1. Introduction to Gac Fruit
Table of Contents
Gac Fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis), also known as the “Red Sweet Gourd” or “Baby Jackfruit,” is a rare tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, it is celebrated as the “Fruit from Heaven” due to its legendary nutritional profile and its vibrant, auspicious red color.
At Vinahugo, we specialize in the processing of premium Gac aril (the fleshy red seed membrane). Because fresh Gac is seasonal and highly perishable, we utilize advanced freeze-drying (freeze-dried) technology to produce Gac powder and Gac oil. This ensures that the record-breaking levels of Lycopene and Beta-Carotene—sensitive to heat and light—are perfectly preserved for global export.
