The Lost Paradise of Panamá

I took the below video at a cousin’s house. There’s a coconut tree, as well as a plantain tree. Both provide ingredients that are used daily in a wide variety of Panamanian dishes. Although the sight of palm trees swaying in a tropical breeze is common throughout Central America and most people don’t think twice about it, it’s not so common in the Far North. During the winter it will serve as a reminder that it’s warm and sunny in some parts of the world.
