倫布航行到哥斯大黎加的Limon港時,感受到當地繁忙的船運及原住民的文化後,忍不住的發出了Costa Rica的讚嘆,也就定下了哥斯大黎加的國名囉

Limon省因為靠海,所以全年濕熱,是哥斯大黎加香蕉的大本營

腹地廣大的香蕉園,除了全由人力栽種之外,還產生了一種特殊交通工具

而這種交通工具不是給人坐的,而是給「香蕉」坐的…

 由蕉農充當火車頭,利用軌道以人工接駁的方式

把剛採收下來的香蕉直接送到包裝廠

綿延好幾座山頭的香蕉園,全靠人工分區管理

每位蕉農要跑上二、三公里,才能把香蕉拖到主幹道

集中後再由馬匹沿路進行搬運

看不到盡頭的香蕉園面積實在太過遼闊

有時還得橫跨馬路,才能抵達目的地,所以就形成香蕉火車的人文奇景

除了在蕉園工作賺取生活所需外,香蕉也成了當地的主要食品

尤其對深居山區的印第安原住民—布里布里族更是如此

香蕉小常識

香蕉幾乎含有所有的維生素和礦物質,因此從中可以很容易地攝取各種營養素。香蕉食物纖維含量豐富,而且雖然因甜度甚高而得其名,但是一根淨重約100克左右的香蕉的卡路里僅約87千卡,大約相當是一餐白飯(150克-220千卡)的一半或以下而已。

香蕉含有相當多的鉀(一條中等大小的香蕉含有451mg的鉀)和鎂。鉀能防止血壓上升及肌肉痙攣,而鎂則具有消除疲勞的效果。香蕉也是一種天然的制酸劑。由於香蕉對消化、吸收相當良好,因此從小孩、到老年人,都能安心地食用,並補給均衡的營養。

乾渴的酷熱氣候,印第安人把香蕉煮成飲料

不僅容易下肚,也能補充人體所需熱量

傳統上,布里布里族還是維持自給自足的生活

男人除了務農之外,偶爾到Limon的香蕉園打打零工

女人則在家裡負責大小雜務

整個中美洲,布里布里族僅存不到6000人

為此,哥斯大黎加特地劃出Talamanca(塔拉曼卡)保護區

讓這支美洲原著民得以在雨林裡延續下去

雨林是他們的家,也是他們的生活縮影

五百年前,從哥倫布踏上哥斯大黎加的那一刻開始

印第安人經歷了奴役甚至殺害,卻依然能夠在雨林裡存活下來

對都市人來說,雨林可能是個充滿危險的地方

但對印第安人來說,雨林是他們的天堂,也是他們永遠的家

 一串香蕉,是殖民地的希望

一條魚線,是捕魚人的依靠

一處雨林,是印第安人的未來

簡單的元素,拼湊出哥斯大黎加最原始的樣貌

  19. Thanks for sharing your ideas here. The other point is that every time a problem comes up with a pc motherboard, people today should not take the risk of repairing this themselves because if it is not done properly it can lead to permanent damage to the complete laptop. Most commonly it is safe just to approach any dealer of any laptop with the repair of its motherboard. They have got technicians who have an know-how in dealing with pc motherboard complications and can have the right analysis and undertake repairs.– Magical Realism Screenplays

They could taste excellent, but packaged foods possess very little vitamins and minerals, making you try to eat more just to have enough vitality to get throughout the day. In case you are constantly ingesting these foods, converting to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will help you to have more electricity while having less.
