Premium Vietnamese Custard Apple – The “Heart of the Mountain” Sweetness

1. Introduction to Vietnamese Custard Apple

The Custard Apple, known in Vietnam as Quả Na, is a beloved tropical fruit cherished for its unique scale-like skin and creamy, ivory-white flesh. While it is grown across the country, two regions are world-famous for their quality: Chi Lang (Lang Son)—grown on high limestone cliffs—and Ba Den Mountain (Tay Ninh).

At Vinahugo, we offer export-grade Custard Apples selected for their high Brix (sweetness) levels, thin skins, and intoxicating floral aroma. We specialize in both the “Chewy” (Na Dai) and “Soft” (Na Bở) varieties to meet diverse market preferences.
