1. Introduction to Burmese Grapes
Table of Contents
Burmese Grapes, known in Vietnam as Dâu Da (or Dâu Da Đất), are a charming tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. Unlike standard grapes, they grow in heavy, cascading clusters directly from the trunk and main branches of the tree—a phenomenon known as cauliflory. These fruits are famous for their leathery, colorful skins and translucent, jelly-like pulp that offers a complex balance of tartness and honey-like sweetness.
At Vinahugo, we supply premium dâu da varieties harvested at peak ripeness. Whether you prefer the sweet green variety or the striking red “earth” variety, our fruits are selected for their plumpness, clarity of pulp, and refreshing flavor profile.
2. Product Varieties
-
Green Burmese Grapes (Dâu Da Xanh): Prized for being the sweetest variety. The skin remains green or yellowish-green even when ripe, protecting a succulent, white-to-ivory pulp.

Red/Earth Burmese Grapes (Dâu Da Đất/Dâu Da Đỏ): Known for their beautiful pink to deep red skins. These often have a more pronounced “wild” tanginess and are rich in natural pigments.
