1. Introduction to Langsat
Table of Contents
Langsat, known scientifically as Lansium parasiticum, is one of Southeast Asia’s most exquisite seasonal fruits. It is characterized by its thin, pale yellow, leathery skin that often features small brown spots—a natural sign of ripeness and high sugar content. Inside, the fruit contains five translucent, juicy segments that offer a complex, refreshing flavor profile blending grapefruit-like acidity with honey-like sweetness.
At Vinahugo, we supply premium Langsat sourced from the legendary orchards of Central and Southern Vietnam. Our fruits are selected for their thin skins, minimal latex, and plump, succulent segments.
