Green-skinned pomelo, a specialty fruit from the land of Ben Tre, captures the hearts of connoisseurs with its exquisite taste and incredible health benefits. Originating from Thanh Tan commune, Mo Cay district, Ben Tre province, the green-skinned pomelo quickly became a popular choice for propagation through the method of grafting, ensuring the preservation of the mother tree's characteristics and facilitating easy cultivation and rapid growth.
After years of negotiations, Vietnamese green-skinned pomelos have officially been granted permission for legitimate export to the challenging market of the United States, marking a significant milestone as the seventh Vietnamese fruit allowed for importation into this demanding market.

Similar to the Dien grapefruit in the northern region or the Nam Roi grapefruit from Vinh Long province, the pink-fleshed green-skinned pomelo is favored for various reasons. However, the most important factor that wins over everyone who tastes it is its distinctive and delightful flavor.
In addition to its delicious taste, the green-skinned pomelo also offers remarkable health benefits. This fruit helps strengthen the immune system, fight against flu and free radicals due to its high vitamin C content. It also supports the reduction of cholesterol levels, promoting heart health, and benefits the digestive system with its rich fiber content. Notably, the pomelo peel contains abundant essential oils that contribute to healthy and beautiful hair, reducing breakage and hair loss.
Ben Tre's green-skinned pomelo is recognized as the finest variety in Vietnam.
