Vietnamese Food Culture
Product Origin
The VICOSAP Macapuno Coconut Strips originate from Cầu Kè in Trà Vinh Province, a region in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta particularly known for its Macapuno coconuts.
The Macapuno coconut is considered a characteristic specialty of Cầu Kè. Instead of offering the coconut flesh in large pieces or as a whole fruit, VICOSAP processes it into thick, soft and pleasantly chewy strips. This makes the specialty easier to enjoy, store and transport.
VICOSAP Macapuno Coconut Strips were developed to add value to this distinctive regional ingredient and make the specialty from Trà Vinh accessible to a wider range of consumers.
The product has been recognised in Vietnam as a national 5-star OCOP product, placing it among the highly rated regional products within Vietnam’s OCOP programme.
Vietnamese Food Culture
The coconut has been closely connected with everyday life and cuisine in southern Vietnam for generations. Coconut water, coconut flesh and coconut milk are used in numerous traditional and modern dishes – from desserts and snacks to savoury dishes.
Among them, the Macapuno coconut from Cầu Kè holds a special place. It is one of the well-known specialties of Trà Vinh Province. Its flesh differs from that of ordinary coconuts through its thick, soft and pleasantly chewy texture as well as its characteristic coconut aroma.
VICOSAP Macapuno Coconut Strips offer a modern and convenient way to discover this Vietnamese specialty. The coconut flesh is processed into strips that can be enjoyed straight from the jar or easily combined with yoghurt, fruit, cakes and a variety of desserts.
At the same time, the product demonstrates how a regional specialty from the Mekong Delta can be combined with modern processing and packaging to reach consumers around the world – bringing a small taste of Vietnamese food culture to Germany.
