Premium Sea Grapes – The “Green Caviar” of the Ocean

1. Introduction to Sea Grapes

Sea Grapes, also known as Rong Nho or Green Caviar, are a type of edible seaweed (Caulerpa lentillifera) prized for their unique appearance and the delightful “popping” sensation they create when eaten. In Vietnam, the pristine coastal waters of Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan provide the ideal environment for cultivating high-quality sea grapes with a clean, salty crunch.

At Vinahugo, we utilize advanced Japanese cultivation techniques and strict water-quality monitoring to produce sea grapes that are rich in minerals and free from impurities. Our “Green Caviar” is a luxury superfood that brings a refreshing taste of the ocean to the global gourmet market.

2. Product Varieties
