1. Introduction to Bánh Cốm
Table of Contents
Bánh Cốm, or Green Rice Cake, is one of Vietnam’s most cherished traditional delicacies, particularly famous in Hanoi. Traditionally associated with engagement and wedding ceremonies, this cake symbolizes a “sweet and enduring bond.” It is crafted from young green rice flakes (Cốm), which form a soft, chewy outer shell, embracing a rich, velvety filling of sweet mung bean and shredded coconut.
At Vinahugo, we offer premium Bánh Cốm that preserves the authentic flavors of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. By combining time-honored artisanal techniques with modern food safety standards, we deliver a product that is both a cultural icon and a gourmet delight.
