Specialty “Earth Dragon” Hai Duong
There are two harvest seasons for worms in a year. Spring crop is from April to May and autumn crop is from September to November of the lunar calendar. Therefore, our folk have a folk song to talk about the time when worms are in season: "Twenties in September, fifth in October". They are most popular in the early or middle days of the month. Specifically around 1-2 a.m. on the 1st and 2nd day or 7-8 p.m. on the Full Moon day. On other days, worms will appear very rarely, or even not appear at all. Therefore, the price of Ruoi will be quite high. But no matter how expensive it is, customers still buy it, some customers even buy a few pounds to keep in the freezer to eat later.
Whenever tourists from all over mention Ruoi, they immediately think of Eastern specialties. We can make many dishes from Ruoi, all of which are delicious, attractive and have high nutritional content. According to nutrition experts, Ruoi provides a lot of important protein and mineral salts, helping to improve health.
To meet the needs of diners, Ha Tien Fiddler Specialty Co., Ltd. has launched products such as Cha Ruoi, Mam Ruoi,...
