6 Native American Ingredients Nov 26th 2013, 18:00 On a recent visit to Arizona, I stopped for lunch at the Desert Rain Café, on the Tohono O'odham reservation 60 miles west of Tucson. The café serves dishes built on the ingredients that sustained the Native American tribe, who farmed and foraged in the Sonoran Desert for generations. I try some cactus buds, which look like asparagus tips and taste like artichokes. Boiled and tossed in a citrus dressing, they are so delicious that I buy a bag of dried buds to take home with me. The Tohono O'odham is just one of many Native American communities across the country reclaiming a culinary heritage, returning to heirloom crops and wild foraged foods—and in the process, bringing back flavors nearly lost over the past centuries of cultural disruption. Here are six ways to savor the revival. —Karen Shimizu
