LAND IS DELICIOUS AS POLICY

Kaolin is a white clay that is very friable and can withstand high temperatures. The main ingredients in kaolin soil are kaolinite and some other minerals. Kaolin is considered safe for humans. This type of land is located right behind Lap Thach town, Lap Thach district, Vinh Phuc province.

This village is also known as the “earth-eating village” or “specialty food village”. Because although today’s young people in the village no longer eat earth as popular as before, the elderly here consider tiled earth (also known as kaolin) as a favorite dish.

In the past, during the war years, the villagers competed to dig up the ground to feed themselves. They also consider making these “earth cakes” a livelihood.

Vinh Phuc people consider this as a “gift in the ground” because kaolin has many minerals such as zinc, calcium, silicon … very effective in the beauty of women.

In Lap Thach town, people often cut kaolin into small pieces like peanut candy, scrape the outside and only take the white inside, then smoke it on straw or myrtle leaves to “ripe”.

This type of soil when eaten has the smell of smoke, slightly aromatic but also a bit black, fleshy and a little salty. In the past, clay tiles could be found on many mountains, but due to the mining taking place over many generations, now the quantity is only very small.
