Te Rau rice from Ban Buot village in Son La province, Vietnam, is famous for its distinctive fragrance and rich sweetness, making it a must-try specialty for anyone visiting the region. The long, slender, white grains cook up into fluffy, fragrant rice that will leave you wanting more.
However, few know the journey Te Rau rice has taken to reach our tables. This rice variety is quite “demanding,” requiring specific soil and climate conditions, a long cultivation period, and yielding less than other rice varieties. Due to these challenges, Te Rau rice was once replaced by easier-to-grow varieties.
Fortunately, thanks to the “Promoting Gender Equality through Improving Economic Efficiency of Agricultural Production and Tourism Development” project funded by the Australian Government, the people of Ban Buot received training and support to continue cultivating this special rice.
The Dong Rung Cooperative plays a crucial role in cultivating and bringing Te Rau rice to consumers. Today, you can easily find Te Rau rice in supermarkets and agricultural stores in Hanoi or order it online at vanhoagritage.com.
Don’t hesitate! Order Te Rau rice from Ban Buot and savor the delicious taste of the Northwestern mountains!
