A Taste of Vietnam: 5 Vietnamese Fruits You Shouldn’t Miss

Vietnam is not only famous for its pho, spring rolls, or coffee — it is also a land of tropical fruits that carry both flavor and culture. For many of us, these fruits are more than just snacks; they are memories of childhood, of local markets, and of warm family meals.

Here are five Vietnamese fruits you should definitely:

1. Longan (Nhãn)

Sweet, juicy, and fragrant — longan is one of the most loved fruits of summer in Vietnam. It is often eaten fresh, or used to make refreshing desserts such as chè long nhãn.

2. Green Apple (Táo Xanh)

Crunchy with a light tartness, Vietnamese green apples are the perfect snack. Many enjoy them dipped in chili salt, making them both refreshing and addictive.

3. Rose Apple (Roi / Mận)

With its delicate sweetness and high water content, rose apple is a favorite on hot days. Its crisp bite and light flavor make it a simple but memorable fruit.

4. Custard Apple (Na)

Custard apples have a creamy, soft texture with a rich sweetness. Highly nutritious, this fruit is often enjoyed as dessert or eaten fresh after meals.

5. Guava (Ổi)

Perhaps the most iconic everyday fruit in Vietnam, guava is firm and crunchy, with a unique fragrance. When paired with chili salt, it becomes one of the most popular snacks across the country.
