1. Introduction to Cốm
Table of Contents
Green Rice Flakes (known in Vietnam as Cốm) is a delicate and iconic culinary specialty, deeply rooted in the heritage of Northern Vietnam, especially the legendary Vong Village in Hanoi. Made from young glutinous rice harvested while the grains are still filled with “milky” juice, Cốm is celebrated for its soft texture, vibrant emerald color, and a subtle, sweet scent reminiscent of new grass and lotus leaves.
At Vinahugo, we offer the finest selection of authentic Cốm. Our product captures the soul of Vietnamese autumn, providing a unique sensory experience through its elegant flavor and artisanal craftsmanship.
