Sewaro and Namaste 🙏 Also like, comment, share and the most importantly 👉Subscribe👈 STAY SAFE , STAY HEALTHY AND EAT HEALTHY The Limbus, an indigenous people from Nepal’s eastern hills, have interesting and unique food traditions. Wild edible lichen, known as yangben, is the community’s signature speciality. Limbus cook yangben with meat, especially pork, to make a variety of dishes. And one of the most loved delicacies is yangben-faksa, pork with lichen. Another popular dish is blood sausage, known as sargemba or sargyangma, which is made by adding lichen to minced meat or innards. Yangben doesn't have any flavour or aroma on its own but when cooked with fatty pork, it absorbs the fat and lends a delicious earthy flavour to the dish. Pork and yangben marry well together. Lichen is considered ancient food in Yunnan, and in Nepal only the Limbus have traditionally consumed lichen even though it’s widely available across the country’s hills and mountains. Based on this observation, it is only plausible that Limbus might have brought the practice of eating lichen from the Yunnan region. Because of the yangben's popularity, neighbouring Rai and other communities have also adopted yangben in their food culture. In Nepal, people also use lichens to make dyes and for ritual and medicinal purposes.
