Inside the spiny orange rind, the dark red membrane (aril) around the seeds is the edible part. It gives Vietnamese wedding and New Year rice, xoi gac, its colour; the flesh itself is bland and the aroma comes from the aril.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
