1. Introduction to Red Pomelo

Red Pomelo (Bưởi Đỏ) is one of Vietnam’s most precious citrus varieties. While there are several types, the most famous are the Tan Lac Red Pomelo (from Northern highlands) and the Luoi Liem Red Pomelo. These fruits are celebrated for their striking ruby-red flesh and, in some rare varieties, even a vibrant red rind.

At Vinahugo, we supply export-standard Red Pomelos that are carefully cultivated using organic-oriented practices. Beyond its beautiful appearance, the Red Pomelo is prized for its succulent juice, mild sweetness (non-bitter), and its association with luck and prosperity in Asian cultures.
