Unique tree species, leaves are delicious, Hanoi grows a lot

Sau sau tree, or white sau, phong huong... is a woody tree with a trunk diameter of 20-30 cm, about 6-7 m high, growing naturally in the northern mountainous provinces.

Because it is a tall tree, when people want to pick young sau sau shoots to enjoy, they have to struggle to cut branches or climb the tree, which is quite dangerous. Photo: Dan Viet

There are two types of Sau Sau in Lang Son , including purple leaf and green leaf. Photo: Lang Son

The purple variety is preferred because it tastes bitter, has a neutral nature, clears heat and detoxifies, can treat enteritis, epigastric pain, hemoptysis, nosebleeds, and itching... Photo: Lang Son.

Young sau sau leaves often grow in abundance around January, when the weather gradually turns from cold to warm and there is a little drizzle in early spring. Photo: ANTĐ.

Usually, the shoots after sprouting 2 to 3 leaves will be picked by people, so they are very green and naturally clean. Photo: Dan Viet

Young sau sau shoots when picked from the forest are often bundled by people. Photo: ANTĐ.

On average, each time they go to the forest to pick, people pick from 40 to 50 bundles of young sau sau leaves, and sell them for 5,000 to 7,000 VND/bundle. Photo: ANTĐ.

Young sau sau leaves contain a lot of tannin, so they have an astringent taste and aroma similar to white canarium fruit. Dip the sau sau tips in tomato sauce, the astringent taste of the leaves blends with the sour taste of the me and the richness of the canned meat. Photo: ANTĐ

In Hanoi, this tree species is widely planted in the Diplomatic Corps urban area, West West Lake, the Korean Embassy area and the regulating lake of the Exchange City urban area. Photo: Dan Viet
