1. Introduction to Marian Plum
Table of Contents
Marian Plum, known in Vietnam as Thanh Trà, is an exquisite tropical fruit that resembles a miniature mango in appearance but offers a flavor profile entirely its own. Native to Southeast Asia, it is highly anticipated each season for its bright orange skin and refreshing, juicy pulp.
At Vinahugo, we supply premium Thanh Trà sourced from the specialized orchards of the Mekong Delta (particularly Vĩnh Long). Our fruits are prized for their thin, edible skin and the perfect equilibrium between honey-like sweetness and a sophisticated tangy zest.
