Every year Moc Chau provides the whole country with thousands of plum, the fruit has made it name a famous brand of the place. Plums are tasty however we process it. Newly fresh picked plums taste the best when they go with chili pepper salt, salt, chili and pepper combine with sour-sweat plums would make you salivate even imagine about it, let alone having the combination in your mouth.

Fresh plums served with spicy salt

If you’re not a fan of sour, plums can be saved for making jam or dried plum. The half sour and sweat fruit could not be more perfect for a jar of jam or a pack of dried fruit saved for the boring days later. Or, as Vietnamese usually do, plum syrup or alcohol is also not a bad idea at all.

Dried plums
