For a long time, Ha Nam is well known as the plane which has weird fruit About Vietnam. It is persimmon without seeds. This fruit is not only big, balanced shape, sweet but also it has no seeds inside. Besides the soft flesh, it has a crunchy part inside. I extremely like this part due to it has a taste like coconut and the smell like rose. So I usually eat more than 3 persimmons when visiting Ha Nam. In recent years, this fruit is reserved and developed by Vietnamese Plant Group.
