Mr. Pham Quang Tung, Director of Thanh Tung Van Don Company Limited, shared: Sandworm is a type of seafood with high economic and nutritional value, favored by consumers but complicated to process. In response to market demand and for more convenience in use, after a period of consideration, the company decided to invest in a processing line to make instant products. After being pre-processed, the sandworm is removed, put into the deep processing line system, forming instant fried sandworm products, sandworm floss, and sandworm seasoning powder. This is the first time on the market that there are products processed from Van Don's famous sandworm. These products have been introduced and promoted by the company inside and outside the province, and have been well received and highly appreciated by the market. They are currently being supplied to a number of restaurants in Hanoi.
