Premium Vietnamese Air-Dried Persimmon – The Naturally Sweet Highland Delicacy

1. Introduction to Vietnamese Air-Dried Persimmon

Air-Dried Persimmon, famously known in Vietnam as Hồng Treo Gió, is a luxurious artisanal delicacy originating from the misty highlands of Da Lat (Lam Dong province). Unlike traditional heat-dried fruits, these persimmons are crafted using the Japanese Hoshigaki technique, where they are hung to dry naturally by the wind and sunlight for 20 to 30 days.

At Vinahugo, we select only the finest “Trứng” (Egg) persimmons from Cầu Đất, known for their high sugar content and thin skin. The result is a fruit with a beautiful amber exterior and a core filled with thick, honey-like nectar.
