1. Introduction to Rose Myrtle (Quả Sim)
Table of Contents
Rose Myrtle, known as Quả Sim in Vietnam, is a wild purple berry that flourishes in the sun-drenched hills and coastal mountains of Vietnam. Celebrated in folk songs and traditional medicine, these deep purple fruits are often called the “Gems of the Mountain” due to their intense concentration of anthocyanins and vitamins.
At Vinahugo, we harvest wild Rose Myrtle berries at their peak ripeness when they are soft, sweet, and bursting with pigment. Our drying process preserves the berry’s complex flavor—a unique blend of wild blueberry and a hint of floral rose—making it a prized ingredient for premium liquors, teas, and wellness products.
