Alabama: Priester's Pecans
Dessert in the South basically starts and ends with a gooey pecan pie, especially in Alabama, where the pecan is the official state nut. While there are plenty of farms that pick and package pecans, perhaps the most famous is Priester's, a familyrun business that has been supplying Alabama with its favorite nuts for over seven decades.
Alaska: Salmon Jerky
Forget beef jerky(肉干) — in Alaska, it's all about the salmon jerky. Home to five different species of the flavorful fish (king, red, pink, silver, and chum), the northernmost state produces nearly onethird of the wild salmon consumed around the world. Bonus: Salmon is one of the seven healthiest fish you can eat.
Arizona: Saguaro Cactuses
As the largest cactus(仙人掌) in the United States, the saguaro cactus is found only in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Living to be up to 200 years old, the cactuses, whose flower is also the state's flower, are generally around 30 feet tall and can grow unlimited arms. Want to see for yourself?

California: The Wine Guide
It isn't called the “Wine Country” for no reason. Northern California, specifically Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, produces over 60,000 registered wine labels, making vino the state's most valuable agricultural product. If you're looking for the most popular varietals(品种葡萄酒), the top two frequently planted grapes are Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
