The specialty fruit of Thanh, once forgotten, is now expensive, and the rich are looking to buy it for Tet.

About Luan Van village, Tho Xuong commune (Tho Xuan district, Thanh Hoa) many people will have to admire when admiring the brilliant red grapefruit gardens. 

When young, this type of pomelo is also green like regular pomelos, but when ripe, the whole grapefruit from the peel to the pomelo cloves turns red and looks very fancy.

Luan Van pomelo is sweet, and succulent and has a characteristic aroma.

Previously, Luan Van red pomelo was a product used to advance the King

More than 10 years ago, this variety of pomelo was almost forgotten, partly because it was difficult to grow, low yield but not delicious.

At that time, people brought it to the market to sell, just hoping to earn a few more dongs for Tet, but no one thought it was as valuable as it is now.

After that, this pomelo variety was nursed by people, changed techniques and care, so it revived again.

In recent years, red grapefruit has become a popular specialty, especially during Tet

On the market, red pomelos cost about 200,000 VND/fruit, by the Lunar New Year the price can be up to 250,000 – 300,000 VND/fruit or it can be more expensive.

Red pomelos written in calligraphy can cost up to 1-1.2 million VND/fruit weighing over 2kg.
