Improvisation with pomelo

This weekend, the first Thanh Tra Festival organized by Vinh Long province will take place in the “capital” of Thanh Tra trees, Dong Thanh commune (Binh Minh town). People are eager to enjoy 135 dishes made from Thanh Tra and hope that this will be an opportunity for Thanh Tra specialties to be known more widely and develop sustainably.

When it comes to pomelos, many people immediately think of the bright yellow fruit. Once tasted, they will forever remember the characteristic aroma, slightly sour taste, and sweet aftertaste. During pomelo season, people stop by Can Tho Bridge to buy some as gifts for relatives and friends. Customers are often instructed by the seller on how to use it: eat it fresh, make smoothies or juice, all are delicious. The sweet and sour taste of pomelos helps to cool down the hot summer sun.

In addition to sour pomelos, in recent years, tourists have also known sweet pomelos thanks to the hard work of research and development by a farmer, Mr. Nam Cap. Sweet pomelos are more palatable and popular with customers, and have been encouraged to expand their acreage due to their higher economic value compared to sour pomelos.

Hearing about the Thanh Tra festival, people who love new flavors and "gourmets" are curious about what Thanh Tra fruit will look like when used in dishes? A homestay owner seems to understand, posting on her personal page all kinds of dishes with Thanh Tra fruit as the "main character", from salad, hot pot to jelly, cake... Not only "joining in for fun", according to the owner of these dishes, in addition to the beautiful color, the new flavor of Thanh Tra fruit also stimulates the creativity of the chef and brings a feeling of "appetite" at first sight...

From specialties that enrich the culinary brand of Vinh Long province such as My Hoa tofu, Binh Tan sweet potatoes... Hopefully, the creative improvisation of 135 dishes made from pomelos will inspire and guide those who love to explore new flavors to the pomelo land and Vinh Long province - the land of good trees and sweet fruits. At the same time, it contributes to promoting the image and enhancing the value of Binh Minh pomelos, thereby increasing farmers' income and creating a unique product, contributing to promoting the local economy and tourism.
