Premium Vietnamese Green Artichoke – The Natural Superfood of Da Lat Highlands

1. Introduction to Green Artichoke

Vietnamese Green Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a signature specialty of the misty highlands of Da Lat, Vietnam. Thriving in the cool, temperate climate and fertile volcanic soil at an altitude of 1,500m, Da Lat artichokes are globally recognized for their superior therapeutic properties and distinct floral aroma.

At Vinahugo, we supply premium fresh and dried Green Artichokes, harvested at the peak of their nutritional potency. Unlike common varieties, our Da Lat Green Artichokes are prized for their thick, succulent bracts and a large, tender “heart” that offers a subtle sweetness and a refreshing, earthy finish.
