HCM CITY — The new elongated grape called fingernail grapes, grown in Ninh Thuận Province, are attracting curious travellers to the south central province.
The locals began experimenting with the fingernail grape from Japan two years ago hoping for a higher yield in Thái An Village in Ninh Hải District’s Vĩnh Hải Commune.
Fingernail grapes have a sweet, succulent flavor and crunchy skin. Their seeds do not have the typical acridity of other local grapes. Their price starts at VNĐ120,000 (US$5.2) per kg.
Due to its charm, the Thái An grape village is drawing increasing numbers of local and foreign tourists frequenting Ninh Thuận Province. — VNS
