Incredible Fruits of Vietnam

Ever hear of the Dragon Fruit? Well, we hadn't, but we were eager to try it out. We sat down at a fruit stall in Ben Thanh Market and proceeded to test out fruits we'd never eaten - or seen - before. Here's just a sample of the variety of fruits that are available in Vietnam.

I'm VIetnamese, live in Saigon.

We call it "Thanh Long" (green-dragon fruit)

VN People plant it a lot in Ninh Thuan & Binh Thuan province

"Thanh long" is mild-sweet and good for health

It is very cheap here ( 75 US cents /1kg!!!)

It's expensive when you buy it in Ben Thanh market or another places in District 1

I'm from VN....Dragon fruit is very good, taste great. It has thousands of small seed so you have to eat them all. The best thing is your body doesn't digest all of those seed so you can see them in your POOPS. Great scene.

There was a type of kiwi fruit I used to get all the time over there that had a cinnamon flavor and was red on the inside. Incredibly delicious! Haven't been able to locate it here in the US. Anybody familiar with it or know it's name? I've heard that there might be a farm that grows them in the Florida Keys...

I'm from South America and we have the yellow dragon fruits. Yellow pitahayas are more common down here. Never seen the red ones like those, It looks delicious! The yellow pitahayas are more clear, more of like a jelly, and it's sweet every bite. It taste like kiwi and grapes.
