1. Introduction to Mầm Đá Vegetables
Table of Contents
Mầm Đá (literally translated as “Stone Sprout”) is a rare and seasonal specialty vegetable belonging to the Mustard family (Brassicaceae). Grown primarily in the cool, high-altitude climates of regions like Sapa, it thrives in the winter frost, which gives it a unique crystalline appearance and a distinctive sweetness.
At Vinahugo, we bring this highland delicacy to the global market. Known for its thick, succulent stalks and tender texture, Mầm Đá is highly sought after by gourmet chefs and health enthusiasts for its seasonal rarity and exceptional nutritional value.
